>Off the top of my head I happen to think the new Labradford record 'E >Luxo So' is a lovely piece of post-rock meets film score record.

AGREED! Had the opportunity to see Labradford perform most of this album on Thursday nite. They seriously rank up there with giants like Eno, Michael Brook, and The Durutti Column. Quite a nice show, liked they way they've incorporated the Oval/Pole clicks in their repertoire. I suppose clicking has become the new scratching. What I did find puzzling, however, was how many more people came to see Godspeed You Black Emperor. Godspeed is a great band, but I always found Labradford to be the giants of this genre. Perhaps I'm just getting old. :-) Anyway, I, for one, am greatly anticipating the Labradford mix of LFO... Mike.

i was bored to death by Labradford when they came to toronto earlier this week. sure it was the first time i heard them, but the music didn't seem to go anywhere. the clickyness might've nice, but that's just cuz it was over top of the boring drones, and in that case anything would've sounded nice. maybe it's bedroom music. anyhow, i was there for Godspeed and they blew me away. tomas
