It's a very good album ! it look like a kind of best of bardo pond, with songs that look like what they were doing in their "matador era" and over one that look more like what they did recently...
It seems to me that vocals are more put forward than on the other album... the voice is not drowned into the guitar... it's a little bit suprising but it's okay...
Bardo Pond is a great band !!

I think the new one is pretty amazing.... the poor reviews I read implied it was "too noisy" and "too jammy" so I was hopeful it would be noisy and jammy!

It's a shame to see that such a great band and such a great record are so ignored... just listen to this :

great, thanks. Also, FMA seems promising. I just currently downloaded stuff from some (to me) obscure finnish band.

They are actually touring in Europe this month.

yeah, regrettably too far away from me

I am from The Netherlands and living in Vienna for half a year and what happens? Bardo Pond comes playing 400 meters from my home in The Netherlands.... Aaargh! They haven't been playing in my country for years...

hmm

I will already be doing this hmm in december. But they won't be there, sadly.

don't worry, i can go in your place.
it'll be the 8th time i see them, but the first time in the netherlands. :rolleyes:

nice one, will you be taping the show?

probably not, sorry.
the only thing i tape these days are my own band rehearsals.

Ok, no problem. Enjoy the show!

inspired by the sonic youth thread:

Big Laughing Jym - 8/10 (this one has to be listed, because it has Dragonfly on it)
Bufo Alvarius, Amen 29:15 - 7/10
Amanita - 10/10
Lapsed - 10/10
Set & Setting - 7/10
Dilate - 9/10
On the Ellipse - 8/10
Ticket Crystals - 8/10
Bardo Pond - 7/10 (haven't yet listened much to that one though)

Batholith - 7/10 (ditto)
Peri - 9/10

the Volumes I'll giva an overall 8/10

and release a vinyl version of Ticket Crystals goddamnit!

I usually feel a bit guilty about commenting on the sexiness of female band members, as i dont want to undermine their talent, but Isobel is fucking sexy

did you like it?

Some guy was scolded for stating this on another forum kind of thing, but yep, I concur wholeheartedly.

Check out http://bardo-pond-photography.blogspot.com/, if you haven't already.

yeah, they were really good. they always are.
not that many people, i reckon about 80-100. shame.

nice.

somebody I know said they were better than at ATP last year, but I doubt that. I don't trust her opinion on this band :)

Hmm, I don't know.
I remember that I wasn't really able to keep my full attention during their set at ATP so I'm not the right person to ask to compare them. I remember the gig they played in London a few days before that much clearer.

I sometimes have issues with the sound at De Helling, but it was really good this time.

hehe, was front row at ATP, but sadly it was early on the day.

They should have put the gig in EKKO, much nicer there instead of that industrial hall De Helling is...

fucking killer

Any Bardo Pond fan out there can help me out with the name of this song? I don't think it's from any of their albums that I've heard. Great moment from an absolutely mindblowing show.

Every Man (On The Ellipse, 2003 album)

new website: http://bardopond.com/

Really like the site.

does anyone know who is sampled in the end-part of The High Frequency by Bardo Pond on Amanita?

So if I asked you to recommend me a good intro to Bardo Pond, what would you say?

Lapsed is the album that i enjoyed first, but if you want a song, we all adore this live version of the song Isle from Ticket Crystals

i would also reccomend the latest self titled album on Fire records (I do not work for them, i just think theyre a great label).

get stuck in, they are one of the few bands who can make you feel totally at peace with the world around you.

Bardo Pond: November 19, 2011

Bardo Pond & Tom Carter's "4/23/03", due to be released in January of 2012, can now be pre-ordered from Three Lobed Recordings:

http://threelobed.com/tlr/tlr089.html

Cool. I must say i wasnt that blown away by their previous collaboration, but if theyve got back together its definitely worth a listen.

this is a reissue with an extra track and the 2xlp comes with a hour long bonus cd from 4/25/03.

Oh, I misread that as a new collaboration... Chances are i wont be ordering the bumper reissue then...

Yeah, it was originally released in 2004, but never in vinyl format.

they should get back together again, tom carter plus bardo pond is one of the greatest equations in psychedelic rock and roll. The last Charalambides album was exceptional, as was the last Bardo Pond album. Lets have it!

Bardo Pond always seemed kinda samey, but I am really digging their latest release. Might have to investigate further.
