Has anyone heard/been listening to their new album Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots?
Here's the link to the album (you can listen to whole thing through this player Here )
I've been listening to it for a couple days now, and I think it's great.
Anyone else think so? No? Oh, that's okay. |

If you have an oppurtunity to see them live, don't pass it up. |

It's a fine, fine album- there's something about that reminds me too much of Mercury rev. though. |

. | It's hardly - "new"! I've had the CD for a couple of years now!
It was released in the UK in July 2002!!

Mad band live as well - lots of big furry creatures on stage....quite trippy. |

I'm a "Clouds Taste Metallic"/"Transmissions From the Satellite Heart" kinda guy. Seeing them on tour for "Soft Bulletin" was a bit of a letdown, even though it was a fun show. |

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Jan 2004 Location: Indianapolis, IN | | | I love the album, but I kind of wonder how much the production crew added to the record. It seems like if you took out all the space sounds and production it would be a basic folk-rock kind of thing.
Not to dis the band, cuz they're good, but I wonder about this sometimes. Like, for example, what would Wilco's Yankee Hotel Foxtrot sound like without the added production? Would it be as good? I've always sort of been against adding too much production in the studio and trying to capture it through the basic playing of music. But whatever. It's still a fun album to listen to. My favorite on Yoshimi is the second track. | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
