wooah. just watched tekkon kinkreet. the soundtrack was amazing. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i assume you ment you watched the movie? yeah its really goon anime did you catch the xtras, plaid interview :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
did you catch the interview? : - ) i must say they seem like a couple of very nice guys..i'd expect them to be a bit more umm, 'warply arrogant' or something, but they're quite the contrary..very pleasant and modest. if anyone is in terested in what they said i can get you an mp3 some time..i don't have it with me atm. not that i asked anything you haven't heard before hehe..but still..they're working on couple of things so it may be interesting for the fans i guess : ) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hit me up YO! thad1us@yahoo.com how did you get the chance to interview them? thats pretty cool |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i may go down to the station tonight before the gig and get the mp3 and i'll upload it to sendspace or something and post the link here if anyone else wants to check it out. well, it's what i've been doing lately..interviews are a part of the 'job', and it's a pretty cool radio station that covers all sorts of alternative music so we usually do interviews with anyone relevant or interesting.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
please man, that'd be great. public upload? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
by the way, if you have some interviews with some other great artists you want to share, that'd be fun |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, i'll post a link after i get back from the gig..which should be in about 6 hours..it's only 20 minutes though as they got here really late so we didn't have time to record more for that show i said it would go on air next thursday..the show still goes on but no interview for it im affraid. i wish we had time though, there's plenty of stuff i wanted to ask them..oh well |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i don't have recordings of any interviews i made so far im affraid, but i'll be saving them in the future and post them here if i'll think it may be interesting for any of you.. |

recorded about 8 hours ago..it was supposed to revolve around the greedy baby as a sort of promotion, but there's some other stuff too..however only 20 minutes as there was no time for more.. gonna write a thing or two about the gig in a minute or two..it was pretty great..some songs specifically..kinda really great ones : ) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
so the gig was great dispite some technical problems..bob couldn't come along this time and they had problems with getting video on screen..but im not that into this whoole video thing though i would have loved it if they played some certain repetitive songs with the same video sequence for hours..music wasn't anything like stuff on tekkon or greedy baby and im pretty sure i haven't heard it before so i reckon it was some new material..they said they may play some new stuff..there was hardly any melodic lines, just straight sort acid sounding techno..very trance like..the mine line sounded like digerido and then there was acidy pattern going over it and pretty straigh rhythm..very repetitive structure but it was sort of building up..definitelly the highlight for me. there were some other excellent tracks based almost entirely on complex rhythms with some subtle melodies, but not in their usual way..or at least not anything like i've heard from them. so i hope they put out an album of this sort of pure rhytmic music..i bet their threads here would get over 200 replies then haha. the one thing i was disappointed about gig wise was that there wasn't any transition..they basically played tracks piece by piece..maybe that was due to bob not being there and they not be able to control the mixing of the videos so i can understand there. still an excellent gig though, i prefered it to that other time i saw them..and all because of those few splendid tracks : ) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
downloading the mp3. cheers. that live stuff sounds awesome! bring on the crazy rhythmic acid musics! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
thats awesome tolstoyed, im dl the interview now and will listen to it soon any pics of the show- |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
although, the interview was slightly amusing, if not a bit rude.. "maybe you started doing video because you felt you didnt have too much to say through music anymore" hahah, wow :P |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no, sorry...kinda hate this frowing 'cameras at gigs' thing..but there was a moment i wished i brought it along so i could record some of those awesome tracks..well and some visuals : ) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i kinda put that badly yeah..i started it and didn't know how to turn it around and there was no time to edit it so i just had to say it haha..they were cool about it though.. ed apologised for being sort of tired as we recorded it the same minute they came in the city : ) u tell you, they're a couple of very pleasant blokes :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
and anyhow, they proved me wrong with the shoe :D |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
show* damnit |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
perhaps a bit rude, but i think it broke the ice. you've got a couple of interesting answers there. especially the part where they commented their own work. that they always try to be original but somehow end up in a similar spot. it was good to hear their version. can't wait for their new work. too bad we'll have to wait till 'summer 09'-ish. are there any live-sets floating about? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it's what i really like about them. they talk just about anything completly openly..they've got nothing to hide, it is what it is..they're not making sience of something that isn't there.. same goes for thwir live act..they said they could as well just press 'play' and computer would do all the work but it's all about the show..they're not full of bullshit unlike lots of other people. also, i've only started doing interviews recently, i've maybe done 5 interviews in english alltogether by now so hopefully i'll get better eventually : ) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh, and i thought they said they aidio album should be out next year towards the summer, no? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes, you're right. i thought i was already living in 08 :s |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes, and what helps is that they haven't got their heads up their own arses. they seem to be the kind of guys you could talk to about any subject. politics, economy, music, art, whatever. i don't think many others in the field got some interesting things to say about anything besides their own work. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Great interview! I especially liked what they were saying at the end about atnonal harmony and the need for people to more open to different musical forms. And ending world poverty as an "art piece". Couldn't agree more. I'm surprised at how self depreciative they are, though. I don't personally see how anyone could find their last couple of albums monotonous at all, but maybe that's just me. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it indeed seems thry could talk about anything..more interesting things than i have asked, but the thing with radio is it should be informative for people who don't know the artist..it's really more about the promotion for the gig itself, that's why i was asking about the greedy baby and tekkon and visuals so much..and also, it's a different thing if you have time to do interview properly..talk it out and then edit it, but the thing is most artist come into town right before the gig takes place and there's basically no time to do it properly as the interview must go on air before the gig..i wish i could do interviews for magazines.. |

tolstoyed for moderator status |

Nice interview tolstoyed, good to know that there probably will be another score :) Why not put some background music on it the next time? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well, as you can hear this wasn't recorded in a studio, so the background music is added when it goes on air..i think i picked some song off the greedy baby. btw, is that sort of repetitive, unmelodic rhythm based music anything you've heard by them before? i haven't heard all their records and if that's something similar to what they might have put out can you please let me know, as im doing a one and a half hour show on them next week and i'd love to play that music too : ) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the stuff that comes most close to what you describe is their work with mark broom under the repeats alias. other than that, beats me. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
where the heck am i going to find that by thursday : ) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Which Plaid records do you have? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
btw, i know this is bad, but i only have the main albums + dialp and p-brane, (both) black dog albums and those artifical inteligence compilations. so i was wondering, aesthetics, i know you are a big fan, if it's possible you could pick out some more obscure (preferably less melodic to their usual thing) tracks that aren't on those albums / eps i have, and you know, rip them to mp3s and send them over? :D if you don't have time for this (should be 5 tracks tops as i need to fit in all their major work as well ofcourse) or if you would feel bad about sharing their music in this way i'll understand : ) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Great interview! Short but that's OK. Really glad to hear about new projects, especially a proper album release on the horizon... AND possibly a soundtrack? cool. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
they seem pretty busy yeah..it seems that dvd project didn't suck out all their energy : ) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
if you're on what i can up the repeat-album |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|

||||||||
|

|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
are any of those on trainer album? if not, then i don't have them.. godel, not sure what you mean, but i can't use slsk at the current time. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
btw, im writing a review of the gig atm..is it only my imagination or is their set usually one continious set of music..i mean, it's not normal they'd play a track, stop, play another, stop etc..right? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
anything, android and link are on trainer |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i see..i have those then..must say it's probably my fav album of theirs..appart from those early black dog albums |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
