i couldn't say it's the alcachofa of the year -- funny, just yesterday was in convo with a friend and we decided there wasn't one this year -- but it's pretty darn good.

i really dig it, though i haven't put it in on in months...

The dark, convoluted tracks near the middle of the album (from "Long Way Down" to "That's How I Like It) are sublime. In a blow against diversity, I wish the whole album continued in this same vein....when "Buck" kicks in, I get the feeling of the musical fog (and my interest) dissolving.

Heard about 30 seconds of it... pure heat

― superultramega (superultramarinated), Tuesday, 27 July 2004 19:07 (twenty-one years ago)

re-reading that, I realize what a twat I sound like today, so please pretend it never happened

~~YOU SOUND LIKE A TWAT~~

actually hearing it described as "pure heat" really makes me want to get it!!

― vahid (vahid), Tuesday, 27 July 2004 19:20 (twenty-one years ago)

i'm sure it is pure heat. i want to bump it in my car NOW.

also is luke vibert the new paradigm for american indietronica producers?? (different names for different projects, attempts at many different genres, slightly tongue-in-cheek production)

does james cotton have any of that kerrier district goofiness??

― vahid (vahid), Tuesday, 27 July 2004 19:56 (twenty-one years ago)

ain't nothin' goofy about cotton - or, indeed, with any of mullinix's stuff, really. he's pretty brow-furrowed and focused, which is precisely why i like him so much. agreed, the best of "the dancing box" is the almost EBM-like darkness of it. sinister.

― philip sherburne (philip sherburne), Tuesday, 27 July 2004 21:02 (twenty-one years ago)

I fuckin agree with Philip although I think it would work better broken out into singles. Sinister yes.

Is Wagon Christ moving towards being our new Lawrence Welk?

A taste, at least...

― vahid (vahid), Wednesday, 28 July 2004 03:11 (twenty-one years ago)

so i am going to a dabyre show this sunday. how can i make him play james cotton traxx??

― vahid (vahid), Wednesday, 28 July 2004 03:12 (twenty-one years ago)

maybe if i wear an O.R. mask, a big flourescent green t-shirt and big white gloves and just stand in front of his set-up and waaaaaave my hands in face??

― vahid (vahid), Wednesday, 28 July 2004 03:14 (twenty-one years ago)

Heh. Chances are Tadd would just nod and blush.

― Aaron W (Aaron W), Wednesday, 28 July 2004 03:50 (twenty-one years ago)

i just got this and it is indeed excellent. i love the way the tracks sound like they are going to fall apart and the overdriven analog synths.
