King Crimson - Discipline

dang pande you just sent out a creepy omen
i read your post here earlier in the day and then about an hour later i learn that KC is going be reuniting for a few gigs in NYC and LA!

i wish i could say i was going but sadly $$$$$ and the fact is i've seen them a number of times before


tangerine dream is coming soon as well......i hope i can maybe pull this one off. zero idea what to expect as i'm mainly stuck in the 70s with them =()

Yeah, I was also creeped out by the King Crimson information... Robert Fripp...

I don't what's happening with my brain regarding music lately... I'm working on MPB4 tracklist and... 9 times out of 10 I guess the band (and probably the album and decade too) on just three or four tries... And I'm like... how do I know this? I've listened to that album just once 10 years ago... It's like I'm calibrated at 99% all the time

Avoid avoid avoid avoid avoid avoid. Lots of miming and '80s new age synth presets.

In case you need more reason

Artists I've listened to a lot lately: Massive Attack, The xx, Placebo, Linkin Park, The National, Deftones.

np:
Foster The People - Pumped Up Kicks

Currently on the radio. Now this is good pop music *whistles along*

haha my goodness razorjack THAT song!



thanks for the info ross i'm about to check this link
sad news but i would def prefer to save the money if they are that far off these days




pande - we prolly have all of this stuff stored neatly and just don't know how to properly access.
maybe you are finding the right zen spot to tap into this resource
slike subliminal or something

I don't post what I'm listening to very often, but I figured this would be worth a mention - seriously one of the most incredible albums I've come across this year - or any year. Bataille Solaire's "Documentaires", released on cassette last year - I came across it by chance, noticed the rather vibrant cover artwork, and my mind was absolutely blown when I started listening. Not many albums have made me grin ear to ear all the way through, but this was one. If you're into that new-agey/sci-fi/arpeggiator/synth music style, this will NOT disappoint. Here's the Bandcamp link: http://bataillesolaire.bandcamp.com/album/documentaires

ok ross thanks again :-/
i listened to the whole dang thing
surely a couple sweet parts but as a whole kinda snoozer 80s new age idk.
those chicks are a big culprit. they just bring cheese to the table.
there just shouldn't be violin jams in TG music......this is just over the limit



ok....now i'm going to listen to nmesh's link

AND start a new thread now that i'm inspired to

Linda Spa's been playing sax with them since 1990. In general though yeah, they really haven't moved on from the 80s with their synth patches, lots of really awful general MIDI-sounding new age bell synths and stuff, with added 'modern' (i.e. ten years out of date) beats. I prefer to think that nothing after Underwater Sunlight exists - and even that's the only one after Hyperborea I can actually listen to. Edgar stopped being an interesting musician a very long time ago, sadly.


np ELO - 10538 Overture (FSOL Cosmic Jukebox Remix)
Or at least the 1.31 we have of it. I truly hope this comes out someday in its original 2000 / 2001 form. Memories of being SO excited about the return of FSOL and their new psychedelic sound... the way the ride / snare beat comes in at 35 seconds is brilliant. So much punch to it.

Global Communication - 76:14 Bonus Disc

Is there much else by these guys other than the album and the stuff on the bonus disc?

Pentamerous Metamorphosis is excellent. Technically a remix album of Chapterhouse's second record, but you wouldn't know if from listening. Their album A Collection of Short Stories under the name Reload is also excellent, although a bit harsher sounding in places.
