There are 3 soft circle threads on the All Noise Dude Summertime Fun Board and Pickle Bar, this one's about the new record.

who, in this day and age, has such a hard time with people who are active in more than one medium...

" I’m not sure what song this is." = amateurist?

"im not sure what sonf this is." = reason for nard shots

do you like Mickey Hart?

― jaxon (jaxon), Monday, 29 January 2007 18:36 (nineteen years ago)

"Sundazed" is fucking amazing. whole album is really nice, but that one totally stands out.

― jaxon (jaxon), Monday, 29 January 2007 18:36 (nineteen years ago)

deindexed.

― Steve Shasta (Steve Shasta), Monday, 29 January 2007 19:16 (nineteen years ago)

hmmmmm.

― acid waffle house (dubplatestyle), Monday, 29 January 2007 20:17 (nineteen years ago)

so when exactly is this thing out? eastern developments website is of no help.

― acid waffle house (dubplatestyle), Monday, 29 January 2007 20:18 (nineteen years ago)

not so good

― UART variations (ex machina), Monday, 29 January 2007 20:30 (nineteen years ago)

it's out today in the UK and Japan. I think it's out tomorrow in the USA.

Is "sundazed" the one that sounds like a ninja shimmying the walls of the bubble room in willy wonka and the chocolate factory?

― T. Weiss (Timmy), Wednesday, 31 January 2007 19:41 (nineteen years ago)

I like it.

― Rebel.yell.For.Internet.cakes (nordicskilla), Saturday, 3 February 2007 21:39 (nineteen years ago)

SUCKS

― UART variations (ex machina), Sunday, 4 February 2007 00:49 (nineteen years ago)

yeah i want to like this but it just sounds like peter gabriel's soundtrack to "last temptation of christ" ... keep expecting nusrat fateh ali khan to start belting out ...

― vahid (vahid), Sunday, 4 February 2007 08:25 (nineteen years ago)

i gave up on it quick...just feels lazy and uninspired. we hate it when our friends and aquaintences become unsuccessful

― bb (bbrz), Sunday, 4 February 2007 13:56 (nineteen years ago)

i was going to hold my tongue, but since we're deindexed here i couldnt get over how it sounded like the background music at The Body Shop.

― the kwisatz bacharach (sanskrit), Sunday, 4 February 2007 14:05 (nineteen years ago)

hmmm, whered i find that smallknife.jpg in the indierock thread again?

― bb (bbrz), Sunday, 4 February 2007 14:25 (nineteen years ago)

i like it. it's good fallin' asleep music.

― acid waffle house (dubplatestyle), Sunday, 4 February 2007 17:33 (nineteen years ago)

it's great actually

― Rebel.yell.For.Internet.cakes (nordicskilla), Sunday, 4 February 2007 18:22 (nineteen years ago)

So the lines are drawn:

NYC=AGAINST
NOT NYC=FOR

― UART variations (ex machina), Sunday, 4 February 2007 19:55 (nineteen years ago)

― bb (bbrz), Sunday, 4 February 2007 21:31 (nineteen years ago)

The lines are really only drawn as such if you see the world a very certain way. I don't.

― Rebel.yell.For.Internet.cakes (nordicskilla), Sunday, 4 February 2007 21:42 (nineteen years ago)

the 2nd half is better than the 1st

― vahid (vahid), Sunday, 4 February 2007 21:44 (nineteen years ago)

id put it on now, but im a bit too into these black flag demos to make it a fair appraisal

― bb (bbrz), Sunday, 4 February 2007 22:03 (nineteen years ago)

the dancey last track "earthed" is kind of good. nice cover art. trying to be kind here.

― the kwisatz bacharach (sanskrit), Monday, 5 February 2007 00:10 (nineteen years ago)

moving to nyc kills everyone's creativity

― UART variations (ex machina), Monday, 5 February 2007 00:13 (nineteen years ago)

yeah, did you hear what it did to dylan?

come on, jon...

