Plodding, saccharine, dissonant. Why does everyone like this track so much?

― hipster lemming, Sunday, 5 February 2006 20:05 (nineteen years ago)

"saccharine, dissonant"

uhhh

― james van der beek (dubplatestyle), Sunday, 5 February 2006 20:08 (nineteen years ago)

at least it's not reggaeton

― vahid (vahid), Sunday, 5 February 2006 20:09 (nineteen years ago)

I like it.

― Ronan (Ronan), Sunday, 5 February 2006 20:40 (nineteen years ago)

me too

― Jacobs (LolVStein), Sunday, 5 February 2006 20:41 (nineteen years ago)

thumbs up

― mark p (Mark P), Sunday, 5 February 2006 20:52 (nineteen years ago)

(admittedly it is a little... nettwerk in-house remix-y tho)

― mark p (Mark P), Sunday, 5 February 2006 20:52 (nineteen years ago)

i like it.
its one of the few tracks "from my world" that other djs in dc seem to know about.

dc=shorthand for 1. where i live 2. a hegemonic fetishization of deep house, vocal garage, rare groove, downtempo.

dissonant??

It may well be overrated right now, and more light, slightly nostalgic relief in a set than a psychedelic journey or anything, but it's still a nice track.

― fandango (fandango), Sunday, 5 February 2006 20:59 (nineteen years ago)

Lindstrom, and Prins Thomas, are obviously NOT going for club bangers, not necessarily. That's what I admire about their production actually: it feels like they are in it for the music. Wow! It feels like, hey, if it's a slower dubby, psychedelic electro track that lasts ten minutes ... fuck it. It's not for everyone, I don' think. To me, it seems like it's for fans of Unidisc and TSR. Maybe even Yes.

psychedelic/prog/electro/disco ... *sigh* ... they're so dreamy.

― Cameron Octigan (Cameron Octigan), Sunday, 5 February 2006 21:41 (nineteen years ago)

who are Unidisc and TSR, I might like it?

― Jacobs (LolVStein), Sunday, 5 February 2006 21:44 (nineteen years ago)

Unidisc and TSR are record labels.

Unidisc - Canadian, I think. They released a bunch of electro/italo records, and they were the Canadian press for Emergency Records (NY).

TSR - Italo label. All the way.

so dreamy ;) ;) ;)

― Yawn (Wintermute), Sunday, 5 February 2006 22:01 (nineteen years ago)

Unidisc is a monster company who went around during the 80s and 90s buying the catalogs of everyone they could get and rumor has it not so quick to license out, then they repackage all the stuff in these very bland and often odd reissues, with 2 hits by the same artist or stuff that's vaguely similar latched onto each other.

― Dan Selzer (Dan Selzer), Sunday, 5 February 2006 22:17 (nineteen years ago)

of course, they're still in print and easier to find then the originals, so I own stacks of them.

― Dan Selzer (Dan Selzer), Sunday, 5 February 2006 22:24 (nineteen years ago)

oh, then I probably have heard most of that music, but not as reissues.

― Jacobs (LolVStein), Sunday, 5 February 2006 22:26 (nineteen years ago)

Wow, I just looked on discogs at Unidisc, I own a lot of those, I feel dumb.
Hey dan can you help me out with my sleaze disco thread?

― Jacobs (LolVStein), Sunday, 5 February 2006 22:29 (nineteen years ago)

the parasitic nature of Unidisc aside, they have provided easy access to otherwise impossible to find records. for that, i am grateful.

but ... TSR is good, and you should still them out! they put out like Lime, Fun Fun, Lady D and some other things.

― Cameron Octigan (Cameron Octigan), Sunday, 5 February 2006 22:30 (nineteen years ago)

i like it ok. it cannot be dissonant, can it?

― Susan Douglas (Susan Douglas), Sunday, 5 February 2006 22:46 (nineteen years ago)

If it is dissonant I've been misusing the word for a long time now.

― fandango (fandango), Sunday, 5 February 2006 22:49 (nineteen years ago)

I find Sufjan Stevens dissonant.

