Is this doomed to be underwhelming though?

― Michael F Gill (Michael F Gill), Friday, 4 February 2005 23:20 (twenty years ago)

Of course it is.

― Alba (Alba), Friday, 4 February 2005 23:21 (twenty years ago)

No it's not. It is guaranteed to be an album so good that all other albums will wither and die under the sheer weight of Vitalic's steely gaze!

― Ronan (Ronan), Friday, 4 February 2005 23:22 (twenty years ago)

Hang on, isn't 'Wooo' that rubbish 60s organ thing that was the shit bit of the Fanfares EP? What's that doing on there and not either of the other two tracks?

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Friday, 4 February 2005 23:23 (twenty years ago)

I predict this will be full of covers of Radiohead songs in a Big and Rich style.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Friday, 4 February 2005 23:24 (twenty years ago)

Mooo!

― Alba (Alba), Friday, 4 February 2005 23:24 (twenty years ago)

Save A Horse (Ride A Poney)

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Friday, 4 February 2005 23:26 (twenty years ago)

I'm sorry.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Friday, 4 February 2005 23:27 (twenty years ago)

bound to be an anti climax, but 'warm leatherette'!!!!!

― stirmonster, Friday, 4 February 2005 23:27 (twenty years ago)

Valletta Fanfares is Fanfares as far as I can tell.

I am disappointed there are no collaborations with people like Mos Def, Run DMC, Alex Kapranos, or Ian Brown.

― Ronan (Ronan), Friday, 4 February 2005 23:29 (twenty years ago)

It's a bit weird the way a remix of someone else is a b-side.

― Alba (Alba), Friday, 4 February 2005 23:29 (twenty years ago)

My sources tell me Bloc Party feature on 'My Friend Dario', Ronan.

― Alba (Alba), Friday, 4 February 2005 23:30 (twenty years ago)

noel gallagher is on poney pt. 2.

― stirmonster, Friday, 4 February 2005 23:32 (twenty years ago)

Iggy Pop is on No Fun.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Friday, 4 February 2005 23:33 (twenty years ago)

Actually that would be the most awesome thing ever. PLEASE TELL ME ITS A STOOGES COVER IN SCUZZY VITALIC STYLE!

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Friday, 4 February 2005 23:33 (twenty years ago)

Kate Thornton is on "Mooo"

― Ronan (Ronan), Friday, 4 February 2005 23:33 (twenty years ago)

"Newman" samples from Seinfeld

― Michael F Gill (Michael F Gill), Friday, 4 February 2005 23:34 (twenty years ago)

Surely La Rock 01 will be a rejigged version? Am I the only one who thinks it's straining a bit now? It is from 2001 or something isn't it? Yeah I know shock horror a record 4 years old but still.

― Ronan (Ronan), Friday, 4 February 2005 23:35 (twenty years ago)

Its a typo, its actually 'My Friend Darius'.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Friday, 4 February 2005 23:35 (twenty years ago)

Sienna Miller provides backing vocals throughout.

― Alba (Alba), Friday, 4 February 2005 23:36 (twenty years ago)

Ronan dude 'Positive Education' was like ten years old when it finally appeared on a Slam album.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Friday, 4 February 2005 23:36 (twenty years ago)

I wonder if there are people who still haven't heard it, or have heard it but didn't realize it was him. It *is* his signature song though.

― Michael F Gill (Michael F Gill), Friday, 4 February 2005 23:37 (twenty years ago)

Is anyone else slightly perturbed by a track called Polkamatic?

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Friday, 4 February 2005 23:37 (twenty years ago)

there is a vocal mix of La Rock 01 coming out on Defected

― Ronan (Ronan), Friday, 4 February 2005 23:38 (twenty years ago)

La Rock 01 and Poney Parts 1 and 2 are all from the 2001 EP. Only You Prefer Cocaine is omitted, because Cocaine is passé.

― Alba (Alba), Friday, 4 February 2005 23:38 (twenty years ago)

Featuring Tim Burgess.

I'd feel aggrieved if La Rock *wasn't* on here. Its better than him doing an LCD Soundsystem and leaving all the good stuff off.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Friday, 4 February 2005 23:38 (twenty years ago)

B-but the extra free disc.

― Alba (Alba), Friday, 4 February 2005 23:40 (twenty years ago)

To be honest, I think 'Fanfares' is a billion times better than 'La Rock', but maybe I'm just old.

― Alba (Alba), Friday, 4 February 2005 23:41 (twenty years ago)

hmm I think I prefer "La Rock", or certainly the other tracks on the Poney EP.

"La Rock" had a real wow factor to it, for so long. I think that's sort of lost a bit, for me now!

― Ronan (Ronan), Friday, 4 February 2005 23:43 (twenty years ago)

there is a vocal mix of La Rock 01 coming out on Defected

this is the scariest thing i've heard all year.

and alba. get a zimmer.

― stirmonster, Friday, 4 February 2005 23:44 (twenty years ago)

Can I just borrow yours for a while, see how it feels?

― Alba (Alba), Friday, 4 February 2005 23:45 (twenty years ago)

alba dancing with a zimmer is worth a look.

