I'm pretty surprised there wasn't a thread made for this ages ago. This is so good. I mean, like really really fucking good. Here is a link for people who haven't heard it, not mine. It's disco done completely right, kind of reminds me of Herbert "Scale" from a while back, except this is way better than that. I LOVE PITCHFORK

No it's not, it's sharebee. It links you to four different sites (megaupload, rapidshare etc) use this, it's worth it hxxp://www.badongo.com/file/7602490

try again


Then how did I download the file from that site 30 minutes ago (the badongo link I provided)?

Anyway, this thread is a fail, I'm going to go wash my hands until they bleed

if its any consolation, I downloaded it off your badongo link. I'm hesitant about this because what I listened to from their myspace just didn't work for me. I just hear Antony's voice and want him to be melancholy and melodramatic - disco shit is not what I have in mind.

So all the links except badongo work, and badongo doesn't have Opera support.

All is well.

I'll try this although I was never a fan of Anthony. But from what I know of him it seems a bit of an odd mix. But still will listen before I pass judgment. Thanks for link.

So this for the most part annoyed me. Hercules Theme is pretty good and You Belong and Athene. But I can't take much more than that...mostly because of Antony's voice...pretty narrow minded of me but still. Vocals matter a lot to me in music.

I actually think his vocals make this. The climax near the end of Time Will is insane

Its purely subjective really. I just don't really warm to his vocals.

I've listened to this like twice and haven't particularly had the desire to come back to it.

This is confusing - is Blind not melancholy and melodramatic?

I don't even notice Antony that much on here. He's only on half the tracks, it's not the Antony Disco Band Starring Antony or anything. Andrew Butler is the guy who really puts his stamp on this and gives it its sound.

Anyway I like this album. It wears its influences pretty obviously on its sleeve and it's not wildly innovative or anything, but the songs are very well written and the less-obvious lyrical themes are integrated more smoothly than, say, the Kelley Polar album (which I also like, just with a few more caveats).

In the future there is only drink and birds.

I'm surprised you listened to it at all, it's totally not your thing.

Rosenband is my jam.

Really terrific record. Wish I'd caught them with Timo a couple months ago when they were round, but I was stuck on deadlines.

Love it. Assumed there was a thread on it already. Our new promo director is trying to bring them to my soon-to-be alma mater. Hopefully they'll still be buzzworthy in September.
