||||||||

haha it doesn't link your account at all...it just directly adds the album into a shopping basket :D I bet it put the shits up you though...lol |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
phew.... anyway, i just preordered both the single and the album. i can't wait!! :D |

LFO stencils, cool! i really like the font TDR made for the freak 12" and the album, plus mark bell's little alien guy. you can make a cool shirt out of this. has anyone here actually heard the album? the real thing has been on soulseek for 2 months now but i didn't want to download it. provided that there's a US release, i'm waiting till i own the album before i hear it. i'm pretty excited tho, about this and the new outkast and a perfect circle. |

what are stencils? |

|

I've had the tape for a while now but I've not opened it :) Want to preserve the pristine condition... though I have to resist the urge to open and wind the loose tape on the spools each time I look at it. I hate it when tapes don't come with those things that slip into the spool to hold it. |

kids use stencils (plastic things) to draw with crayons or pencils perfect shapes.. grown-ups use bigger stencils to spray paint things like logos and pictures |-----------| |.............| |.............| |.............| |-----------| if you spray paint that, you'll paint a perfect square (pretend the .'s aren't there) |

That's possibly the worst square I've ever seen drawn on a computer :) |

|

ok, i see. thanks. |
||||||||
|
|

no it hasnt been on soulseek, if fact to my knowledge it still isnt on soulseek |
||||||||

wrong! unless someone made fakes of the EXACT same length as the real tracks (i didn't download it but i did compare to what i was given privately), at least some people have had the real album for quite a while now. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
so, has anyone received it?...it better be in my mail tomorrow...OR ELSE! |
||||||||
|

it's weird how allmusic.com and bn.com (barnes & noble) have a picture of the promotional cassette instead of the album cover.. that's gonna throw off a lot of people and i'm sure impact a small portion of sales i'm gonna order it next week, bn.com are assholes about preorder prices and they don't ship it before the day of release.. in fact they rarely even ship it the day of or the day after the day of release, so it's like why bother preordering? |

My pre-ordered sheathed CD arrived this morning! Hurrah! I can finally listen to it! For those who might think that Freak is representative of the rest of the album: it's not. It's actually vary varied and rather nice. But: too short. |
||||||||

pity it's so patchy and overhyped |
||||||||
|

I'd have thought that in this day and age of advertising fee-for-all anyone who is much swayed by hyperbole is a little naïve. |
||||||||

You mean "free-for-all" don't you? |

patchy, that's how simon reynolds described 'advance' in the one sentence he gave that album in his several pages about LFO.. i felt that was pretty brutal. i enjoy 'advance' even if it's not a classic; everything i've heard from 'sheath' has been good to excellent. i think it's tough for people whose debut was heralded as a classic; a lot of their later work goes ignored or is instantly written off. |
||||||||

sure but i think it's patchy - like two differnt albums - rather schizo and kind of old sounding - i reckon there is a better album of tracks on tapes in the warp office or something . advance was pretty weak - this has some good tracks on it but it hangs together rather badly with a few tracks you can skip on it. warp are overated badly anyway i think - they're glossier and have more cash and press than other labels like leaf and mille plateaux or whoever tho |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

according to the press release, 'sheath' is song-for-song a tape a friend of mark bell's made for listening to in his car and such.. so that could explain why it sounds aged in spots (perhaps up to 7 years?) or like 2 different albums i think warp are more daring than rephlex but in the end they're both top notch labels with mega talents |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hahaha |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
nah rephlex release funk records about farting, ragga drum and bass, noise, dancehall, music made by people with mechanical orchestras, electroacoustic music, soundtracks for shakespeare plays, pure acid, old acid soundtracks breakcore madness sung by a polish man in japanese, bizarre folk albums and bell suites i could go on - rephles are far more exciting |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
warp release avant garde hip-hop, lo-fi indie rock, ambient, acid, etc. pretty good for a so-called "idm" label. anyway it's moot because they're about equally exciting anyway, i just think warp's doing a decent job not portraying themselves as a single style (like schematic and planet mu, i would probably argue). |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
It rocks!!!!!.... even if it did take me ages to get the sheath off the actual CD... Frequencies is one of the few early WARP albums I still listen to regularly so I've been looking forward to this for a while... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
just ordered mine too. very exciting. nice special CD case I listened to ALL the audio clips on the LFO site, and was very happy |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i'm gonna have to order on line, i don't think it will be available in my local store. i'm very anxious to get this release tho.....and why do they make it a chore to open CD's.....it's like the plastic is glued to the case......bahhhhh |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
- holy shit people still think LFO is a duo! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
damn way to get it totally wrong BILLBOARD!!!! varley left LONG AGO......man don't these reporters have FACT checkers....???? next thing you know they'll be talking about the Aphex Twins....and THEIR new CD.....ehhehehe oyeeeee vey |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I guess we should be grateful they haven't confused them with the other LFO...*shudders*... |
||||||||

First of all: Advance IS a classic! Freak is an amazingly cool single that makes me want to go bananas on some dancefloor. What a bomb of a party-set it would be to mix "Freak" and "Tied up" track by track...phui! So naturally I really look forward to hear "Sheath". Maybe I'm just getting old but I think "Freak" renaissances that classic techno sound without sounding dated at all. It sounds surprisingly fresh actually! |
