Casino Versus Japan - tba

Wow, the samples on Myspace sound great! Just what I would want his music to evolve into. Very dreampoppy and lush without being cheesy (like Mr. Schnauss can be sometimes).

*waits patiently*

Ooh, those loops are tasty!

First one really remind of the trippy gorgeousness of Stolen.

"i am working obsessively on finishing my new album. I have about sixty new songs either finished or sketched out. needless to say, labels willing, 2008 should see a limited release of some of them."

a limited release? wtf, I thought Casino was fairly popular, he should be at any rate

no im not trying to score any points i did ask you in your other thread but you didnt say nothign.

im your friend.

oh ... well as i said in that thread, i don't talk to him 'constantly', we've just sent a few emails back and forth

Anyone know what the current situation is regarding this?

Those very nice new samples disappeared from his MySpace page some time ago.

No idea, I want to see him put out his work though ):

i was just thinking about cvj earlier today, like, has it really been four years since that split EP with freescha, wtf

Yeah, long time right?

Sorry if the title is a bit misleading...

 

Surely we should be hearing something by now? Erik said it would probably drop in the Fall - so I wonder what has happened to it?

CVJ is starting to have a release schedule like BOC.

Adds to the mystery, I suppose.

WHAT THE FUC-- EXPLOOOSIIOOON

i think he is down to do it.. the above is a reply to a blog that had posted all his releases... and he is playing his first ever gig in 8 years this forth of july in lexington kentucky.. according to his myspace. SO EXCITED>.

oh wow, I'm going to try to get my friend to tape that for me then lol

woah,, you should try for sure.. he says that it is going to be a jam of new stuff that is not from his upcoming lp..."one off gig..." if you could manage it you'd be a hero!!!!

Man it'd take some balls to go through with a 5 or 10 or 24 cd release, I hope he does it simply for the brazenness, especially if there's another 5 year cvj hiatus to follow. At the same time he's not exactly a household name so I can't imagine there'd be much to lose. I'm not really into Pan Sonic but their 4 CD concept album was impressive with each disc sort of permutating into the next... I liked that Autechre also chose to release quite a lot with Quaristice, though it was unfortunate that so much of it was just subtle variations of tracks, which left a lot of people feeling like they were bilked into buying the same thing multiple times (at this stage I'm actually quite happy to have missed out on the steel case deluxe edition).

I'm sure there are a lot of other deluge releases (electronic or otherwise) that I can't think of at the moment... anyway this type of shit would be pretty cool provided it's half decent (I can't imagine this not being the case), I like how it'd force you to plan/adjust your intake of the music, as in you could gorge on the discs in succession or ration them out across the span of several weeks, giving each one a rotation for a while, etc.

Mmm... Impressive words from Erik.

Let's see how that all pans out because until now he hasn't released anything whatsoever in the past five years despite promising otherwise.

analord!

and yes, it'll be great if he can actually manage to do this. atlas sound is a fan of cvj, so that collab sounds believeable ...

Really funny this thread goes three years back and we still haven't seen anything.

Listening to those demo pieces that appeared briefly on his Myspace page back in 2007.

Hope they appear in some form on the new album.

it's coming !!!! he played two shows at the CMJ fest this october, the july forth show, and now he has a gig next week in NYC with A Sunny Day in Glasgow,,, !!!! something is brewingmmm, .