― Michael F Gill (Michael F Gill), Sunday, 5 February 2006 23:42 (nineteen years ago)

I've been planning on checking out some of the stuff posted to the sleazy disco thread but couldn't come up with stuff to contribute...I keep thinking of stuff like Walk the Night, but that's really not "seductive" and sultry in the manner that thread is discussing.

― Dan Selzer (Dan Selzer), Monday, 6 February 2006 00:09 (nineteen years ago)

one month passes...

I just realized that the bass pattern is similar to "I Feel Love." That's probably not coincidental, huh?

― jaymc (jaymc), Thursday, 16 March 2006 00:18 (nineteen years ago)

it does sounds a little flat/left leaning to me and never er gets off the ground even though it spirals. maybe no revelation, but i can now see how it might seem "dissonant" in that way. optimo's I Feel Spaceships Crashing remix/mashup? pushes it even more left/down...which might feel better to you...or worse.

― Susan Douglas (Susan Douglas), Thursday, 16 March 2006 00:56 (nineteen years ago)

Everytime I hear this in a different mix I love it a bit more (originally I was... not underwhelmed, but only whelmed maybe). It's one of those tracks that really seems to lift the mood, it's always slightly thrilling when it starts to come on.

― Tim Finney (Tim Finney), Thursday, 16 March 2006 07:35 (nineteen years ago)

its subtle

― Susan Douglas (Susan Douglas), Thursday, 16 March 2006 07:39 (nineteen years ago)

those cymbal crashes as the beats kick in are anything but subtle to me!
but i see the subtlety in the track...

― something less threatening (heywood), Thursday, 16 March 2006 07:56 (nineteen years ago)

i mean the whole thing --there's something gentle about it. and i'm surprised that i like it more than i did initially --doesn't happen with dance tracks too often.

― Susan Douglas (Susan Douglas), Thursday, 16 March 2006 08:02 (nineteen years ago)

there are Tiefschwarz mixes forthcoming

― Ronan (Ronan), Thursday, 16 March 2006 10:53 (nineteen years ago)

im not realy into this tune. are other lindstrom tunes on a similar tip?

― ambrose (ambrose), Thursday, 16 March 2006 11:27 (nineteen years ago)

some of remixes are waaaaaaaay more disco-y. even more of a live drum sound.

― electrogrouse (haitch), Thursday, 16 March 2006 11:36 (nineteen years ago)

some of HIS

― electrogrouse (haitch), Thursday, 16 March 2006 11:37 (nineteen years ago)

there are Tiefschwarz mixes forthcoming

this one is odd as it's credited as 'tomba special space -tiefscwarzturntablerockeredit' and is basically an edit of the bass groove of the track with all the melody taken out. the other remix is by freeform reform and has trancetastic female vocals which could probably take the track into the mainstream. here's an extract

― stirmonster (stirmonster), Thursday, 16 March 2006 12:32 (nineteen years ago)

"I feel space baby oh yeah keep on feeling that space"

― Tim Finney (Tim Finney), Thursday, 16 March 2006 21:41 (nineteen years ago)

"Space, Space, Space, I feel Space, Space, Space. It's a feeling all around you. Don't let it go, don't lose control. Space is not just for Buzz Aldrin. It's a feeling, it's in your soul".

― Ronan (Ronan), Friday, 17 March 2006 08:12 (nineteen years ago)

Now I'm imagining a Real McCoy "cover" of "I Feel Space".

― Tim Finney (Tim Finney), Friday, 17 March 2006 13:47 (nineteen years ago)

horrible!

― something less threatening (heywood), Friday, 17 March 2006 19:10 (nineteen years ago)

jd - is the tiefschwarz any better?

― something less threatening (heywood), Friday, 17 March 2006 21:18 (nineteen years ago)

It's all about the M.a.n.d.y. remix really.

The kids just want to dance, dig?

― M. Biondi (M. Biondi), Sunday, 19 March 2006 01:04 (nineteen years ago)

the m.a.n.d.y. remix is really good.

