did he change his mind or something?

[CATS]

he did an interview about living in thailand a while ago. when he was younger he did some photography of boys in semi-sexual ways (nothing nude or explicit from what i've seen). however anything remotely sexual out of his years in thailand has been with guys that look in their mid to late 20s.

btw, u never replied to my pm about whether or not yellow light district is available for download

not yet :(

hey sorry about that guys i will put up a link. it's on emusic right now and pretty much every other digital music store if you dont want to wait

[sneaksta303]

fuck, I want a hard copy so bad... I am so skint right now it isn't even funny. derailing thread talking about Brian E ftw.

[Awepittance]

back to soisong, i didn't see many other people talking about the 'synthesized musician' aspect of this album. all of the vocals on it are done with yamaha speech synthesizer plugin Vocaloid and the guitars and drums are obviously sampled but played in a such a way to sound quasi live. I like this approach, it's kind of like synthesized live band concept

[Awepittance]

someone told me there was a recent quote from PC about how he has learned that all vocalists 'crash' , double meaning for computers and humans

[CATS]

i was actually disappointed with the vocals on this album compared to Form Grows Rampant

[flurobox]

Thanks for sharing that with us Aw. I was under the impression that PC was doing all the vocals himself, then digitally twisting them out of shape. Also, i just wanted to say that this album is very LSD friendly. Especially during the first hour,... coming up! Shivers up my spine when I head that Diablo/Tristram-eque track.

I didn't find anything saying it wouldn't be a cd. Excellent interview though!

xAj3z packaging is PIANO STEALTH [tm] technology - this reflect what we have been doing with the sound - that "disguising of high-tech in classical forms". Further, PIANO STEALTH will be expanding into other lines of products we plan to make in connection with the album..

i took that as an xaj3z releated release that isnt a cd. of course i could be mistaken...

thanks for posting the interview, i'm excited for future PC related stuff, he seems to be channeling an older period Coil vibe that i really enjoy. There aren't very many electronic musicians besides Autechre, Coil & this new PC/coh stuff where i can really appreciate the thematic or technical concept of the song as i'm listening to it. threshold house boys choir was great too