― bb (bbrz), Monday, 5 February 2007 05:00 (nineteen years ago)

do the NYers not even like "Sundazed"? i think that's the only one i'd go back to now. (i usually give first listens a higher rating just for newness factor, i rarely listen to most things more than once)

― jaxon (jaxon), Monday, 5 February 2007 07:00 (nineteen years ago)

i just put this on w/o introduction and girlfriend starts moaning "why are you putting on SPA MUSIC, i'm trying to stay awake and read kant" ...

i am liking this better and better as i listen to it, especially the 2nd half which reminds me a lot of my favorite parts of jackie o motherfucker

― vahid (vahid), Monday, 5 February 2007 08:20 (nineteen years ago)

i guess it's just a weird adjustment ... i was expecting "seadrum" crossed w/ "beaches and canyons" and instead it's got more of a JOMF vibe ... the only tracks i still have major problems w/ are #s 2 + 3.

― vahid (vahid), Monday, 5 February 2007 08:22 (nineteen years ago)

i think "ascend" and "shimmer" / "whirled" / "earth" are pretty amazing, actually ... maybe not coincidentally the closest to "beaches and canyons"

what is the jp bonus track??

and what about "beaches and canyons". is there a black dice socal connection? how did these guys nail the cosmic beaches and canyons vibes so well if they're from maine or whatever??

― vahid (vahid), Monday, 5 February 2007 08:26 (nineteen years ago)

TS: The Summer Hits Beaches and Canyons vs. Black Dice Beaches & Canyons

― Steve Shasta (Steve Shasta), Monday, 5 February 2007 08:40 (nineteen years ago)

You mean you guys didn't hear feel the light or ascend like 2 years ago? lol

is there a black dice socal connection?

some of dem are from socal originally? There was T Tauri which was California/Colorado?

ALSO RHODE ISLAND = OCEAN STATE = WINDSURFING HEAVEN

― UART variations (ex machina), Monday, 5 February 2007 08:41 (nineteen years ago)

and shasta beats me to the post (fuck u dialup)!

Beaches and Canyons is 5 years old and still better than any of the wank since then

― UART variations (ex machina), Monday, 5 February 2007 08:43 (nineteen years ago)

You mean you guys didn't hear feel the light or ascend like 2 years ago? lol

check the first post n00b.

WHAT IS JP BONUS TRACK

― vahid (vahid), Monday, 5 February 2007 09:06 (nineteen years ago)

I was lolling a Vahid!

― UART variations (ex machina), Monday, 5 February 2007 14:49 (nineteen years ago)

I LIKE.

― BONERTIME! (ddb1), Monday, 5 February 2007 16:05 (nineteen years ago)

The vocals bring to mind both TM and bodhisttva dharma/sutra.

― Steve Shasta (Steve Shasta), Monday, 5 February 2007 17:23 (nineteen years ago)

not good

― Jack Cole (jackcole), Monday, 5 February 2007 22:38 (nineteen years ago)

Providence > NYC (until everyone you like moves to NYC and you get tired of hanging out by your high school)

― UART variations (ex machina), Monday, 5 February 2007 22:46 (nineteen years ago)

(uhhh except elmo obv)

― UART variations (ex machina), Monday, 5 February 2007 22:46 (nineteen years ago)

"Stones And Trees" is the standout track for me.

― Steve Shasta (Steve Shasta), Tuesday, 6 February 2007 19:03 (nineteen years ago)

i'm kind of bummed though... there's a song in his live set that isn't on this record nor the 7" that i really like. it's the really loud one in open D-tuning (D A D F# A D). :-(

i prefer Hiram Bocachica

― the kwisatz bacharach (sanskrit), Wednesday, 7 February 2007 03:47 (nineteen years ago)

is this an lp-only release, or will there be cds too? anyone?

― Raymond Cummings (Raymond Cummings), Wednesday, 7 February 2007 16:18 (nineteen years ago)

No, the release is not lp pnly. The cd is out now in the U.S.

― Kate Thompson (Chel5), Thursday, 8 February 2007 00:59 (nineteen years ago)

Yes, the Japanese release does have a bonus track. It's a remix by Guillermo Scott Heron (aka Prefuse 73) of one of the songs (I'm not sure which) from the album.

― Kate Thompson (Chel5), Thursday, 8 February 2007 01:01 (nineteen years ago)

Soft Circle’s new album, Shore Obsessed (Post Present Medium), is its first to feature collaborations from new member and multi-instrumentalist Benjamin Vida (Town and Country, Bird Show, Singer), and includes additional vocals by singer-songwriter Matteah Baim.