― lf (lfam), Sunday, 19 March 2006 06:28 (nineteen years ago)

jd - is the tiefschwarz any better?

it's ok if you want to hear it without that melody.

the freeform reform mix is of course actually by freeform five.

for me the m.a.n.d.y remix kind of misses the point and i so wish the rumoured isolee remix had transpired.

― stirmonster (stirmonster), Sunday, 19 March 2006 06:41 (nineteen years ago)

I'm not mad into the m.a.n.d.y. mix really, it's quite boring, unusually.

I think the Tiefschwarz one is pretty good, it's basically a slightly tougher update, though in a way I always like the way "I Feel Space" sounds distinct from electrohouse and yet still fits in, it makes playing it feel like a kind of grand event in the set.

I know Lazarus played the Tiefschwarz one when he played for us and it went down well, lots of people wondering whose it was etc.

― Ronan (Ronan), Sunday, 19 March 2006 16:48 (nineteen years ago)

The new mixes are available from Beatport, btw, @ $2,49 a piece. The Ibizatastic Freeform remix is 11 m 32 s, so that's well worth the money... :-)

― JoB (JoB), Sunday, 19 March 2006 21:11 (nineteen years ago)

i like this now, i didnt before

i wanted to hear it last night

― charltonlido (gareth), Sunday, 19 March 2006 22:08 (nineteen years ago)

one month passes...

I think both the Tief and Freeform5 remixes are much better than the MANDY mix which I agree, kinda missed the point.

These remixes are like polar opposites that work on either side of the original. The Tief mix is raw and stripped down, the Freeform5 mix is even more epic than the original.

It doesn't surprise me that boring trainspotter types wouldn't like the added vocal though. Hooks? Melody? SHIT...run for the hills! Where there are no girls...

i love this song but last week the DJ on before me finished his set with this track and it completely cleared the floor.

― gr8080, Thursday, 7 February 2008 22:37 (seventeen years ago)

too cerebral or what?

― jergïns, Thursday, 7 February 2008 22:54 (seventeen years ago)

cerebral is a codeword for shit

― never acid again, Thursday, 7 February 2008 23:44 (seventeen years ago)

this from a guy who won't take lsd!

― jergïns, Thursday, 7 February 2008 23:47 (seventeen years ago)

amazing track but i don't really like....dancing to it.

― jabba hands, Thursday, 7 February 2008 23:58 (seventeen years ago)

it always sticks out like a bit of a sore thumb in a set i think. kind of stops ppl in their tracks.

― jabba hands, Thursday, 7 February 2008 23:59 (seventeen years ago)

Unless you’re playing a strictly disco set this track only works if you’re setting it to a much heavier 4/4 909 kick. If you do, it kills on the dance floor (or at least it did in ’05).

― Mr. Goodman, Friday, 8 February 2008 04:19 (seventeen years ago)

it's really dependent on context; i think it works great on "body language 1" but yeah i haven't heard it mixed well elsewhere

― winston, Saturday, 9 February 2008 01:14 (seventeen years ago)

this song is the shit

― deej, Saturday, 9 February 2008 01:23 (seventeen years ago)

Reminds me of the original Doctor Who theme, John Carpenter, Vangelis, Moroder...awesome.

― Bodrick III, Saturday, 9 February 2008 01:56 (seventeen years ago)

never liked this song. it cant touch carpenter, moroder, or vangelis, that is craziness.

― pipecock, Saturday, 9 February 2008 04:14 (seventeen years ago)

I've never met a hater of this song who wasn't teh suck.

― Tim F, Saturday, 9 February 2008 04:22 (seventeen years ago)

this is a dope song riffing on another dope song, whats not to like

-- pipecock, Saturday, 9 February 2008 04:14

Course I'm not saying that it's as good as the best work of those artists. But it's a neat summation of the ideas and feel of some of those tracks.

― Bodrick III, Saturday, 9 February 2008 13:23 (seventeen years ago)
