Burnt Posted November 4, 2007 Report Share Posted November 4, 2007 (edited) Their stuff I've heard sounds really interesting. I did email them to find out their taping policy about 2 weeks ago and haven't heard a word from them yet. Bradm you have any answers about their policy?

whiteymuseum Posted November 4, 2007 Report Share Posted November 4, 2007 It's a great band to tape because every show is fantastically different from the next. Much like the movements he makes from album to album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StoneMtn Posted November 4, 2007 Report Share Posted November 4, 2007 I have a disc from 2003 by a band called Manitoba. It's called "Up In Flames". Is that them?I don't think I ever had much interest in it. I don't even know where this CD came from, and I can't remember what it sounds like.I'll have a listen today though.

The Chameleon Posted November 4, 2007 Report Share Posted November 4, 2007 Saw them live and was very unimpressed. Seemed very unfocused. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AD Posted November 4, 2007 Report Share Posted November 4, 2007 I have a disc from 2003 by a band called Manitoba. It's called "Up In Flames". Is that them?yeah that's him. he got sued in 2004 and had to change his stage name from Manitoba to Caribou Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tungsten Gruvsten Posted November 4, 2007 Report Share Posted November 4, 2007 Love em. Liked Manitou better when it didn't sound like Brian Wilson on a synclavier....saw them live a couple times with double drummers and crazy projections, good fun. Yes it's brilliant but you know what? I'm not that big a fan of 'pet sounds' either and it's brilliant...there I said it.Anyways, definitely some cool sounds, manitou hit a bit harder...wasn't until he started trying to sing that the focus was lost...

StoneMtn Posted November 4, 2007 Report Share Posted November 4, 2007 I listened to it today. It's some pretty neat, out there, experimental jazz. It reminds me of John Zorn - light.At times the disc is really good, but I find the songs lack in "going anywhere". I realize it's pretty free-form stuff, but so is Pat Metheny and his songs tend to go somewhere.Truth be told, the disc I have reminds me most closely of a disc by someone who is useless to compare to, named Ken Valitsky, because no one seems to have heard of him. (Anyone who wants a copy of a Ken Valitsky disc, PT me. Maybe I'll get around to sending something.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fluffhead77 Posted November 5, 2007 Report Share Posted November 5, 2007 Dan snaith aka Caribou is unbelievable live. Highly recommended. You or he must have had an off night, Chameleon... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DevO Posted November 5, 2007 Report Share Posted November 5, 2007 Caribou's The Milk of Human Kindness is a brilliant album.. Definitely one of my favourites of last year (or the year before probably). I'm still warming up to Andorra but I am enjoying it so far. (And yes I like Pet Sounds so that helps!)Caribou is in Toronto this Saturday.. I'm hoping to go but not sure yet. I've heard from several people and reviews that the Caribou guys come across as really arrogant as well as boring on stage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whiteymuseum Posted November 5, 2007 Report Share Posted November 5, 2007 Caribou guys arrogant? That's insane. Humble/shy/quiet/border-line walk-all-over-able. That's more like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DevO Posted November 5, 2007 Report Share Posted November 5, 2007 Duly noted Whitey! I'm glad to hear something positive about them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tungsten Gruvsten Posted November 5, 2007 Report Share Posted November 5, 2007 yeah really don't get my comment wrong, i'm talking solely about the sound of the new album - the couple shows I saw were high energy sweat-a-thons for the performers - lotsa energy, and they were totally down to earth....

Ol'Hickster Posted November 5, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2007 (edited) Sweet sounds like I know where ill be Saturday night Then. Thanks all for the comments and thoughts!

SaggyBalls Posted November 7, 2007 Report Share Posted November 7, 2007 Unfocused?It's entirely intentional.I saw them first at Lees for the Up in Flames tour. they played in sequence and have huge arrangements for samples, guitar, 2xdrums, and vocals. this time through they havbe a bass player and sound waaaay more 60's psych pop.they're doing their own thing and are well worth any efforts the chameleon will urge you to save.
