11. At Odds With Logic

was wondering about those guys recently. Interesting, will be tuning in. Always enjoyed them.

awesome!

January 22nd?!? Eurgh, hate these drawn out release schedules. Excitement dashed by annoyance.

Great track though. Yay.

Awesome news!

Good news but yeah, it's way the fuck out there in future world.

That's one ugly ass cover

TNT and Standards are the dopest shizz I get all hot and bothered just thinking about them.

i really want to put that as my avatar now, but i only just changed it. *sigh*

real nice track, reminds me of of shogun kunitoki with their proggy kaleidoscopic synthwork:

Oh cool. Standards and TNT are great obviously but I really love it's all around you.

I love Tortoise

They're one of the few who meld rigorous composition and electronic music

And the energy of live players

You change avatars more often than I change socks

Need to rediscover Tortoise.

One of the first albums I ever downloaded via Napster was Standards. I just did my homework and confirmed that Napster was born in 1999, Standards came out in 2000 (I remember sitting at the computer and thinking of something leftfield to download lol)

I need to hear TNT, one of those albums that's built of stealth technology as it always seems to float under my radar.

fuck, yes.

this remains one of my favourite live performances of all time

john herndon is an animal.

Standards, for me, really set the bar high for what music can be

Of course MNLWND and TNT are true classics

And Beacons of Ancestorship (or whatever it's called) is an understated, brilliant work

And IAAY is...well, I go back and forth on that one

(The opener is amazing though)

Anyway, glad Tortoise is back in business

They are truly one of a kind

Only just had chance to listen to the track. love it. So glad they are back.

If there is a track on this new album as good as crest i'll be a happy man.

Heard Shake hands with danger from the forthcoming album on public radio this past Friday night. Sweet fucking track. Full excite for the new album.

I can't find the track online yet. Will continue to search.

I totally forgot this was even coming out. flol at 4 month announcement. wtf

Reviews have been very positive on the album. If 1/2 the album is remotely like Shake hands with danger, it's gonna be a real banger. heh.

full album stream here

moderately enjoyable but not really great or exciting.

Were you guys aware that their backcatalog was also being repressed? I had no idea until I saw Bleeps email this a.m. I am buying the fuck out of TNT repress with the quickness

Ah, It's all around you would be lovely on vinyl.

Kinda cool but I feel like I'm listening to a bunch of interludes
