anyone here heard 'locussolus'? any impressions yet?

some talk on the beardo disco thread-- L&PT remix def the standout. actually listening to it at this very moment :D

L+PT and Emperor Machine remixes are really all I find myself revisiting on the Locussolus album.

Is it even an album? Feels like an EP padded out with a load of remixes but, yeah, kinda disappointing.

^^ its pretty much it, i guess. some sort of compilation of previous ep's with a bunch of remixes thrown in.

I really like the new IFEEL Studio release

really feeling that Mythical Beasts release, Its a good sign on remixes when the Brennan Green one isn't the best.

wrt the locussolus lp's weak reception, is it just a reaction to the lack of new material (which, come on, it's all fairly new right?) or do people actually not like the music all that much? because for my money, gunship, little boots, i want it, and next to you all tower over most everything else i've been listening to in this neighborhood for the past year or so & have been on repeat from day one. and throwdown is getting a far worse rap than it deserves from what i can tell - what IS the problem with taking sleazy disco rock into 90s malls?
disappointing from a 'i want more!!' perspective, maybe, but does anyone dispute the bassline in 'next to you'? or the solo in 'gunship'? or all 28 gloriously sweaty minutes of 'little boots'??

Not 100% sure whether this is the right thread, but the new Out of City album is some pretty neat space disco.

found that on spotify today ( :
― ILX Point Never (diamonddave85), Thursday, 14 July 2011 21:14 (thirteen years ago) link
I really want Volume 1 of that to "turn up" because I want a decent version of Bubble Club's "Violet Morning Moon". The Lee Douglas remix of that Yuki Suzuki remix is real John Talabot vibes to my ears.

otm!
― ( •ิ.•ั) (gr8080), Thursday, 14 July 2011 22:40 (thirteen years ago) link
I actually did purchase the track off iTunes as an individual track but it still sounds like it's been cut off at the end, there's a little outro arpeggio that just stops seemingly midway :(
― ha ha ha ha jack my swag (boxedjoy), Thursday, 14 July 2011 22:54 (thirteen years ago) link
which, the bubble club or the yuki suzuki?
― ( •ิ.•ั) (gr8080), Friday, 15 July 2011 00:14 (thirteen years ago) link
Bubble Club and Yuki Suzuki are on eMusic as well.
― beta blog, Friday, 15 July 2011 03:12 (thirteen years ago) link
Speaking of Bubble Club, Morning Star (Soft Rocks remix) is my balearic tune of the moment, especially if you pitch it down a bit. Lovely.

Ohh Gr80 I'm enjoying that Vol. 2!

The self titled Chad Valley EP is really great-- cutty turned me on to it last fall.

MAHALO CUTTY
― ( •ิ.•ั) (gr8080), Friday, 15 July 2011 10:19 (thirteen years ago) link
Cascine, which Chad Valley are on, is a really good label for this sort of thing - the new Southern Shores EP is doing me nicely as an Air France substitute.
― ha ha ha ha jack my swag (boxedjoy), Friday, 15 July 2011 11:20 (thirteen years ago) link
max essa's "panorama suite" from that future balearica compilation is 20 minutes of amazing sophie b hawkins vibes and it rules

i like the original too but this johan agebjorn remix of the first wolfram single is real good and p balearic to boot
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z0amtm-ORCU
is there a sade house thread yet? w+l is only scratching the surface imo
― a lagoon par la mer (psychgawsple), Saturday, 6 August 2011 00:01 (thirteen years ago) link
are people actually using the term "sade house" outside of ilx?
― ( •ิ.•ั) (gr8080), Saturday, 6 August 2011 00:05 (thirteen years ago) link
all i know is a few years ago i dl'd a ton of sade house & d'n'b remixes
― jaxon, Saturday, 6 August 2011 00:08 (thirteen years ago) link
w + l call themselves sade house. and regardless of if it's just an ilm thing there should be a thread! d'n'b remixes sound awful tho
also i think these were mentioned as balearic and awesome on other threads but just in case no one has mentioned them here:
teengirl fantasy - cheaters (john talabot remix) &kolombo - waiting for (michael mayer remix)
both are excellent nu-balearic house tunes

teengirl fantasy - cheaters (john talabot remix)
OTM-- so in love w/ this

i like that too. is the other julian mendelsohn stuff similar at all?
this one is also from 2010 iirc but holy hell is it immersive

this one is pretty cool too imo, from the newer cfcf ep

Some of this is balearic...some is just a few BPMs faster. Enjoy!

Argy - Wish You Were Here (Vocal Mix)
Would just like to point out that this is brilliant - very lush and sunny and sounds like it could have been released in 1991, probably my favourite release on Permanent Vacation this year.
