I am excited for no other reason than a group I had actually heard of got mentioned here! But we're talking about "The NEW Cars". Go back to the 80's, old man.

YASNY Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 QUOTE(Rex Kickass @ Apr 24, 2006 -> 11:55 PM) I hate the name though. Why not just the SUVs? Or Luxury Sedans? The New Cars? Awful. In other news, I have determined my favorite moment in British 90s hard rock. 4st7lb by Manic Street Preachers. Its just so raw and painful and beautiful. It's how I felt in love with the band and definitely their finest moment of turning away from the Arena/CockRock hybrid that they had flirted with in their first two albums. There were definite hints of greatness before Theholybible came out - mostly "La Tristessa Durera (Scream to a Sigh)" and their cover of Suicide Is Painless. But 4st7lb is pure genius. 4REAL. Everybody loves the smell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was a bit disappointed to be honest. Thought the non-dance tracks (most of them) were a bit formulaic, and not necessarily an original formula--sounded a bit like M83 to me. I'm sure the remix joint is good though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he did a damn good job, i mean isn't this his debut? Plus i think that record label is an up and comer... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I meant the specific sounds were similar to e.g. "Run Into Flowers", specifically the c c c c c c c a a a a a a b b b b type of synth intros, and then the way halfway into the track it kinda goes "balls out" with some crashing drums. I know enough IDM to be a little more specific with my comparisons. I just liked NF's singles better than the album. FWIW I've been following Border Community since their first release and have a pic of James Holden as my pic on last.fm. Speaking of which I'm waiting until I have a bit of cash to put in an order with React Music--his latest double mix cd and Miss Kittin's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I say this cause it was the 3rd M83 comparison i've heard, but i guess i could see it for Run into flowers, but he doesn't have those trudging synths like gonzales uses. My friend interns at warp which is pretty cool, i got advances of broadcast and campfire headphase last year. and secondly...haven't heard any news about this...I'm trying to get some of the albums from Berlins minimal techno...but i'm having trouble becaue my local indie rec store is having trouble ordering them and oink doesn't have that many of them... but cool, i'm still feeling around through electronic stuff but its cool to know someone with more knowledge...keep me informed on good stuff.

"Maybe I'll Catch Fire" is one SOLID disc - I like every song on that record! All three shows at the Metro next week are sold out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBAHO Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 I've been listening to a bit of Wolfmother lately. Not a bad band by any stretch of means.

I've never heard Alkaline Trio. I think Critic may have sent them to me, but I always thought that they were Emo/Modern Pop Punk. No? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
