Hi,
It's Andrew Prinz from Mahogany. Our studio was broken into last night when we were at our show. The following equipment was taken from our studio in Brooklyn between 7PM and 1AM:
* Macintosh G5 w/ MOTU PCI card installed
* Micromoog synthesizer with specific mods
* Akai MPC 2000 sampler with 8 outputs
* Mackie 32*4 mixer
* Audio Technica AT 4060 microphone, no power supply
* Fender P-Bass, cream
* Techtronix 11x17 flatbed image scanner with transparency adapter
* numerous microphones:
*747 audio cr-176 (silver, no brand logo, cr1-76 printed below screen. roll off and pad, 7 pin connector. Very, very few of these are in the us. Part of a stereo pair. No power supply)
*Akg D112
*Ampex (like sm57 w/ 4pin connector)
*Beyer m201
*Beyer m380 (black w/ disney engraving)
*Electrovoice 635a
*MXL v69me (no power supply or accessories)
*Oktava mc012 (w/ pad, omni and cardiod)
*RFT dm 622 (small ruggedly built blue dynamic w/ large tuchel connector)
*Sennheiser md 421 (x2) (1 white w/ small tuchel connector, one black w/white clip and diagonal dent on top of screen)
*Shure sm57 (x2) (1 w/ black tape surrounding base of grill)
Any tips or assistance would be greatly appreciated. This equipment is necessary for the completion of our almost-finished record. "Connectivity!" could be lost forever. A Reward for conviction is offered.
Please contact us at mahogany@simdisc.com.
Thanks,
A.

i hope they get their equipment back. also i hope the people who took it have their entire skin removed bit by bit with pinking shears

Are they insured?

their press kit is fantastic

― electric sound of jim (and why not) (electricsound), Sunday, 26 February 2006 01:44 (nineteen years ago)

My first thought was that Moodymann's gear had gotten stolen, and for a moment I was wonedring if all his samplers were indeed, mahogany brown.

― Jena (JenaP), Sunday, 26 February 2006 02:20 (nineteen years ago)

the album keeps getting moved back but maybe now that there is a cover shot on the darla site it may actually really come out in june.

― DJ Martian (djmartian), Saturday, 19 August 2006 16:49 (nineteen years ago)

wow, the new track sounds fantastic.

― fortunate hazel (f. hazel), Saturday, 19 August 2006 21:00 (nineteen years ago)

it's been moved back like 11 times, i wouldn't count on october though allegedly it has been done for a while.

the pas/cal album has a release date now too, jan. 2007.

― keyth (keyth), Saturday, 19 August 2006 21:49 (nineteen years ago)

now i just need an ema derton release date and i'd be thrilled.

― keyth (keyth), Saturday, 19 August 2006 21:52 (nineteen years ago)

holy fuck, it's crispy ambulance on E.

fantastic. straight on to the "to buy" list.

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Saturday, 19 August 2006 22:27 (nineteen years ago)

I went to get some eggs before going to work and the guy in front of my had a Crispy Ambulance pin on his bag. I commented on it and we started talking. It was Andrew from Mahogany

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Saturday, 19 August 2006 23:47 (nineteen years ago)

Via Autopia Music Mahogany reveal "Supervitesse" video to download.

On this track, also produced by Robin Guthrie!, you can really hear the New Order influence mingling with Slowdive. Connectivity! is available for pre-order through Darla records but the release date has been set to mid-October with an Ulrich Shnauss remix coming soon for 'Supervitesse'.

― DJ Martian (djmartian), Wednesday, 23 August 2006 13:25 (nineteen years ago)

what a lovely video! the couple in it remind me of shoestrings. oh, this song is so great... i can't wait until october!

― fortunate hazel (f. hazel), Wednesday, 23 August 2006 19:19 (nineteen years ago)

Nice -- I always half wondered what happened to them.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 23 August 2006 19:29 (nineteen years ago)

the supervitesse video is wonderful. the song gives me chills. the broadcast comparisons are utterly misguided

― electric sound of jim [and why not] (electricsound), Wednesday, 23 August 2006 23:11 (nineteen years ago)

well, i can see why someone would think of broadcast hearing this, but to me they're miles apart. i hear OMD more than anything.

― fortunate hazel (f. hazel), Thursday, 24 August 2006 02:57 (nineteen years ago)

yair OMD. man i wish i knew how andrew prinz got the bass to sound that way. tape op needs to interview this guy asap

― electric sound of jim [and why not] (electricsound), Thursday, 24 August 2006 03:01 (nineteen years ago)

OMD? maybe slightly. i hear a LOT of crispy ambulance, tho.

either way, i like.

