I dunno what happened over the last while there but I became a bit blog allergic (either of reading others or writing up my own). It seems to have passed though. I'm going to start mucking into this again over the next few evenings and posting up lots of nice MP3s. Starting with this molten missile of space-dance.
MP3: Lindstrom-
Grand Ideas
Lindstrom always looked toward space for inspiration. On his new album 'Where I go, you go too', he stops looking toward space and goes M.I.A there. You can imagine his brain streaming out of his ears like comet vapour and evaporating into the depths of the Nordic sky never to be seen again. The album's title track is a gloriously self-indugent 28 minute science fiction voyage of the sort that hasn't been seen since Tangerine Dream's 'Rubycon'. Sure, just look at yer man Lindstrom on the album cover. All beardy, cosmic and flaxen-haired, like he was frozen in time in 1975 and thawed out last week. Or like a 1970s geography teacher who brings his hottest looking sixth year pupils back after class for a special 'grind' involving his shag rug, a bong and a spin of his favourite krautrock records.
Finally, look out for
Analogue Magazine Issue 5. It's coming soon!!

Willkommen back. There's a scrap after school between State, Connected and Analogue, in the playground. I'm gonna film it on my phone and put it on youtube.
Yeah I see that Adam. I'd like to think the press release was written in haste/was not deliberate.
Never knew you were into happy slapping? There is a real sap who works in spar over the road. We should beat down on him and film that shit innit? word up sista.
welcome back! good choice of tune to do it to. what an insane amount of bombast, he's got some cojones that Lindstrom...
Justin were you at electric picnic with that fabulous machine behind you in your pic? If so, you drove past us and I admired!
I wish! that's not even my van, it just matched my tee-shirt on the day: http://jmason.org/home/
Hey Justin. Yeah we both thought that was you. A very similar van rolled by us. The Lindstrom album is definitely not going to be to everyone's taste. But I love a good bit of over-indulgence. My brother thinks this track sounds like the theme to a bad cop show.
it also seems very similar to an old Zepp tune! http://www.armrestkno.ws/archives/44
I guess it's tricky coming up with new hook melodies...
