Chromatics are on the New Jersey based label, Italians Do it Better. A label that is in love witht he classic Italo-Disco sound pioneered by Giorgio Moroder. The vocals on their tracks remind me of the sexy. whispery vocals of Donna Summer.
This track exemplifies the amazing Italian Baroque sense of melody that The Bloody Beetroots have just like past Italian disco greats, Rondo Veneziano. They are a versatile duo that I believe are going to do big things in the future.
NT89 is an up and coming Italian DJ who has done remixes for Justice, Boys Noize, and Busy P. His free ep that he just released online reminds me of Giorgio Moroder meets Kavinsky’s nostalgic 80s synth sounds cranked to 11. I love his disorted synth arppeggios. NT89 & The Bloody Beetroots are opening for Justice during their Italian tour dates.
Fred Falke is the other half of another famous French duo, Alan Braxe & Fred Falke, another famous French Touch duo. Fred Falke was a funk bass player before he began to dabble in electronic music. You can hear his great funky compressed basslines on many of his own tracks as well as remixes such as the.
The “Reckoner” that was part of the band’s live sets sounds nothing like the “Reckoner” on the album, which includes the lyrics “in rainbows.” When the band returned from touring, it decided the song needed a second part, and then a third one; eventually it discarded the original. For “All I Need,” Mr. Greenwood said, he wanted to recapture the white noise generated by a band playing loudly in a room, when “all this chaos kicks up.” That sound never materializes in the more analytical confines of a studio. His solution was to have a string section, and his own overdubbed violas, sustaining every note of the scale, blanketing the frequencies.
“The first time we ever did ‘All I Need,’ boom! It was up on YouTube,” Mr. Yorke said. “I think it’s fantastic. The instant you finish something, you’re really excited about it, you’re really proud of it, you hope someone’s heard it, and then, by God, they have. It’s O.K. because it’s on a phone or a video recorder. It’s a bogus recording, but the spirit of the song is there, and that’s good. At that stage that’s all you need to worry about.”
Pitchfork: Speaking of the visuals, why isn’t there a DVD of this tour? Do you ever look up yourself on YouTube just to watch audience members go nuts? Thomas Bangalter: We are really excited by the idea that so many different people captured a video of their experience of the show in their own way. The thousands of clips on internet are better to us than any DVD that could have been released.
Thomas & Thom both share a love for Youtube.
I’m sure all of you have seen this but I can’t get enough of how hilarious/genius it is.
One of the goals set for ‘In Rainbows’ was to prevent the album from leaking on the internet beforehand, as had happened with the previous three albums. Colin: “It felt like a gigantic risk. Like Mission: Impossible, almost. We destroyed all CDs after every day of recording. And on the master we’d always write a name which would probably nobody would listen to if we had lost it; ‘Eagles: Greatest Hits.’ ‘Kula Shaker Demo’s.’ ‘Phil Collins’s Hip Hop Covers

Another new track off his up and coming album, Sexuality coming out next year, co-produced by Guy-Manuel de Homem Christo. This is a fusion of his classic overcompressed piano with his new found love for 70s synths. Dark & epic.
Stockhausen was a huge contributor to European Avant-Garde music and has had some lasting impact on todays musical landscape. Jonny Greenwood is a huge fan.
