I just downloaded Geogaddi last night and I fell in lurve with it, which of course obviously meant that somebody would start slagging them on ILM as is the rule with stuff I recently have discovered (see also Interpol). I can only assume that "better than Boards of Canada" means "really really fucking grebt" as opposed to "really fucking grebt".

I find the lurve wears off (but don't listen to me)

After a brief listen I am under the impression that Concentrick are not grebt -- "really", "fucking" or otherwise. Sorry.

why do so many ilm threads lately read like their posters are looking for some kind of cosmic cookie?

Because we're writing like people talk! It's the new amazing wave of casual conversational whimsy disguised as discourse!
I wanna get some of that cosmic cookie action if it's got white chocolate and macadamia nuts.

well, maybe not TRULY "grebt" but refreshing in that they do the Open University soundtrack without chickenshit recourse/retreat to goatee beard headnodding mid90s "triphop" / "ambient" / technopolitik bullshit, yeh man, roll me a fat one . just like i could say PLONE do it better but i wouldn't be sure if i meant it. Sure - the boards have their moments (orange romeda offa the warp compilation - GORGEOUS!!!) but they ain't never going to beat vangelis heaven & hell, now are they? ;-)

Just wanted to say thanks for this thread -- I tossed all my BoC in the garbage & now have some Concentrick on the way...appreciate the tip.

yeah how dare you have an opinion. yr right about oren ambarchi anyways. isn't hstencil drumm's chum?

― bob zemko (bob), Monday, 21 October 2002 16:43 (twenty-three years ago)

wot you think of pimmon?

― bob zemko (bob), Monday, 21 October 2002 16:44 (twenty-three years ago)

isn't hstencil drumm's chum?

We're friendly but now live in different cities. Irregardless of that, tho, his stuff is amazing and I'd think the same even if I wasn't friendly with him (thought that way before I met him, actually).

Pimmon's pretty good, I like the few things I have. Haven't gotten anything recent.

On a whole 'nother tip: I got To Live and Shave in L.A.'s The Wigmaker... double CD this weekend, and it's one of the most phenomenally fucked things I've ever heard. Probably will take a few good years just to process it. Highly recommended.

i have to say again i was disappointed with what i heard of pimmon (about 2 cds worth) nice atmospheres, yes, but he'll just string them out for 10 mins apiece w/ no development. TLASILA's WIGMAKER is the bomb! and wussy wussy you if you don't like concentrick and i hurt someone's feelings cos boards of canada feel their pain. i could toss off a boards track in my fuckin sleep. get a machine and do it yoreself - there's no need for this weepy fucken hero worship. they sequence tunes - they've got a recipe for it - get over it!

I still haven't heard concentrick but it's one of those things on the "to hear" list.

― hstencil, Tuesday, 22 October 2002 12:58 (twenty-three years ago)

schlammpeitziger are good too

― gareth (gareth), Tuesday, 22 October 2002 13:16 (twenty-three years ago)

actually - i've changed my mind now. not that i like the boards that much, still...
