Best 5ive Album/EP

The Telestic Disfracture for me

http://www.stargate.no/images/5ive-album.jpg

I have fond memories of teaching Amber and ALice the dance moves for "Keep on moving", to which Amber (5 then) turned round and said "You can actually do this, can't you?"

(FWIW, I was never in a boyband, alright?)

I thought you meant UK boy band 5ive too. I was momentarily baffled.

Chap were you worried about my sanity and that I had gone over to the light side? ;)

That is a constant worry to me, Herman.

There's a theme park somewhere that has a permanent exhibit where you can play parts of "Let's Dance" by breaking light beams and standing on contact points. The booth is in total darkness apart from disco beams. Might be IOWight, but I don't know.

Mark G, were you ever in a boyband?

Kid 606 vs The Boy Band 5ive split could be amusing I suppose.

New album is great btw.

Hesperus, 5ive’s full-length LP, prods and provokes the
listener to ascend through a modulated mind muddle, in attempts to
exhume the brimming melodic crest slumbering beneath a cyclic miasma
of transformative sound. Ben Carr (Guitars) and Charlie Harrold
(Drums) after seven years of relative anonymity, have graced us again
with both their presence and a picture perfect record, which serves as
a frame worthy summation of the band’s past impressions and conceptual
progression. Produced by Grammy nominee Andrew Schneider (Cave In,
Daughters, Scissorfight), these seven tracks will send you silently
swaying into a somnambulant state and then abandon you still stirring
and stark naked in a roomful of uncomfortable silence.

Track Listing:

1. Gulls (4:09)
2. Big Sea (7:30)
3. Kettle Cove (2:50)
4. Heel (2:08)
5. Polar 78 (7:25)
6. News I (8:31)
7. News II (12:14)

going for the hemophiliac dream cause i only have that and versus. they're really good, though, and i'm lame for not checking out more.

New album is awesome.

Songs are a lot shorter than usual on the new one.

i never bought any of their albums cuz i didn't like their name. i'll buy one someday, i promise.

New one is $10 from Hydrahead

Got it in yesterday's mail but am way too busy listening to technical death metal to bother for the moment. Will get to it by month's end.

It's definitely not technical death metal hehe

really love this group. haven't heard new one, so I'll have to vote for The Telestic Disfracture. glad to hear about the new one!

haha @ their myspace url: "thereal5ive"

:)

New one is shorter songs but you wont be disappointed, fans will love it I'm sure.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

This thread serves to remind me of how great the two that I do have are and that I really should track down all of the ones that I'm missing.

Played the new one this morning, was expecting more drone or spacerock or whatever but was still quite pleased with what I got

New album is terrific, an early contender for album of the year. Chock-full of great riff after riff.

I hope the new album comes out on vinyl soon.

I put the new one into the changer for half an hour this afternoon, but later replaced it when Sioux City Pete & the Beggars came in the mail. I'll get back to it. Have no opinion about their old stuff.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

I should've voted for the EP, just out of principle. (Plus, EPs need all the help they can get.)

New album did well.

Anyone got the 1st album on vinyl for sale at a reasonable price?

Please?

i just picked up hesperus. it's pretty good. seems more "desert-y" or something to me, but it's been a long while since i listened to most of their stuff.

Im still waiting on vinyl, i'll probably still be saying that next time next year

bump just so its next to the boybands thread revive :)
