Those who've been enjoying vocal-based idm recently may want to check out Hood's 'Cold House', which ends up at around the same place although its roots are in indie/shoegaze. Some nice lo-fi beats, guest appearances by Why? and dose from anticon...it's not Kid A, but unlike that album, the rock/electronic fusion comes off as effortless and totally natural. Oh, c'mon, you guys were discussing Coldplay fer chrissakes, cut me some slack.

i second the below opinion. been listening to hood for a few weeks now. 'effortless' and 'natural' are nice and good adjectives for 'cold house'. the album just flows along. i'm all for the indie/idm fusion thing, myself. i've been into both kinds of music for a long time...the hood album, dntel's 'life is full of possibilities', casiotone for the painfully alone's 'pocket symphonies for lonesome subway cars'.... it's good to see the streams crossed in this way. anyone come across anything similar...? and on the OT tip, like hiphop? aesop rock is completely rocking this boat. damn.

Another couple of weeks patience and you'll hear what I mean (if you have the patience to listen through the whole 130 minutes).

Fans of Hood be sure to check out Matt's solo stuff under the alias "Randomnumber" .. it's real good. He's coming to Southern California in March for a mini-tour: March 15th @Don Loope in Tijuana (w/FAX & The Snodgrass) March 17th @Spacland in Los Angeles (w/Languis + surprise!)

Finally got a copy of 'Duck-Rabbit.' Fantastic design, I just love Rune Grammafone. I want them to redesign my... my... everything. I've almost ordered other artists from them based on their packaging alone, anyone care to pass on any pointers or reviews? On first blush D-R sounds more focused, almost more Boards of Canada, then Alog's first (Red Shift Swing) -- I even hear elements that echo drum & bass. But this step towards more general accessibility doesn't hide their gleeful use of mutated and mutilated source... so tasty! Please, someone point me towards something similar... (free association comes up with Curd Duca's Elevator 3 and maybe Philip Jeck, but I already know those...)! aaron ghede@well.com http://www.quietamerican.org --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org

definitely. bringing electronics into the soft, sappy world of guitars! really though, ColdHouse has some very nice stuff on it in terms of taking 'wimpy indie rock' and throwing in some 'not forced, but quite natural feeling' electronic textures. the best part about it is that it sounds so appropriate. like if you weren't paying attention you wouldn't even notice. it's definitely coming from the rock camp as opposed to the DNTEL that came from the electric camp and incorporated 'indie' elements. funny, i actually interviewed Hood for Adesh's recordcamp.com (should be posted, like, in video-or-something, in a bit) when they were in nyc last friday. very nice chaps. though i must say the 'synthesis' works a lot better for them in the studio than live. at one point, though, the mic connection was all fucked up and it sounded really cool, like the vocal cut-ups on album.

I like Hood well enough, but I find The Notwist a bit more to my liking along those lines - although, admittedly, they're not doing quite the same things. Can't forget Lali Puna either. I'm also a fan of Tarwater, but would place them a step farther down the scale than The Notwist in terms of the electronic/indie combination. I guess I find the "songs" more structured and 'hook appeal' more prevalent in Notwist than in Hood. Perhaps it's a more German vs. UK appeal in the swirl. jeff At 09:36 AM 3/19/2002, you wrote:

> speaking of the notwist, any recommendations on albums other than shrink > (which i really really like)?

The other Notwist albums that I know are "12" (the one before "Shrink") and "Neon Golden" (the latest one). Both are OK, but really the masterpiece there is "Shrink". You can try "Neon Golden", it's easy to find and got very good reviews overall, but listen beforehand as it might be disappointing. However, other bands sharing members with the Notwist are worth getting into like the Tied & Tickled Trio (more jazzy, try the latest "Electric Avenue Tapes" and work your way back if you like it) and Village of Savoonga (more "post-rock", start with "Score" and work your way back as well). TTT have a remix album as well, which would be the most IDM one I guess, but I haven't heard it.

--------- Agreed (and didn't I mention that?) that Hood and Notwist are apples and oranges, but I still find The Notwist something I go back to more than Hood - as with Lali Puna (didn't I mention that as well?). Neon Golden (The Notwist) is also excellent...but I like everything I've heard by them (which is almost all of it, although I am still awaiting on a few associated projects to arrive via the mails). jeff --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org

One member of the Notwist is Martin Gretschmann who works under the name Console in his solo guise. The only thing I've heard by him is Live at the Centre Pompidou, and I was totally impressed.

The latest console album "Rocket in the pocket" is very good and fun; you must know at least the track that Björk did on "Vespertine" ("Heirloom"). julien --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
