TV on the Radio - Nine Types of Light

[encey]

I think I somehow burned out too, to my surprise. I got into their last two albums at the same time and loved both, but now when I hear these new songs I just feel like, 'yeah, it's another TVotR song ... ' :(

I quite like it so far, 3 listens in...

I was about to post how my opinion has flopped 180 degrees on this. it's pretty damn good now.

[jules]

this album grew on me quite a bit actually

[Atop]

is there a connection with the John Cater books and the title of the album?

 

"

The first 7 rays are the colors of the rainbow, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet. In the books, the 8th and 9th rays were colors not seen on Earth and one place John Carter sees them is shining from a jewel on the man who runs the atmosphere plant that generates the air so everyone can live on Barsoom.

 

When he sees this man, wearing a diadem, the diadem scintillates in all 9 colors of light, including 2 we've never seen on Earth, the 8th and 9th rays. Again, this is in the book. The 8th ray is what makes light move -- it's a propulsion ray that propels light away and is what they capture and store in the bladders of their fliers so they can fly. (When a bladder bursts, this ray leaks out and the flier falls.) The 9th ray is never explained in detail, but it's critical for them to use in the atmosphere plant to provide enough oxygen for everything on Barsoom to live."

 

 

anyways gonna check this out soon...........
