[La La]

right now i'm nursing my inability to sleep with Game Over.

 

[BC]

"pendulum man", the final track off "hex" which i first heard when it was used as the soundtrack to the first sketch from chris morris' "jam", is one of my favourite songs ever. absolutely blissful. they apparently started off as a napalm death tribute band...

 

[flo jo]

Hex is an amazing album. Could never work out why it seemed to go unnoticed? I think game over is a kind of compilation of bits and pieces. They released another album after about ten years called codename dustsuker which was ok.

 

[La La]

yeah Hex is brilliant. i love their sound, there's something unexpected about it which i find refreshing

 

[MrT]

Someone gave me some of their stuff about 2 years ago. I know fuck all about them but love their music.
Particlularly love the track "400 winters"..magic.

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to La La again..|..|

yeah they recorded it on an old church apparently! top album...i had the good fortune to find it twice in secondhand sections over the years man, "the loom" and "a street scene" what a killer punch!! and before igor gets on here - the b:side to "a street scene" (reserve shot gunman?) is totally savage!! not too mention the "scum" ep!!! sometimes the shadow of late talk talk hung a little too heavy over them but yeah - good memories...

[rampz]

i bought their nothing feels 12" around 1990 or so. was one of my fave records at the time. got that retrospective album last year. deffo worth getting. cool band.

 

[jimmybreeze]

love Hex,its a damn good album

 

[Rogue]

genius.genius.genius.genius.genius.genius.

no really.

Codename Dustsucker was quite good too, not seminal but lovely all the same.

 

[Nate Champion]

They're really hiding something. Not so sure about the vocals though.



Useless trivia:

The term 'post-rock' was coined by Simon Reynolds in a review he gave of 'Hex' at the time of it's release. Words apparently failed him...

 

[ernesto]

just downloaded Game over because of this thred. its brilliant. deadly!

 

[BC]

ah, you've got to hear "pendulum man", its on a par with labradford at their best, which is about the highest recommendation possible i could give.

im glad this thread has been bumped

On a par!!!!!!

Now I like Labradford as much as the next man (unless, clearly, that man is Brian C.) but I think the comparison should run the other way around, someone alter the universe please.

Brian, (or La La) what's your recommendations for Labradford? I've only heard a few albums and I've forgotten the names mostly.

"mi media naranja" is their best, i think. a stunningly beautiful album and one of my favourite albums ever. it should be easily available, i saw it in tower records recently for 9.99. "e luxo so" and "fixed: content" are also excellent, but "...media..." is the best place to start and i think the most wonderful one overall.

Yers, I have Mi Media Naranja and A Stable Reference, lovely stuff altogether but I wouldn't trade it for Hex anyday.
