I must admit I've barely played this since January 3 but it is sounding magnificent right now.

Still love The Dark - listen to it all the time, especially if I need to get into a writing zone. (And yet I am left totally cold by the stuff he does under his own name.)

just occurred to me that Closure taps into the same part of my brain as Cap.IV - and while the latter is better, the former is still wonderful

Hadn't clocked that.
There's an expanded version of Semtex due soon (most of the extra tracks seemingly as downloads).
― djh, Wednesday, 6 January 2016 19:09 (eight years ago) link
woo. underlooked classic imo. and seemingly out of print for a while (tried to find one after my copy got trapped in a closing cd player tray and scratched)

Via his Facebook:
Damn! Once again I forgot to spam for the release of my new album! So, yeah, I've got a new album out available from my wonderful independent label ici d'ailleurs http://www.icidailleurs.com/index.php… If you like what we do please help us to continue making music (Third Eye Foundation is the next project in the pipeline)

Pleasantly surprised to find a new TEF album released today, Wake the Dead: https://open.spotify.com/album/6yIG5cMp3wolz2W6REn5uR?si=Y_EqoCY8SdOvm7NtOJ81Ag

whaaaaatt!!!
― Le Bateau Ivre, Friday, 9 February 2018 15:04 (six years ago) link
That is... unexpected, after so many Elliott records. Going to save this one for tonight.
― Le Bateau Ivre, Friday, 9 February 2018 15:06 (six years ago) link
woah!

holy shit the way this has begun

he seems to have synthesised his various interests into one terrifying whole
― imago, Friday, 9 February 2018 15:21 (six years ago) link
I find myself wondering how to buy an *un-signed* version in the UK unless anyone can vouch that Matt has lovely handwriting.
― djh, Saturday, 10 February 2018 14:34 (six years ago) link
Wouldn't count on it.
This is one hell of an album though. That bass!
― Le Bateau Ivre, Monday, 12 February 2018 19:16 (six years ago) link
Weird, the album disappeared from Spotify,ad so did The Dark
― sctttnnnt (pgwp), Tuesday, 13 February 2018 00:07 (six years ago) link
Was just coming to say that: very odd
― Mince Pramthwart (James Morrison), Tuesday, 13 February 2018 05:57 (six years ago) link
I can't find anywhere to hear it, but ordered the LP from Norman Records. They have the CD too, and presumably Matt isn't writing on all of them?

Ha, yes. Also bought from Norman in a "not scribbled on" version.
Even played quietly, the bass on the opening track prompts grumbles from the next room.

I realized I haven't listened to Semtex in forever so I just put it on and "Sleep" is still incredible
― brigadier pudding (DJP), Friday, 6 December 2019 13:55 (four years ago) link
Pretty much every 3EF release is amazing, I still regularly play them. I'm a huge stan for Elliott's work under his own name, too, though that's very different.
― Le Bateau Ivre, Friday, 6 December 2019 14:17 (four years ago) link
By coincidence or otherwise, I've been playing various TEF tracks recently.
Yes, Sleep is incredible. I'm enjoying Wake The Dead tonight.
― djh, Friday, 6 December 2019 19:25 (four years ago) link
Do you have the extended version of Semtex? It was expanded to a double cd and came with a download code for another two hours, 29 tracks total.
― koogs, Friday, 6 December 2019 19:45 (four years ago) link
I... do not
― totally unnecessary bewbz of exploitation (DJP), Friday, 6 December 2019 19:47 (four years ago) link
They was a solid couple of months when I'd hear something unfamiliar but that I liked on my MP3 player and when I'd take it out and look it'd be one of those extra tracks.
― koogs, Friday, 6 December 2019 20:14 (four years ago) link
I must have this extended version.
― Ned Raggett, Friday, 6 December 2019 21:22 (four years ago) link
me too!
― Tsar Bombadil (James Morrison), Saturday, 7 December 2019 08:35 (four years ago) link
I only got around to listening to Wake The Dead a couple of weeks ago, it's very dark.

Did anyone ever watch the film?

First I'm hearing about it but it looks great. Will try to make some time to watch this weekend
