my BF purchased 'Neon Golden' for me in germany cos it can't be found in the US and let me tell you it's an AMAZING CD! dunno how to describe the music...tis NOT IDM...but it's great....it's also out there on soulseek and i definately recommend d/ling - pilot - this room - consequence to get a taste of it.....enjoy ! =0) |

I saw them on the Werchter festival last month, and I will see them again on pukkelpop, next month. they're good, but I haven't had the chance yet to d/l any of their songs. Do you know Lali Puna? it's a sideproject of one of the guys from the notwist. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no i've not heard of the side project.....good ? any recommendations on something to d/l? ohhhh you're so lucky i heard it from a GOOD source that they are amazing LIVE. *wants to go to the festival too* =0) |

I picked up a couple of Notwist promo EPs not too long ago. Pilot and Pick Up the Phone, not too bad at all. Plus one has a spanky remix by Four Tet and Manitoba. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ohhhhh a REMIX......KOOL i'm gonna look for that on soulseek i hope someone has it. PILOT is the first song i heard and i liked it immediately! guess the genre of music is indie rock? with IDM influences esp on the song -this room |

I don't know Lali Puna enough (yet) to recommend you some songs.-sorry- But they are good as well. Lali Puna also comes to Pukkelpop, and Aphex twin (YEEEES!!!), Lemon Jelly , Jamie Lidell,........ yes, I'm a very lucky boy . |

I was at their concert at Roskilde, and it was great. And Neon Golden is one of my absolute favourites this year... |
||||||||

they are quite popular in europe. they started as a somewhat ordinary rockband but turned into their recent electronic direction when martin gretschmann joined. he's also the guy behind Console ('Rocket in the Pocket' is a great album by him). they are very interesting since they really cross the borders, simply due to their members. |
||||||||

I still haven't picked up neon-golden... but i've heard nothing but good things about it :-) i'll probably get it soon. You should also try to get your hands on their previous album "shrink"! I have that one and love it to death. Or at least download the song 'chemicals". |

saw them in milan the 26th of february, great gig! it's very strange that you can't find this cd in the US, i saw that cd even in a supermarket !! |

I'm a huge Console-fan, but I didn't know that!? Is he the bald knob twibbler? |
||||||||
|

|
|
in the SUPERMARKET??? damn....yes it's true it's backordered on CD now, BN.com, i mean it's ridiculous cos it's not like some OUT there CD. i'm gonna d/l some music off the first CD when soulseek decides to START working for me! i'm very jealous of all you peepz who've seen them live......RASCALS all ya'll =b |

The Notwist is great! I downloaded a whole bunch of mp3's since i read this. Thanks LeCoeur! |

A concert on Norwegian radio right now. Great music, especially for a hangover. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

There's a Notwist side project called 'Console' which is also quite good, more genre IDM, (not really) than Notwist itself. The first (and only I think) album is called 'Rocket in the Pocket', check it out... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Console IS good. I have "Rocket.." and also the first album "Pan or ama" |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah Console is excelent!!! Some Dub elements here and there , i love it. I have to check out Notwist.... |
||||||||

i just d/led 'neon golden' and it is absolutely amazing. it's not something i'd normall dig at all, but i've been listening to it non-stop :) i went out and bought the 'pilot' and 'pick up the phone' ep's on vinyl too. the remixes are ace! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
it's a nice cd. it was quite the indie hit over here, last summer. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

Notwist was EXCELLENT live. they played here in seattle about a month ago at chop suey. it was a great show on all levels. see them if you get the chance. or be stupid. |

i listened to a bit of the new album in the store last week.. it sounded ok.. it seemed somewhat similar to the band hood, though not as good. i didnt realize it was the guy from console.. i like them quite a bit. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you recommended me console :D still listen to 'rocket in the pocket' regularly. thx heard his new one? 'reset the preset' or something? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hehehehe i'm GLAD you d/l'd it, they FINALLY have copies for sale in the US with BONUS tracks so i suggest buying it since you like it so much. i have the european release (my bf purchased it for me in germany) and it doesn't have the BONUS traxx.....waaaaah |
||||||||

Neon Golden is one album I really regret buying (fuck, I thought I knew better than to buy stuff without listening first). There´s something that really isn´t right about that record. . The lyrics are fucking terrible. They´re embarrasing. It seems like they haven´t got anything to say but, hey, when you´ve got a singer you need some lyrics right!? . The singer´s accent doesn´t exactly make them any better. . The fact that he´s a pretty poor singer doesn´t help eighter. . The lyrics and the melodies don´t go together very well. The band just doesn´t seem to have the necessary song-writing skills. The melodies are ok tho. It´s a bit sad ´cause I really like some of it production wise. It´s the same thing with Dntel, I really like the whole concept of mixing pop with electronica, but too often it ends up sounding insincere and like bad imitations of good songs and when that´s the case I´ll rather listen to truly good songs without the fancy electronic production. people seem to like it tho. whatever. |
||||||||

ps. To me, Max Tundra is a brilliant example of pop meeting more experimental music and still managing to sound completely natural. He doesn´t sound much like The Notwist tho. |

"fresh" is a good word to describe 'Neon Golden'. I had it imported shortly after release and listened to it quite a bit for the next 2-3 months.. I can understand what zetre is saying though. There's nothing terribly potent or overwhelming about The Notwist - More of something you'd listen to while entertaining friends or driving to work. Pleasant. |

I just downloaded pick up the phone and I think it's really good, but i downloaded the song "neon golden" and didnt like it nearly as much. I guess this band is probably going to be hit or miss for me. |

*HITZ YOU OVAH ZE HEAD* hehehhe it's great......but you gotta listen to the whole CD in total......i think you'll appreciate it more......give it a go! i still love it after having the CD for over a year! |
||||||||
|
|

*hitz you ovah LE head back* =D hehe ok, I'll scope it out. But not tonight, I neeeeeed sleep. |

Reset the preset' is, I think, the latest console album, it's a double album with styles, the first is along the lines of The Notwist with some chick singing, and the other goes more down a purely electronic path, it's wikkid moite. the website for the notwist is chock.full of full length tracks of all their related stuff, Console, Lali Puna and others, http://www.notwist.com/flash/main.html enjoy |
