Does anyone is enjoying their sound ? I like "blue station" a lot. it reminds me of long chilled out and drunken nights ... :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
:) what's your favorite album of theirs? it's hard to pick mine, they're all great in their own ways. new tortoise coming out this year, possibly including their collaboration w/ squarepusher (recorded in 2001). |

||||||||

standards is more electronic (just by a little) than their previous albums, so if your favorite music is IDM go with that. tnt is more jam-oriented, but it also contains 2 very different sounding pieces (one that sounds like steve reich (ten day interval) and one that sounds sort of country-western believe it or not!). millions now living is tighter compositionally, except for "djed" which is sprawling (their longest track to date). tortoise (self-titled) is like tnt but not as refined. |

thx a lot, i'll download some tracks before i buy any of these albums. i also have to find those mp3-cd who i burned tortoise standards, i haven't marked them :P and every album needs a bit time sometimes. :) |

standards ! drum intro of first track kicks ass. Then after that everything in the album is good. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the best is their first...is the most austere,experimental and serious.it's one of my top 5 album of all time.... |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
the guitar riff in that 1st track, after the drum beat bit, is so cool! |
||||||||

just so you know, "blackbird" and "blue station" are the 2 bonus tracks on the JAPANESE version of standards(!) |

Tortoise = 'the for carnation' which is more GYBE! oriented. At least the two bands share 90% of the members. I think there's only one album by the for carnation. |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
for carnation? sorry you're wrong.for carnation is mainly brian mcmahan former of slint.....they're much more like slint. anyone here knows gastr del sol? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Uh... you didn't like any of the other tracks at all? I though the two that you liked were kind of boring. I love Tortoise. |
||||||||
|

tortoise is excellent, i used to like self titled best but its pretty shitty compared to standards and millions...tnt is strange, theres some really good tracks but some suck. Ive been waiting for a new tortoise album, hope its as good as standards. anyone like the sea and cake or isotope 217? I like slint and gastr de dol, but I dont have any gastr de dol releases, whats the best to start off with? |

Are you sure I'm wrong ? I believed the for carnation and tortoise were the same people ... Not sure of that either - let's check allmusic.com |

Another acoustic post-rock project based in Chicago, the For Carnation concerns full-time Tortoise members Douglas McCombs, John Herndon and David Pajo along with Brian McMahan, formerly Pajo's bandmate in Slint and Squirrel Bait. Despite each member's preoccupations, the For Carnation kept a consistent release schedule, with a debut EP and LP on Matador during 1995-96, and a second, import-only album the following year. The band's self-titled third LP appeared in the spring of 2000. — John Bush courtesy of allmusic.com |

str_ph:sorry hehehehe sorry i was almost sure. anyway i love the song ry cooder from the first record. for gastr del sol i suggest you camoufler(more pop) or upgrade and afterlife(more experimental) |
||||||||
|
|

|
|

millions now living... one of the best albums of the 90s the remix 12"s were superb too... if you guys didn't get those, there's jap import CD with all of them on there... amazing. luke vibert mix, autechre mix (on the reissue), etc |
||||||||
|

the ae mixes were excellent.. |

I love tortoise, my favorite is still "millions..." (the first one I got) followed closely by "standards." I still need to pick up TNT, but my local record store doesnt have it.... The weird thing is, I'm really not crazy about their debut, maybe I just need it to grow on me...The thing is I know alot of people love this album. Are there any defenders of this album who'd like to argue their case for me? David P.S. MachineofGod: As far as Gastr is concerned, go for camofleur. You will not be dissapointed. |

Oh, I misunderstood. Anyway, hope you enjoy the rest of the album. Firefly is a personal favorite of mine. |
