Dave's not here man!

don't forget that phantom slasher=idjuts too

imho that book really lets down the 40k franchise by focusing on inquisitors instead of space marines

before we decide which is better we need to list their similarities

1) both have beards

2) both are fat

3) both keep making their shit slower, weirder and more echo-y

the use of echo in idjut boys edits & remixes is really annoying imo

but, i voted for them anyway.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

― moonship journey to baja"

i'm not sure that's really the case with theo. how do "chemistry" and "love triumphant" fit in with that? or really anything off the last album which features some of his fastest tracks? he gets the obvious vote me.

maybe i should have said that both are known for making shit that is slow, weird, echoey and heavy

either which way, it is interesting to compare them as to me, the idjut boys are one of the examples of an artist whom i should like on paper, but when it comes to their music i am always disappointed. i don't own a single record by them to the best of my knowledge, and there are none on my wants list. harvey is like that too for me, there's just something missing from the equation....

I agree with the comment about the Idjuts overuse of echo in some of their tracks but they've done some lovely stuff, namely 'Jazz Fook' and their remix of Plus ('Triple Journey').

i wouldn't say they've overused echo, but it's certainly a big part of their sound and they've certainly done their share to popularize the idea of "dubby disco"

pipecock if you don't even like the idjut boys to begin with then you probably don't have much to add to this thread. thanks for letting me know how many records of theirs aren't in your collection and how many aren't on your wantlist, it really makes your unique point of view that much more vivid and interesting.

and to think i tried to not be a dick in my post. boy that sure was a waste of time. fuck you.

i guess you can't help yourself?

no, you can't help yourself, you dumb motherfucker.

id vahids so dumb hes... so dumb hes... help me out with this one pipecock, whats the word im looking for...

so what if i got on the techno 2009 thread and was like "uh, yeah, i prefer move d to lerosa because i find lerosa mysteriously unengaging though i have no plans of explaining myself BTW i have no lerosa records nor do i plan to"

bump, set, LMFAO

oh sorry guize i banned him from the thread so these important ???s will have to be rhetorical for a bit

u cant censor the truth jergins

here's to trying!

idddddjutssssss for me, the thick echo-y grooves are much more to my taste. what's that one of theirs that samples the 'spank' bassline? awesome.

also their bohannon edit off that pastrami man 12" is pretty epic, would put on a par with any of the ugly edits.

I guess my trouble with idjuts is that they seem pretty inconsistent and also that I remember them mostly from the 90s when they were tediously lumped in with Xpress 2 and Ashley Beedle who I always found lacklustre. Lots of people with good taste rate them so I'd love to see a list of must-hears but for now it has to be Theo.

Glasgow Underground - Stella Sunday (Idjut Boys Sarbeni Remix) (10:36)

^^^^ i played that remix over and over. def. the tune that made me love the idjuts. also the U-Star Daze/More Or Less mix & compilation got heavy rotation when they came out. (pretty sure i had the More or Less thing first but somehow i've ended up with both)

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

1000% otm!

idjuts 4 eva.

much closer than i was expecting!

t/s: was expecting vs had expected

well now just for shits & giggles my buddy and i got together and decided to throw down the most ridiculous idjuts / parrish derivative mix we could. but we don't have any effects boxes so we couldn't really do any echo or anything like that so today it seems sorta lacking, but there's lots of obnoxious leaning on the crossover and lots of cheap knob gags.

should i post it? i don't want to post it to the "djs post your mixes" thread since i'm not a DJ and it's full of trainwrecks and obnoxiously loud levels.

i was thinking of starting a "post a fake idjut boys / theo parrish style mixtape" ... what say you

pretty sure this is better than both of these dudes

what is recommended listening for idjut boys keeping in mind that i've only heard the fistful of ferrets mix and didn't like it

i got pissed with the idjut boys about 5 years ago when i hadnt a clue who they were. I cant imagine the same going down with theo

because you know what he looks like?

Eman- try the Press Play mix on Tirk or the Gruble edits comp (as Phantom Slasher).

ok thx. guess i could look here too idjut boys: s/d

http://www.juno.co.uk/ppps/products/330766-01.htm

not sure if id recommend it, but its definitely different from fistful of ferrets.

the ferrets mix def. has that annoying use of echo problem mentioned upthread

Droid was too intense for me (think there's a Droid 2 now also)

recommended listening I'd say Phantom Slasher edits and their remix of the Emperor Machine (Front Man - Idjuts Girthius Maximus Mix) <-- pretty echoey though. major echo.

i like this one a lot, hellllllla echo but sounds great:
http://www.discogs.com/Phantom-Slasher-Key-To-The-Tripod/release/1477801

some of the edits on the cd have been released on vinyl under different titles:
http://www.discogs.com/Phantom-Slasher-Blow-Me-Slow-Woman/release/1257341
http://www.discogs.com/Phantom-Slasher-Nicoteen/release/1332839
http://www.discogs.com/Phantom-Slasher-Skullvolley-Tent-Pole/release/1470790

huh didn't know they had a track on the dj pica pica pica

dmr, no love for me over on the Leandro Music Journal thread asking for more Idjuts? oof.

i"ve only got the vinyls mang!

I'll try to rip Front Man soon

if you have any ugly edits that would be much appreciated too

phil collins edit, that's pretty much the best thing they have done but they also have an edit of a nick chacona track "band practice" i like... i do love the phantom slasher edits though, nicoteen in particular

it'd be nice if there existed a decent rip of that phil collins edit, all i can find is a truly piss-poor quality mp3. and these things seldom bother me

Dirty Soundsystem posted a pretty decent quality VBR mp3 a few days ago:
http://www.alainfinkielkrautrock.com/2009/03/la-fete.html

It's ripped from vinyl so it's not perfect, but it's definitely listenable.

btw i own a copy of that dark heresy book
