For more than 20 years this was my favorite 'group' of musical artists. Then... they just stopped trying...?
I don't read interviews or keep up on any news outside of an artists album releases, but they went from revolutionizing (and I don't use that word lightly) electronic music with Classical Mushroom, to discovering whole new landscapes of sound, and bordering electro-pop, with Converting Vegetarians, and after that everything they released was unimaginative, repetitive, droning drivel. What happened?!

WHAT??? Tatu broke up? How will I masturbate to shitty russian electro-pop now??


Close your eyes? (by which I mean it all sounds the same)

Just because it is 'electronic' doesn't make it techno. Techno to me means, euro-trash shit building to a crescendo over 15 minutes. This is just a good electro pop song.

80's electro pop had a resurgence, and since maybe 2004 can be regularly heard in the mix at clubs and 'cool' bars.
They keep on playing the entire Talking Heads 'Stop Making Sense' soundtrack at a bar I go to a lot... not that I'm complaining, but, I mean, there's new music thats drum-heavy, synth/electro-heavy, psychedelic-influenced stuff out there... was listening to the last Bear in Heaven and Deerhunter albums today at work, for instance. Same story with 80's electro pop.
... wow, wondering comment...


I wish Bear in Heaven's albums sounded a bit more like their live shows - they kick it up substantially in concert!

since when is it creepy for some 50+ yr old dude with a comb-over + pedophile mustache, to send a video birthday greeting to a 22yr old Japanese electro-pop musician, chewing gum while randomly splicing it with a picture of some tree squirrel, briefly wear a squirrel-mask, offering chocolates to her, and then photoshop-ing a screenshot of her face as though they ate it, pretending to be interrupted by answering a wrench instead of a mobile phone, then acknowledging the background music and pretending to dance with a facial cut-out of her (laminated too), of which there could be many more... whilst, viewers aren't aware if this is the love of an admirer or a father or a lover, or all three?

How long before some idiot adds this to the gay channel? Let's just see...

Far as the record goes, I don't care for the electro-pop flavor. I prefer it when they play their guitars.

ahh yes, 'goodbye horses'...

i didn't see silence of the lambs until i was a teenager, and I remember climbing through the credits to find the name of that ultimate 80's depressing-electro-pop song I had heard Bill jamming out to in the nude and making a mental note to find that on tape one day.

some really cool stuff; i forget how cool some of Midlake's tracks are. thanks for sharing.

Ah, I forgot to vote, thanks for reminding me hope it becomes sifted this time (or requeue?)..

Welcome to the sift, if you're uploading vids like that, I'm sure that you have good enough taste to do very well on here. Just find some vids uploaded by others, and sift'em up. I look forward to seeing what you find.

Cheers.
