Yeah, I think we've already had this conversation. Motorik is fine in its place, but these songs (for me) are crying out for a human drummer with a bit of sloppy swing.

legov Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 Well, yeah, apparently it's very Bob Dylan-esque (and I agree). There's enough of a contemporary edge to set it apart though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure they'd still be just as worth listening to, and It'd be interesting to hear them played like that. The motorik thing is just one of those musical whotsits that kind of gets me every time.

hogso Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 (edited) I never really listeded to them much after this LP, but it and the associated singles and b-sides are still bloody magnificent I have to say. Edited June 11, 2016 by hogso 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hogso Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 I am the horizon I have dreamt of my eyes tracing rings around this world My arms are stretched to forever My fingers shake with the fear of control The fear I know you all know so well We all lay claim to our destinies yet we all rise and fall with the current A bona fide skramz classic along with the 7" which I am about to listen to Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I once wore a shirt of the above album at a greek restaurant, thought i was being well clever. I'd say that if music were food, that album would be the furthest thing from a kebab possible. Like a cheese board or something (is that the furthest thing possible from a kebab, foodwise? Almost certainly not. Both fatty, moreish food stuffs. I should have given that more thought).

Seat68 Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 Slowdive were never a band for me, couldnt get on with shoegaze of any description, but really liked Mojave 3 who formed from the slowdive ashes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miles away from his best, but a good listen. Worst bit are the tracks that aren't songs. Boring as shit. I miss the skits of College Dropout etc He's added another track - 'Saint Pablo' and its up there with the best tracks on there. Saw an interview with Chance the other day and it seems there loafs of different versions of each track. He played a snippet of 'Famous', but with a verse from Chance before the breakdown at the end - sounded ace. I'd love him to release a complete collection of all the songs - a bit of a 'create your own album' thing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
