Cool, ordered black vinyl from dischord, I'll grab colored vinyl from bandcamp. I really hope you guys used that track of Jason doing the news anchor voice. And then that other thing you recorded... :D I make these comments public to force your hand! mwahahaha
I still say "are your children texting velcro?!" when I see the local news is on. XD
Wooo- I'm not sure if Lovitt plans on repressing this 7" vinyl- so may have been a good investment for The Future! I haven't started on the Weapons artwork - I'm guessing it won't be out until next year since I haven't gotten a go-ahead to start that. But then again that is exactly 10 years since its release in 2001 so maybe it makes more sense. A factoid though: "Weapons" was recorded in 1999- sat two years on a shelf in label-limbo.
Other in-studio memory:
WHO CAN IT BE NOW?!
I think the general consensus is thumbs up. Now, I'd be interested to see if Nate comes out with a new Out_Circuit album as he mentioned on here a few weeks ago
@ Frodus > what's the key to redeeming the QR code? scanning with computer camera I presume?
I like the album design. It looks strikingly similar to the diagram in this Qabalah article.
Ordered both vinyls! Songs sound great. I agree with commoner, it does sound like Conglomerate International. So excited to have new Frodus!
Really dug this one, agree about the Conglomerate vibe. Got me so nostalgic I just had to put on "Disconnection Imminent!"
Commoner was right with this: "a darker side of Conglomerate International."
Since it was when we were learning the old Conglomerate songs for the re-release of FCI + shows with Liam along with current-events and all that I kind of got into the mindset of Conglomerate again. So we wrote the songs at least in my mind as some sort of extension to Conglomerate International. Surveillance-era, etc... seemed poignant with the times to be back there but in a darker context because of the reality of the crumbling of a big economic strucuture, etc... good observation!
On a side note I am happy with my screams- was in top-form doing lots of Yoga and breathing! :D Hahha! Old man Frodus needs jazzercise and not just high-sugar spazzy intakes (note: EARLY frodus circa 1993 was fueled by a steady diet of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Hostess Pies)!
@Stu - didn't see the connection, I'll read the article!
I hope there is a new Outcircuit too- if it does get all vibey/Asian I think it'll be the best one yet!
Now to focus on a new TRAVELERS OF TYME hyper-limited release next week + a Triobelisk "Xrystal" compilation of remixes + extra tracks!!!!! Everything is happening at once.
Indeed! It fueled the FCI- I can say high-sugar diet fueled early FCI- hence the spazzcore and why I could only last a 30 minute setlist back then, hahah! While you are at it- sign this petition to Hostess, I did: http://www.petitiononline.com/288/petition.html
thanks for the suggestions @commoner. i've spent the past day or so pouring over Shelby's site...which is awesome. as a writer and a musician, it's been cool to read his thoughts/insights on the whole creative process. plus i love the easter eggs i found throughout the site.
speaking of which, @frodus, thanks for putting together such a killer site. i love the simplicity and the depth of it. (of course, i'm assuming that you're Shelby). if i'm making a total noob mistake on this forum, my utmost apologies! :)
seriously smiled all day when i got the vinyl.... sounds amazing.... truly truly made my day. best of times. hey shelby, who pressed the vinyl?... if you dont mind my asking
