Giant Robot? Stupido Records? Can I consider his new 3 hour album a 2007 release?

The album is called “New Album.” It’s like a haunting Euro-intellectual skeletalectronic analogue of LCD Soundsystem; three (digital) albums on one disc — one regular studio album, one more ambient, the third (totalling 1.5 hrs) recorded live at a dinner party in 2002. I’ve seen both 2006 and 2007 for release dates; if the latter, it’s my favorite album of 2007 so far.

oh yeah and he covers a sinead o’connor song on it and also incorporates “careless whisper” at the end of a nine-minute industrial dronethump song

I don’t know about his solo album, but Giant Robot is kinda anemic downtempo/hip hop type of act. The album came out here a couple of months ago, and it didn’t get too many good reviews. Maybe I ought to give it a try even though I hate his parent band.

The dude also has an degree on architecture and acts as a sort of a all-purpose commentator on urban matters in different media. He seems like a smart guy.

Tuomas, I knew you would come through for me!

c’mon, this is parody, right?

only of you, babe, only of you

no seriously that’s what it is like! on further listens it might not be so hot but i was not kidding about what it is

the deal-broker for me was ‘live at a dinner party’...

it’s probably not that bad really, just that it sounds just a tad ludicrous at first, not unlike many of my own favourites! :-)

oh i’m certain it’s ludicrous; i haven’t listened to that last track yet because i am frightened of it

Can’t be THAT terrifying! Ninety minutes of “Pass the salt” in Finnish with a bit of ambient dibbly-doob in the background isn’t gonna give the kids nightmares, is it?

...IS IT???

I’m 18 minutes in right now and I have heard neither the clink of silverware nor the supping of soup.

Satie would protest.

the first 30 minutes probably constitute the playing of grace

okay, finished this. it was only 1 1/2 hours but it seemed like longer...and yet shorter too.
