I felt this had already happened but I was about to see it again…. Mind numbing, mentally crushing, membrane sloshing noise. Manhattan rumbled through night and I never knew that. Had suspected, had read it on t–shirts: ‘The city that never sleeps.’ But didn’t need to believe it. Sound disconnected from action. Each tone drifts against the next with nowhere it would rather be. No desire of dominance, No call to signify nothing. Gotta get me a token, make the rumble of the ‘A’ my lullaby. Gotta escape to the womb of my room. I never believed in New York nights.

cuando leí ‘thieves like us’ pense que se trataba de un cover de la canción de new order.. pero oh sorpresa!
Esa versión de Daft Punk para Daft Club de Harder Better Faster Stronger esta buena pero me mola muchisimo mas la de los neptunes (en el mismo album)
Me encantan los posts electrónicos en el motel de moka!!!
Wow, “Thieves Like Us” seems to have taken some samples from the Durutti Column. I hadn’t known about Durutti Column until some of their songs were posted here, but now to me those samples are unmistakable.
That’s not to say that I disapprove: in fact, the opposite. “Drugs in my body” turned out to be a great song!
Fk: :) Si he oido la de los neptunes pero esta me gusta mas, los ultimos minutos de esta remezcla me encantan.
Eric: Yes I also spotted the sample right away, it’s from “sketch for summer” (think I posted it around december) love what they did with the sample.
Also a quick sidenote:
The avalanches are back!! I’m really excited about seeing a release anytime soon. Ray of Zdarlight is a Wham! vs. Digitalism mash-up hope the next album is as fun as this song or the “since I left you” lp, I like that album very much.
If you visit theavalanches.com there’s a pair of mashups and remixes free to download.
ive been obsessed with the marble house myself :) love those words of a new york night, describes those low nyc days perfectly.
oh and p.s. loooove the stella ;)
fuck!!! WOW!!!! many great tracks here, like “distraction”!!
Fantastic post indeed. Really enjoy the Chromatics track.
