Nah, even Toby was sick of having to do that shi[size=2]t[/size] live, which is why there's no/very little keyboard on Dowsing which is clearly a stripped down album for live playing.

I don't think I can ban. :(

What did you do?

EDIT: Oh right the spam.

I can ask for an unban whatever

Dude. Someone else told me it was you?

Yeah you're unbanned now anyway. :)

Yeah I really like the trumpet solo and the guitar comping definitely shows a different side to that part of the song. On the studio version, it sort of reminded me of an epic prog interlude, the live version seems much more Kayo Dot.

I can't wait for the new record.

Heard muffins are making an apperance.

That makes sense.

mufin pickin up lance

Ok, after re-listening to Kayo Dot, I've decided that Choirs of the Eye is fantastic, the first half of Dowsing... is great, and everything after _ On Limpid Form blows nuts (including their part of the split with Bloody Panda). Since when did they become a drone band, anyways? Ok nevermind, the last 3 minutes of "Don't Touch Dead Animals" is at least interesting.....so great, less than 30% of the song is worthwhile. I don't like the direction they're taking. :(

uh

Dowsing anemone is great

lol

:mad:

Sorry, Ray did it to pixies and it was a major pwn.

However, I do quite agree with you.

I know that was the best own in quite a while.

Yeah, I actually contemplated leaving the site.

Oh, please don't!

:(

lately I've become really enamored with Dowsing, much more than I ever had been. To me it takes even longer than Choirs of the Eye to really get into, but it's a great album through and through.

yeah, I read an interview where Toby was like 'all these faggots think that dowsing is harder to get into than choirs of the eye, which is odd because it was a live performance whereas choirs had more overdubs' or something like that.

I agree with you Kage. hell, I'm still getting more and more into all kayo dot stuff, but dowsing seems like the hardest album to enjoy.

Dowsing is probably my preferred Kayo Dot. So, brilliant and beautiful.

Choirs was easy to be honest. I think Dowsing is a more challenging, eclectic record overall. I also am growing to really like its stripped down sound a lot. A lot of good trumpet playing on there. There are certain parts which don't catch your attention at first but after many, many listens it starts to convey something you somehow missed before.

I listened to it high last night, and that **** is killer.

And this video: [url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ticUb_xx7eI[/url], oh my god, so intense.

Aura is definitely the weakest track on it though.

Yeah, definitely one of my favorite trippin bands. I wish I got high more often again.

Based on that video, Aura is better live. But I like the song better than Imortelle, but not by much.

I especially like the part on Imortelle where the double bass starts coming in.

Imortelle is so utterly perfect. Aura is kinda drifty in the middle.

Amaranth the Peddler probably has the best lyrics oat. I love the vampire selling his wares part, classic.


I'm pretty sure that the end of Aura has a good bit of improv, would you happen to know for sure jarred?


I think my favorite moment of Dowsing is during Immortelle when the bass and reverb guitars come in. As per usual, perfect note choice. Pretty curious as to what the spinny-sounding thing is throughout.

It's too bad they lost Greg, he was a real asset I think.

Yeah that's the part i was referring to as well. It's perfect.

EDIT: I think we're talking about the same part.

I think Toby once said in an interview that all of Dowsing was meticulously composed sans the spacing between moments. Don't take my word for it though.

I think they could stand to open it up to a little more spontaneity.