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Thursday, 24 August 2006 07:24 (nineteen years ago)

yeah, you're right. i bet inspiral carpets like crispy ambulance too.

― fortunate hazel (f. hazel), Thursday, 24 August 2006 08:04 (nineteen years ago)

the album is fabulous. lucy belle guthrie sounds a lot like her mother.

― keyth (keyth), Monday, 9 October 2006 00:49 (nineteen years ago)

ooh my copy should be turning up in the mail this week!!!

― electric sound of jim [and why not] (electricsound), Monday, 9 October 2006 01:00 (nineteen years ago)

you will not be disappointed. i don't think. it's more pop than i thought it might be. danceable even. of course it sounds fantastic. he should produce every record by every band planning to make a record from now until he dies.

― keyth (keyth), Monday, 9 October 2006 01:50 (nineteen years ago)

awesome

― electric sound of jim [and why not] (electricsound), Monday, 9 October 2006 02:09 (nineteen years ago)

OH MAN! i've been waiting for this since 2001. the first album was the soundtrack to my grade 12. "supervitesse' is lovely.

― derrick (derrick), Monday, 9 October 2006 05:56 (nineteen years ago)

this record is incredible

― electric sound of jim [and why not] (electricsound), Friday, 13 October 2006 07:39 (nineteen years ago)

big call time: this is the best thing robin guthrie has ever been involved in.

record of the year, no contest

― electric sound of jim [and why not] (electricsound), Monday, 16 October 2006 23:40 (nineteen years ago)

Feller who wrote me the other day says their recent show he caught was utterly great.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 16 October 2006 23:41 (nineteen years ago)

robin guthrie should ditch violet indiana and make records with his daughter.

― keyth (keyth), Tuesday, 17 October 2006 01:12 (nineteen years ago)

jim what other musics do you like? so i know if i should trust you

okay sounds good

jim is right, it is album of the year.

― keyth (keyth), Tuesday, 17 October 2006 01:52 (nineteen years ago)

The band let me post "Supervitesse" on my blog -- you can find it via HypeMachine. Although the link might be dead by now. If it is I'll repost tonight.

why is this band not enormous yet?

― electric sound of jim [and why not] (electricsound), Friday, 17 November 2006 02:28 (nineteen years ago)

my bed is my castle = whoaaa

― electric sound of jim [and why not] (electricsound), Friday, 17 November 2006 02:29 (nineteen years ago)

I'm guessing it is because cause they are on Darla.

― svend (svend), Friday, 17 November 2006 02:33 (nineteen years ago)

altho that doesn't explain why MMJ seemed so popular when they were on darla

― electric sound of jim [and why not] (electricsound), Friday, 17 November 2006 02:43 (nineteen years ago)

Anyone familiar with the Memory Column comp?? Its the only one I've come across in stores and I wondered if its worth purchasing. I guess I don't like the idea of the first record I own by a band being a collection of rarities. Perhaps the "early works" are some of their best??

― Sir Echo (Sir Echo), Friday, 17 November 2006 02:57 (nineteen years ago)

well, ok - the compilation is excellent.. not a dud tune. "wagons-lits" and "sophie taueber arp" being two highlights.

however the new album is better.

― electric sound of jim [and why not] (electricsound), Friday, 17 November 2006 03:05 (nineteen years ago)

six months pass...

I'm finally getting round to listening to *all* of Connectivity! (instead of just all the guthrie remixes) and hey, this album is Just Fucking Great. Jim you can punch me now for not listening to this sooner.

― Trayce, Friday, 18 May 2007 01:54 (eighteen years ago)

'mantissa' is the one that popped out at me about a month ago. oddly, the rest of the album has not broken though yet, aside from 'supervitesse'.

there are some incredible songs on the 'memory column' comp, esp. 'lynn minmay'. i'm somewhat sad that they've left that airier sound behind.

― derrrick, Friday, 18 May 2007 06:16 (eighteen years ago)

I loved "Domino Ladder Beta" but man this is really grabbing me. Even the cheesier pop like "Neo plastic boogie-woogie" has a certain Beach Boys style shimmery charm. "One Plus One equals Three or More" is awesome. Damn I love this album.

