As I Listen To The Album Tu-Ner For Lovers (Live)...

[Splicer]

There is just something about this King Crimson inspired sub-genre that makes me feel like I'm simply listening to one long improv randomly cut into separate tracks.

[polmico]

Is that a good thing or bad thing?

I haven’t had a chance to dive in yet, but a cursory listen was good.

I speak for myself but it's difficult to not be able to separate one song from another when I hear them. In all honesty, you could take years worth of this stuff and hit shuffle and I wouldn't be able to tell it apart.

^ They do use a lot of the same textures and sonic pallette.

I think POLE was their best but I have not listened to the latest.

[Dave (in MA)]

I haven't really given Pole and Totem too much of a chance yet, but I really like MÜÜT, ZWAR, T1-Contact Information and T2-Tu-Ner for Lovers. The more improve, the better, for me.

Did they change from Tuner to Tu-Ner because of the lineup change, or did the AI-generated album cover make TUNER come up with TU-NER and they went with that?

I was wondering why its Tu-Ner also. To be honest the whole latter day Crimson inspired and connected crowd is not something I usually go to.. I need to have a listen to Tuners new album. I know Markus Reuter and Pat are both "bona- fied"

[Rick L.]

Tu is Trey and Pat. Tuner is Pat and Markus. Tu-Ner is all three.

Aaaaahhh! That makes sense... I saw Trey play during the TCoL tour He was amazing. So Markus is not in Tu-Ner then.

Re-read what you quoted.

[Nijinsky Hind]

I stand corrected, and I bet you've been waiting all week to use that meme. Follow me around, I am certain to misunderstand something else soon.

I love POLE! But that one does not have much improvisation.

(And yes it is Tuner not Tu-Ner album.)

And album FACE (2017) was released under the name "Pat Mastelotto & Markus Reuter". That was pretty odd.

Maybe that’s why I like it, I’m ok with improv but I prefer a structured and purposeful song these days. No doubt about the talent. Top notch. Substance is another thing.

Although the line-up is closest to ProjeKct Three, I was hearing something closer to ProjeKct One delivery.

Those guys are so artsy.

You're not allowed to use that word unless you follow it with "fartsy."

It's the law.

In space, no one can smell you fartsy.

What about black holes?

Except for you, inside your own space suitsy.

Is "these days" because we're getting old? I feel the same way about Henry Cow, and I attribute that (at least partly) to a similar process.

I have to admit yes, because I’m getting older. I’m listening to 21 Pilots “Trench” right now. Brilliantly crafted songs. And I feel a progressive vein running through them. This is an “album”! Fantastic. Young men, great music. New and unusual melodies and sounds….Surprising the heck out of me.
