Horóscopo’s eyes roll back into his head, and an empty scabbard clatters across marble. "Taisez-vous, et songez aux choses que vous dites." The Nightgaunts descend...

Thanks for all the support.

Flipped Out Bride is now sold out.

when will the cd edition is going to be released?

NOV-DEC.

Has anybody heard the flipped out bride lp yet? I saw it on e-bay. What is it like? Is it really drone or is it more wild/noisy improvisation, like most of his solo releases (i've heard of him)?

Before you buy from ebay
 

They have some in-stock at midheaven mailorder. www.midheaven.com

i think nihilist records also has a few. you'll have to google for that address.

b

thanks, but i was more asking for the sound and not where to get it.

Is there a cheaper mailorder than midheaven? Very customer-friendly prices.

hmmmmm?

that's great news about the cd edition. i think i will get cd, eventhough i've started to collect vinyl (hehe). i have first and only 2 vinyls "in my life" (with no turntables) so far since this thread started (hehe). It's sold out anyway (i mean Fliepped Out Bride), so I'll stick with cd edition. just keep us informated.

Live and Shave in L.A., "Horóscopo: Sanatorio de Molière"

 

 

 

Written by Lucas Schleicher Tuesday, 17 October 2006 Pretentious art projects fail mostly on one level: they pretend that their conceits alone will win them accolades. The title of this recording and the description it has on Blossoming Noise's Web site refer to Jean Baptiste Poquelin Molière and a comedy he wrote that was censored from public performance for a period of time. While it doesn't sound very intriguing to me to begin with, the time travel crap added doesn't help, nor does the relatively lame music.
Blossoming Noise

Thurston Moore plays on this record; maybe the Sonic Youth kids can appreciate that. And the band's name is a bit humorous, so maybe all the hip kids will catch on to that and praise the band's "down to earth" front. Then they'll stumble over French names, time travel narratives, an art for the sake of art cover, and bad sound collage and wonder what the hell is going on. I know irony is the new black and that hypocritical cynicism is the best way to win an argument these days, whoever you're arguing with, but nobody is going to convince me that it's worth trying to decode all the nonsense this group has layered into their release for Blossoming Noise. I'm a fan of whacky concepts, but this seems to be less whacky than it is absolutely unintelligible. If the liner notes are to be taken seriously at all, then everything on this record consists of sounds from previous releases by To Live and Shave in L.A. and are remixed in some fashion so as to capitalize on this concept of assassination and literary history. I don't buy it for a second and, after listening to nothing but electronic chirping for an hour or so, I'm not sure how many people will.

I love it when weird bands that have consumed too much acid over the years play with electronic devices. There's always a certain childishness to their work and, if that's missing, a fairly warped picture of the universe supported by a librarian's knowledge of the occult, the underground, or the otherwise ignored. What I do not like is when someone pretends to be just like that and ends up spitting out an hour's worth of wormy noise that doesn't belong together or doesn't fit together in the first place. Anyone can make a bunch of noise and act as though they've just completed a masterpiece: just slap some stupid arty machinery in the background and maybe some people will be fooled! After trying to find some redeeming quality to this record, I'm convinced it doesn't exist. Machine noise, some static, and some really repetitive analog sound bounce around without any sense of intrigue and eventually end in a wash of yelled vocals, half-dead pulsation, and static. The album is consistently flat, even when it attempts to juice things up, such as on "1643." No amount of turning the volume up to eleven will make anything on this record worth hearing.

i dont know what midheaven has it for but rrrecords.com has it for $15.

anyone get theirs in the mail yet? i saw this in a store in nyc a week and a half ago..and am starting to get a bit frustrated...

which store? where? price?

Flipped Out Bride review from The Wire:

140 grams of blue marbled vinyl in a sleeve sporting two fine paintings by Kim Gordon, this limited edition album of solo guitar improvisations, the first in a series Moore has designed to feature Gordon's art and to reflect his literary interests, certainly looks the business. Flipped Out Bride is the title of a poem Moore wrote for an introduction to a reprint of "How I Became One Of The Invisible", a collection of drawings by American poet and academic David Rattray.

Within the grooves themselves, the sound of electricity crackling into life emanates strongly, as wildly oscillating pulses and percussive tremors create an almost tangible physical energy that eventually subsides into high end skree and burble, punctuated by shards of flagrant guitar abuse. "O Sweet Lanolin" is the more atmospheric of the two tracks, and much the stronger for it. Allowing more room for the darkness to exhale, as a series of off-key harmonics and ominous feedback drones combine, the piece generates an overriding sense of trepidation and foreboding, waiting for a salvation that never comes.

While each of its component parts - music, art and concept - all work fine separately, it is never clear how these different aspects marry up. Minor thematic quibble aside, this is just one more impressive release from the house that Sonic Youth built.

sounds good. I need that cd.

Wha? Surely you already have it???

well, the cd edition is not out yet :)

— johnnydarko @ 5:09 pm
This album is a compiled remix of old works to get fans ready for the upcoming album: “Noon and Eternity” which will finally feature TLASILA as an octet with newest band members Andrew W.K. Don Fleming and Richard Russo. These reworked tracks span 15 or so albums from 1991-2006, beginning a new chapter for the band who has not released any original material since the original trio ended in 2002. Cuts are loopy grainy and crunchy with a mechanical robotic feel to them. Imagine being in a factory with robots shooting laser pens into your eyes. Frequent high pitch beeps keep your hands close to the volume controls with sound clips approaching unbearable levels at times. Some keyboard/piano clips accompany looped and half/eaten vocals, always surrounded by static, buzzing, churning and cyclical moving part sounds. The chaos & complexity of instrumentation makes sci-fi seem low-fi and empowers people who push buttons. Tom Smith and Thurston Moore could very well be the descendants of men who had to manually sound the alarm. Fine production and use of frequencies often create the sense of real world sounds occurring whirling around our heads. And then you realize its just Andrew WK bashing a bottle on your dome.