― jed_ (jed), Friday, 4 February 2005 23:47 (twenty years ago)

haha thank god it's not true!

on another board, someone posted about the vocal version of "Strings Of Life" and I said "the chorus is 'strings of life, oh i can't get enough of those wonderful strings of life, oh yeah, those strings are full of life"

I came back later and people were like "that's fucking typical, what rubbish lyrics".

― Ronan (Ronan), Friday, 4 February 2005 23:47 (twenty years ago)

i'd fall over without it.

xx post

― stirmonster, Friday, 4 February 2005 23:48 (twenty years ago)

ach i promised to keep that a secret... xp

― jed_ (jed), Friday, 4 February 2005 23:48 (twenty years ago)

ha ha ronan! i wish those were the lyrics to 'strings of life'.

― stirmonster, Friday, 4 February 2005 23:50 (twenty years ago)

Stannahs number one and two.

Ronan - plz provide link to that board.

― Alba (Alba), Friday, 4 February 2005 23:50 (twenty years ago)

those lyrics are great!

― jed_ (jed), Friday, 4 February 2005 23:51 (twenty years ago)

www.bodytonicmusic.com/forum

the thread is from August or September I think.

x-post I am currently working on lyrics for Jaguar/Star Dancer, so far I was thinking a chorus of "Jaguar, Jaguar, Jaguar, Jaguar" and for Star Dancer perhaps I could personalise things more, who is the "Star Dancer"? What is he really like????

― jed_ (jed), Friday, 4 February 2005 23:57 (twenty years ago)

just looking at the track listing makes me mildly ecstatic.

I don't care how old La Rock or anything else is: just going by the stuff I've heard this is maybe the best album of my life. And Matt, wtf re: Wooo being a rubbish organ thing?! It's so much fun!

Also, Björk remix OMG WOO &c!

― The Lex (The Lex), Saturday, 5 February 2005 00:34 (twenty years ago)

I love the rubbish organ thing, it reminds me of the weirder moments on Discovery eg. the prog synths. Also what an odd way to "go schaffel"

― Tim Finney (Tim Finney), Monday, 7 February 2005 18:42 (twenty years ago)

I'm just psyched to hear a proper CD of La Rock as I've only been able to hear it on .mp3 lo these many many months (years even!).

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Monday, 7 February 2005 18:46 (twenty years ago)

"polkamatic"??? i guess i'll cut the brotha a break. he's not of this world.

i hope "the past" is completely slamming thing like 139 bpms with a big wistful melancholy breakdown that snaps out of itself and back into the shit. actually i guess i just described "absolut."

― andrew m. (andrewmorgan), Monday, 7 February 2005 18:57 (twenty years ago)

hi, i am very excited about this album from vitalic. also polka is usually great so 'polkamatic' should be cool.

It's so that Pitchfork will have already gone through their usual denial-is-followed-by-acceptance dance. Somewhere Basement Jaxx are kicking themselves.

Just saw this quote from an interview on another forum:

"After the making of the Poney EP and La Rock 01 I was completely down. I felt lonely, had no inspiration and sought refuge in cocaine and alcohol. I used drugs to forget those tracks. The songs had become so popular that I got paralysed and was unable to make music anymore. My mother and my family really saved my life by sending me to a clicic. Now I am able again to make music, but it will never be as good as the Poney EP."

I bought my copy at JB about a month ago, they had several there.

― Mil (Mil), Sunday, 12 June 2005 22:06 (twenty years ago)

the björk remix really is fantastic...

― tricky (disco stu), Sunday, 12 June 2005 22:44 (twenty years ago)

I really hate to admit this but he is right. :( All those new tracks on OK Cowboy start off amazing and then go nowhere.

― Omar (Omar), Monday, 13 June 2005 06:37 (twenty years ago)

i like getting lost in music

― willem (willem), Monday, 13 June 2005 08:08 (twenty years ago)

I still don't really like the "Who Is It" remix a lot (now I've heard it in full). It's interesting how he's re-arranged parts of the vocals to sit in a more dance-friendly way on the back, mostly by spacing the lines out between bars. I'm not completely convinced that some very small parts haven't been re-sung for this either.

But (for me) the results aren't very comfortable, or that exciting. I mean, compare with that Soft Pink Truth mix from a while back of "It's In Our Hands", it just spanks this one.

― fandango (fandango), Sunday, 26 June 2005 15:07 (nineteen years ago)

I can't believe he said that either, but at the mo he's kinda right about at least half the album. That said, I do like the new remixes - they're fun. Not as much fun as 'Dario', which is possibly the most fun-filled tune of the year yet.

― Negativa, True Believer (Sheryl Crow in a Britney costume) (Barima), Sunday, 26 June 2005 15:40 (nineteen years ago)

the who is it remix is a killer!! you should have seen 200 people go off to it on friday!!

― s1ocki (slutsky), Sunday, 26 June 2005 16:07 (nineteen years ago)

I would love to hear it out.

More Vitalic plz.

Anyone any idea what he's been up to? Apart from that live album which I haven't heard. It's been fun reading people's reactions on hearing OK Cowboy for the first time. I have it on now for the first time in at least a year and it still sounds fantastic.

― Chris in Belfast, Monday, 20 April 2009 12:31 (sixteen years ago)

yeah a new vitalic album would be right up my allley. i clicked on this thread hoping there was some news of some new stuff, but alas, no sale. why do musicians take so damn long to make music nowadays?? ok cowboy was absolutely fucking awesome.
