Be sure to check out their cruelly overlooked swan song album "Pygmalion." |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah..ive been looking for that one...ive only heard one of the tracks from it..and liked it a lot i got souvlaki last week though...very nice did you hear mum is doing a cover of one of their tracks? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I haven't heard that mum cover ... I think Pygmalion is out of print. If you have any trouble finding it head over to the opennap server... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
yeah...they covered machine gun i guess its going to be on some sort of slowdive compilation coming out this fall.. i forgot which track it was until i checked just now... im really excited to hear it now..since machine gun is one of my favorite tracks... |
||||||||
|

|
|
hey, I bought this today!! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
"lift yr. skinny..."? What do you think? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, that one... hmmm, it sounds pretty cool so far, but I haven't listened to it all yet... the first disc is nice, especially the first song... and I have the first track of the second disc playing, and it's cool... so far so good!! :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
good choice funkster! if you like it, all their albums are equally good! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hehe, it's oldschool me! i've since burned the copy that i borrowed and enjoy to the fullest. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, I started playing this album a lot recently, and it's quite good... it used to annoy me, but if I just sit back and let the music play, I really enjoy it... quite beautiful stuff... my only complaint really, is track 2 of the first disc... everything else is killer! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I like this album a lot, definately in my top ten. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
first track on the second disc is my favorite. how old is this thread? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

slowdive pygmalion is great. though i havent listened to it in awhile the only GYBE i really liked, is probably the one nobody likes (nobody i talk to at least), and thats yanqui u.x.o. the rest are too over-epic for me. well, i do like slow riot for new zero kanada as well. overall just not my thing i guess. the skill is definitely there though, i respect them. |

I love all Godspeed, and all projects that have been released on Constellation except for the first Fly Pan Am and I'm not too crazy about Exhaust. Set Fire to Flames and Esmerine (GYBE-affiliated projects) are stunning. Way to revive a worthy thread! |

yanqui uxo is the greatest thing they've ever done. i pretty much like all their side projects too except 1 speed bike. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i'm not a big fan of yanqui uxo really. lysflath is my favourite. their most recent album has none of the weird and creepy samples, which is why i like them in the first place. as a result i have only listened to it once or twice. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
wow if you're listening to godspeed for the samples then you're really missing the point (no offense). i mean they're great samples but the band make great music and that's the best part of the album. they don't need speaking samples to make good music and for some of us yanqui proves that. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah, I like it for the music. The samples were really cool, but the thing is (IMO) the earlier stuff needed samples and found sound stuff to tie the different parts of the long tracks together, whereas Yanqui UXO pulls off continuous 20+ minute songs like a champ. Anyway, speaking of Yanqui UXO, and in case no one knew, there is approximately 8 extra minutes of material on the lp vs the cd. The intro to MF = R (part 2) is significantly longer, and there's this weird vocal sample (there you go!!!) of Goerge W. Bush speaches cut up and spliced in really interesting ways. Go get it!!! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Goerge = George. Bush = cunt. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah that's what i loved about yanqui. it's a great album to space out to because the 20 minute long songs are completely seamless. and mf=r is the greatest thing ever. no question. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yanqui uxo was not that good |
||||||||
|
|

Normally I would say something like "oh well, to each his own" or "there's no accounting for taste", but no, you are just wrong this time. |
||||||||

Over 10 years later and they finally have a new album out, good times |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Is it any good? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
It's good. Maybe it leans a bit heavily on the droning aspect, but still it delivers. |
