Silent Shout Deluxe
< author: g booker >
July brings a release I know Krystle and I have been waiting for nearly a year now. The Knife’s “Silent Shout” was my number 4 best album of 2006. Of releases last year, that and Scott Walker’s “The Drift” are still routinely on my playlists and in an uncanny, terrifying place in my heart. Sure, they creep me out, but in such a good way I love them like brothers who just may be killing those children on the tundra if its not the Wendego. On the seventeenth (and they really should break industry tradition and put it out four days earlier, because this is the kind of release that deserves a Friday the 13th) Mute Records brings “Silent Shout - Deluxe Edition” to North America. It is rare that an album is so great and bottomless that it can get away with the DVD trick of making us buy it again because of new special features. But, man, what special features! The three disc collection not only includes a whole nother live CD, it also comes with “Silent Shout: An Audiovisual Experience.” In addition to videos that have already made my nightmares better, it also features the live show that has been compared to everything from the Blue Man Group to the “Silencio” sequence in David Lynch’s “Mullholland Drive.” Thank you Dreijers.

i didn’t really like this release when i first heard it but then i went and saw Miami VIce and had wished The Knife had done the soundtrack and in such thought process came to love the album. everyone should give all music a second chance, except pop punk. you pretty much know in the first 30 sec if that shit is good or not. Like The Ergs! only pellet guns at an early age could produce such fine ass kickers.

krystle, its announced on a website. i think it’s legit.
david, we should make a hyperviolent stylish digital movie in blacklight with 808s and synths instead of guns. is wednesday good?

will people receive death by synth? or will we shake the underground synth world? i am into it so long as there is a love triangle. love triangles usually add another 6 mil at the box office.

how about a sort of bumbling cupid who makes 3 or more people fall into awkward arrangements of love and misunderstanding with a ping on his digital triangle?
i’m thinking of this movie looking like “tron” but in the actic setting of “john carpenter’s the thing”. synths will shoot neon animated lasers that will engulf people in psychedelic light and then they just dissapear.
