I was wondering if anyone was into these guys. When I searched the board, the only mentions of them were from me but I know somebody here must dig them or would dig them. Ultra sleazy lo-fi new wave, so so noir and so cool. Any group that uses Gothy synths mixed with saxs has to be hip. I remember I randomly grabbed them out of somebody's SLSK folder in 2003 because their name reminded me of Sailor Moon (Sailor Moon + Tuxedo Mask= Tuxedomoon). You gotta admit, they have a cool name. |

i'm quite much into them, though not an expert. i have ghost sonata and desire. i also heard half-mute. ghost sonata is thus my fav record. it's time i explored them more. it's a thread about one of the most interesting bands from the 80s, it's a shame it's this short. |

actually youre wrong - a few weeks ago someone had an underrated album thread and my only post was in regards to their "half mute" LP - which is amazing so you're wrong...but they're amazing |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
i have that LP on vinyl and it sounds way better on analog !!! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no i'm not ! this thread is too short for such a fine band ! i have Ghost Sonata on an old tape !!! and it sounds awesome and more awesome each year !!! |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
no...the guy who started this is wrong for thinking he is the only one who is into tuxedomoon ... |
||||||||
|
|

|
|

||||||||

In the meantime Ophecks got to know yet another guy who is deffinately into Tuxedomoon, namely: ME. Half Mute - great, Desire - better |
||||||||
|

|
|
nah, i don't :) look at how funny it was : we were screaming about tuxedomoon at xltronic ! ----> "!!!" |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
just imagine how happy Ophecs will be if he logs in tonight - to see this thread. |
||||||||
|
|

|

Yeah, 3 people, same people. |

Tuxedomoon-.The.Ghost.Sonata\Tuxedomoon - 12 Les Odalisques perfect track. all you kids who think that "aphex twin" made any great track in his lazy career so far - just listen to this album. |

I must be getting senile already, I clicked the thread thinking Tuxedo Mask.. and hoping for some Sailor Moon discussion. |

Like I said, their name is actually what got me into them. Isn't it precious? I don't remember this topic... I remember making it but I don't think I ever saw it again when it got bumped back up. And yeah, The Ghost Sonata is beautiful. Tuxedomoon is one of my top 10 favorite bands ever. Blaine L. Reininger's solo albums are well worth checking out too. Random great TMoon track- their live Heard it through the Grapevine cover on Pinheads on the Move. |

Like I said, their name is actually what got me into them. Isn't it precious? haha, I love that you used that word, it takes a big man to say that and mean it. :) But yes, it is precious, and now I am curious to hear their music. Is this something that would have normal music store distribution or am I going to have to dig a little? It really is amazing how much music I discover just based on interesting or alluring artist/track/album titles. I don't care what anyone says about 'not judging a book by its cover' or the arbitrariness of track titles or whatnot. I think its crucial. |

The Ghost Sonata is quite different to their other albums. |

Yeah, I'm pretty shallow when it comes to names and track titles... there's so much stuff I just shotgun download on SLSK just because it has a cool name (I don't blind buy... I'll blind download and then see if it wins me over first). Stuff I've never seen mentioned anywhere else. It's pretty surprising how fruitful it is... if something has a cool name, there's like a 95% chance I'll like it. It's a cheesy tactic. You might have to dig a little for Tuxedomoon stuff, though Amazon has most of their best albums. Half Mute is probably the best intro... hooke me, anyway. Really distinctive stuff, great mood music with a couple of great quirky pop tunes. |

i agree, it sound like it was recorded with lots of ghosts inside the recording studio present during the recording process....and emiting strangest of sounds |
