Todd Terje: "Snooze 4 Love" (masterpiece alert)

yes but i was referring to the 3CD bootleg comp that Todd Terje asked people not to purchase in the comments section of its discogs page before it was apparently removed

its here but not linked from his main entry i guess

yeesh from discogs in ref. to another tt boot:

Ran this through a spectrum analyzer. Bad quality mp3's were used to create this compilation. Wouldn't buy it if you care for good sound quality.

..or if you don't want to be a dick

how much money would he directly have made off of white label re-edits rly?

Yeah grady I mean if there's two options available why not take the nice one?

totally!

The two "crimes" don't equate: one is an artistic endeavor with prob very little payoff*, the other is someone cashing in on his name and meeting an obvious demand. I just mean like you put that shit out there under shady circumstances, turnabout is (sort of) fair play.

I was just loling at it, not saying dude was out of line to call the bootleggers out or anything.

*there's the value of name recognition/publicity for TT with each white label release tho obv

generally love this guy but i dont really get whats so rmarkable about snooze 4 love, i am not really entranced by it, i don't go anywhere, its static (on purpose)? maybe im being unfairly dismissive because its too plinky? i want to hear what u all hear i wanna GO THERE

im w/ flopson on this one, its good tho

join us.

flopson, did you try it in a club? don't anticipate any effect, just let it do its thing

it worked magically at Sunday Best tonight.
and the Stevie---> Roy Ayers ---> Carpenters' "Close to You" was a fine finale.

I have this arpeggio instead of an internal monologue now

i wish my back wasn't all fucked up so i could run to this

Cor, this is lovely.

And I just stopped it by posting! Gah...

I have this arpeggio instead of an internal monologue now

Ha, my girlfriend teases me because I'm always humming the arpeggio aloud (the little grace-note bleep bloop at the end of the phrase sounds extremely ridiculous vocalized)...

haha i caught myself doing the same thing walking to lunch the other day

LOVE "Snooze 4 Love." Started my last mix with the beatless version of it, actually, and it turns out to mix wonderfully well with Jay Shepheard's remix of "Sunday Smoking."

someone needs to do a five-hour edit of the beatless one.

nice mix, phil-- gr8 start to my morning :)

i guess i'm alone in not really getting this one. it does sound nice, though.

gr80 props for the forward planning involved in bringing blank CDs to a gig!

it was a happy accident, but ive since made sure i have a few w/ me since.

That portamento on the grace notes just totally puts me in my happy place. It's become one of those guaranteed "makes everything better" tracks.

It's a hell of a 2am London nightbus jam also

is he gay? because i'm keen and up for it. i don't like snooze for love all that much though, it's just okay. i'm actually quite confused that anyone would like it so much to start a thread about it.

There s/b more threads like this, just about hot songs people are into. I feel like it used to happen more often, back in the old days, but now everything's relegated to artist-specific or rolling-genre threads.

Just saying, b/c I probably never would've heard this track otherwise.

(Ha, I didn't even read jed's post right above mine.)

yeah i kinda agree cuz i like these threads, the reasoning (on my part) for not starting song=specific threads is partly a) fear of tumbleweeds, which has happened a couple of times, b) if i started a new thread for every hot song i was into i'd be starting, like, at least one a day

(i have a really bad sense of what songs are potential crossovers)

Yeah, rolling thread ghettoization typically leads to discussion stagnation, especially with dance music I find.

Rolling threads have their uses but I do like threads like this and the Disco En Paradiso one. Even if there's nothing to say about the track and it's just people enthusing.

You really notice the influence of rolling threads when you get to ILM End of Year lists and they're full of songs that different blocs have voted for and everyone else goes "what's that? It's great!"

Also I find dutifully clicking through endless Youtube clips on an ILM thread to be a really joyless way of listening to music, but that might just be me.

oh, same here - i usually try to find mp3s of the youtubes mentioned then listen to them at my own leisure

(i have a really bad sense of what songs are potential crossovers)

WUT WUT WUT WUT WUT

i totally assumed that would have 3 posts then die

conversely i thought ilm would go nuts for creep/romy xx, which pretty much DID get 3 posts then die

seriously, zero sense of what crossover appeal is

There's been quite a lot of love for the Creep/Romy song hasn't there? Or am I just confusing that with Ned and Dan being goths as usual.

it's worth rolling the dice sometimes, was my point

I dug creep/romy too btw but probably most of us who like it would have come across it eventually without that thread - the fact that the WUT WUT WUT thread probably introduced a huge majority of us to the song is what made it Tracks Poll Winner, I reckon.

also so many people would have clicked out of curiosity on a thread titled WUT WUT WUT WUT WUT, not even noticing what board it was on. whereas (feat romy from the xx) would have made heaps of ppl not bother clicking.

tbh I am totally a goth too

really???? oh god, i don't even have any sense of how to title a thread then. i only called the WUT thread that b/c i thought no one would click anyway, so what the hell. whereas i thought, in light of the huge xx love here, putting 'romy from the xx" in the title would pique people's curiosity.

well, people who think they don't like the xx, I mean. not people who WOULD be interested anyway.

"masterpiece alert" is good if u wanna pique ppl's interest

it sets yourself up for a fall though if people don't think it's a masterpiece

all of this is why i don't start threads, anyway

Rolling masterpiece nomination thread plz, abuse of which gets folks locked in the stocks.

this thread did ok

track id: DO YO FEEL THAT? (played by wighnomy brothers recently)

i might start another

it didn't do as epically well as honkytonk/saloon/mechanical piano - claude bolling etc

i started a thread

its here

this is a good record i would like to buy it but i don't know what it is

There s/b more threads like this, just about hot songs people are into. I feel like it used to happen more often, back in the old days, but now everything's relegated to artist-specific or rolling-genre threads.

As an old-timer who took a break from, like, '04 pretty much to a few months ago, it's interesting to read this. I like the rolling-genre threads in principle, but it feels as if they often get commandeered by a few folks that are far more knowledgeable about the genre than most others, and I think others get scared off a little from posting (at least, I know this has happened to me). The occasional "I'm really feeling this" thread feels much more inviting...

Also, I'm usually either reading ILM on my phone while I'm "on the road" or while I'm home working (in which case my stereo is on), and the constant stream of YouTubes on the rolling-genre threads is never really something I can make use of. (Ironic, I suppose, that I started this thread then with a YouTube.)

Also I find dutifully clicking through endless Youtube clips on an ILM thread to be a really joyless way of listening to music, but that might just be me.
