Guest maus Posted December 5, 2009 Report Share Posted December 5, 2009 the new LP "24-7" is pretty groovy in parts. they abide by fairly standard techno rules for the most part, but mix it up just enough to keep in interesting, to my ears. they're also fairly strict analogue purists, if i recall. that's fairly evident in the new disc... plenty of uneven squealy anomalies in the sounds. it can get a fair bit repetitive for some i'm sure, but also keeps the head bobbing. also, you have to try pretty hard not to wince at the lyrics. sneed.

QBLA Posted February 25, 2010 Report Share Posted February 25, 2010 when they first started, there were like 9 people in the group. and only like 2 or 3 of them did the music. the rest were singers, performance artists, designers, photographers, video directors, etc. Now there's only 3 official members. i do miss the dude that sang falsetto and the girl from the first couple of albums. and most recently the earth girl who was on the previous 2 albums is no longer with them, i liked her voice as well. but the new album is pretty tight. reminds me a little of a more upbeat "gusgus vs. t-world" with vocals.

On 12/4/2009 at 7:34 AM, Z_B_Z said: the woman decreased in hotness, if in fact thats the same one from the video not the same girl. the two guys that does the music are basically the main members of gusgus. daniel agust was a founding member aswell. then left for a couple of albums but did guest vocals on a couple of tracks in the last few albums. and he is now back in the lineup full time again. it's just 3 of them now. they started out as a 9 or 10 piece on the first couple of albums. that robot dancing guy was one of the singers also on some of the tracks from the first 2 albums. he sang on VIP (one of my favorite gusgus tracks). i miss that dude, but i think he's doing his own thing in iceland now. Z_B_Z: i'm not going to wonder why you wouldn't like that vid performance, to each their own. but i find that performance fantastic. especially around the 9 minute mark when they all go buck wild... i saw them do 2 different versions of this track as i seen them twice live and both times i was jumping around.

KGW Posted February 28, 2010 Report Share Posted February 28, 2010 Their latest album is actually very decent if you like sparse analogue techno at all. Some of it is fairly cheesy I guess but I'm willing to overlook it. I've seen vids of their live new live show as well and it looks cool as fuck.
