thaemlitz is the man, looking forward to this

yesssssss! i remember hearing about this ages ago. finally some more details, and a release date. I'm going to try to listen to this straight. on and off, nothing else i finish soullessness

im proud to be able to call terre my friend! what a great human being, can't wait to hear some of this music.

woow

wow, wish i didnt have to play yesterday, would have loved to go hear it and him speak.

my god this spam is getting insane

mods do smth wid scumers-spamers

sounds special

Too bad this won't be out in time in December. I would love to get this as a Christmas present...snarky snark snark.

In all seriousness though, the mere fact that soulfulness in the era of capitalism can be commodified implies to me that artistic endeavors at transcendentalism and the production of 'sacred' music for sale are perhaps the most profane, soulless commodities possible. The artist who sells 'soulful' music or music that assumes the affectation of religiosity or sanctity is quite literally selling his/her soul.

I am a long time fan. I will be looking for this when it comes out.

hmm..looks like something worth putting hands on it!

wow, can´t wait for this!

Did this ever get released? The reference on the comatonse website seems to infer that it's still in production. Would be interested if anyone could confirm.

can't wait to play this...may come here !

May 31 guys! [according to Terre's site] http://comatonse.com/writings/2012_soulnessless.html

So so huge.

Album Of The Year.

The bonus remixes are available as 2 x 12" singles and are, of course, fantastic.

I'm glad you did this before you left Todd, its a very good review - thank you.

Here though, and this is a remarkable feat given how regularly this is the case, is perhaps the best example of the redundancy of allocating marks out of five. Thaemlitz's work is well handled over six short paragraphs and that is a tribute to your abilities. Quite what the grading here means I do not know. Are you suggesting its a pretty good record that could be marginally improved? I can't figure what else it could mean, although I'm fairly certain that applying such a pithy exposition to a 29 hour conceptual 'meditation' doesn't really serve your ends here.

The range of music reviewed on these pages, coupled with the similarity and incremental differences in genre render these marks meaningless. They often manage to distract and undermine the writing concomitantly - no mean achievement.

Frankly I hope these marks are scrapped as soon as whoever takes over your job begins work.

to continue 'keeping in line with Thaemlitz's concerns', it would be good to switch comments off and remove the rating.

This is so good. I feel it.

Quite a remarkable release, it seems.Terre's work has always interested me. Looks like I'll have to start saving up.

have been dying for a listen since he told you about this live in Boulder.

nice to see it released ahead of schedule, well done Todd, nice review

Is this review so late because it took the reviewer 6 months to listen to the damn thing?

When radio edit?

pretty late on this

Thanks for clarifying. Sounds incredible...

Don't care too much about this Soullessness project- perhaps it's even a bit too much information? But I will say Midtown 120 Blues is one of best and most important records I've ever listened to. Still on rotation after these few years

When the context of the music effects you beyond just the surface, you know that's art.

Big fan!

yeah.

god terre i love you

The bonus material is absolutely astonishing.

absolute genius!

Does anybody know who did the album art/picture... it really resonates

If you put 'burzum church' or 'norweigan church on fire' into google image search you'll see the same photo. burning churches seems to be a trend among black metal people over there.

Homegurl has a sense of humor.

Not a lot of places selling it at the moment in the uk. Any tips on a nice price? Chemical seem to have sold out.

'you'll sometimes hear the strings of the piano or Thaemlitz's body moving this way or that'

If I'm not mistaken she entirely wrote it on a piano roll so none of this is actually live recorded.

I might be wrong but I think I read that in an interview.

nope. he wrote it on a real grand piano.

ringorider, I always preferred comatonse.com. excellent service from Terre plus a straight support of the artist.

Really? No one is going to comment on how self-indulgent and pretentious a 29 hour track is?

''5.Meditation On Wage Labor And The Death Of The Album'' i need a extended version of this track haahha OR Villalobos 40hs version lol.

fukyng sick album.

another LONG album www.jliat.com/1tb/index.html total playing time: 711 days and 14hrs.
yep.. not bad...

True, just the wait from japan can be a bit long. Although i managed to see a sneaky little copy of Teriko Hystoric Trace there too.