― Trayce, Friday, 18 May 2007 10:18 (eighteen years ago)

I've not heard them on record, but they were immense when I saw them in London a few weeks ago (Water Rats, after the Bloc Party tour). 4 guitars, 2 basses. Loud. Looking forward to hearing the record.

― Bocken Social Scene, Friday, 18 May 2007 10:56 (eighteen years ago)

Ooh they'd be ace to see live.

Mahogany sounding great live [Sounding similar to early Cocteau Twins and Lowlife]

Connectivity is great!! The band often gets slapped with the Factory revivalist tag, and I can see that a bit, but they have something most of those bands don't, a good rhythm section. The drum and bass sounds on this record are very fine indeed.

― leavethecapital, Wednesday, 4 July 2007 22:54 (eighteen years ago)

Not a bad live clip that! Good clean sound. Female singer's a bit off in her chorus though :/

has anybody heard anything from 'electric prisms' yet??

― mr bollock apple (electricsound), Tuesday, 5 January 2010 00:48 (sixteen years ago)

electric prisms is out in "the spring" sometime, but i noted this tidbit too:

The long-awaited third full-length MAHOGANY album 'Frontiering' sees light in Fall 2010, with US and international tour dates.

woo

― alcohol-fuelled love (electricsound), Wednesday, 20 January 2010 22:58 (sixteen years ago)

really got to spend more time with this band (rediscovered Supervitesse the other day)

― mdskltr (blueski), Thursday, 21 January 2010 00:11 (sixteen years ago)

last album was continually pushed out by months and months, i would guess fall 2010 is optimistic.

― keythkeythkeyth, Thursday, 21 January 2010 03:39 (sixteen years ago)

they did have that theft incident tho

can u share what the deal w/this is?

― call all destroyer, Thursday, 2 June 2011 02:31 (fourteen years ago)

allegedly there were issues with unpaid royalties from their former label and disputes over release of (still unreleased) material. then they got 'dumped'/released from their contract. not sure if it's still up but there was some public airing of grievances on FB

― private parts & labia (electricsound), Thursday, 2 June 2011 02:39 (fourteen years ago)

feel like i've heard other bad things about darla; also their distribution in the states fucking blows

'night time in silk city' is quite something. so so good to hear something new, finally.

― dogs in hot cardies (electricsound), Tuesday, 15 November 2011 03:48 (fourteen years ago)

has anybody heard anything from 'electric prisms' yet??

― mr bollock apple (electricsound), Tuesday, January 5, 2010

i can finally say YES

― dogs in hot cardies (electricsound), Tuesday, 15 November 2011 03:50 (fourteen years ago)

so'd they release a single or what?

― the girl from spirea x (f. hazel), Tuesday, 15 November 2011 04:04 (fourteen years ago)

not yet. but they played the track on some radio show thing http://www.viva-radio.com/index.php?contributor=131

you gotta sit through an hour of radio show to hear it but after 5 years it was a small sacrifice for me

― dogs in hot cardies (electricsound), Tuesday, 15 November 2011 04:15 (fourteen years ago)

I can totally do that at work tomorrow!

sounding v eric matthews in this one

http://youtu.be/0sJKRw20iKo

the drums are a bit jarring at times

― ‎~=(,,_,,):3 (electricsound), Monday, 27 February 2012 22:22 (thirteen years ago)

Yeah, took me a few measures to figure out what the drums were doing, but I like it!

― Johnny Fever, Monday, 27 February 2012 22:32 (thirteen years ago)

that's a bit strange. i like it too. maybe a bit west coast pop art experimental band?

― keythhtyek, Tuesday, 28 February 2012 03:20 (thirteen years ago)

that and 'silk city' are both awkward but interesting and enjoyable, this is pretty clearly not going to be connectivity v2

― ‎~=(,,_,,):3 (electricsound), Tuesday, 28 February 2012 03:35 (thirteen years ago)

is an album imminent? i know with them we must speak in epochs rather than months or years.

― keythhtyek, Tuesday, 28 February 2012 03:39 (thirteen years ago)

i wouldn't be surprised if it was in the can - afaiu 'electric prisms' has been done in one form or another for a couple of years.

― ‎~=(,,_,,):3 (electricsound), Tuesday, 28 February 2012 03:43 (thirteen years ago)

presumably the whole kerfluffle with darla set back the release of electric prisms by some number of months.

After years of occasionally listening to them and finding them pleasant enough, I've recently locked into a weird groove where I've been going through their entire discography like once or twice a week and wondering how I failed to really hear them before. I think they're becoming one of my favorite bands ever, maybe.
