I want panda standing drums again :'(

Posted: **Wed Dec 13, 2017 4:10 am**

Unless he’s doing shit in studio I don’t think he’s coming back

Posted: **Wed Dec 13, 2017 4:25 am**

why

am for jeremy on records/in studio tho

Posted: **Wed Dec 13, 2017 5:18 am**

It'll probably never happen but Avey, Deaks AND Panda all on guitar with Hyman playing drums and Geo doing EVERYTHING else would be a complete fucking dream

Posted: **Wed Dec 13, 2017 3:52 pm**

^ I want this!

Posted: **Wed Dec 13, 2017 7:49 pm**

I'll have what he's having

Posted: **Thu Dec 14, 2017 11:38 am**

I want Deakin on cello, Panda on contrabassoon, Avey on french horn and Geologist conducting

this guys got some ideas man

Posted: **Thu Dec 14, 2017 4:50 pm**

Deakin should play the tiniest instrument since he's the tallest one. Deakin on piccolo, Panda and Avey on dueling fiddles, and Geologist on slap bass (as heard in Goalkeeper).

Stage setup: Geologist in the center, Panda and Avey on either side of him staring menacingly at each other, Deakin dancing jovial circles around all three.

Same set up as PW but with Deakin just riding a scooter around

Posted: **Thu Dec 14, 2017 7:54 pm**

Genuine laugh

Posted: **Thu Dec 14, 2017 9:54 pm**

Equally genuine applause

Posted: **Thu Dec 14, 2017 10:48 pm**

I try not to have super specific expectations like this but think it’d rule if they did something like

Geo: Modular synthesizer
Deakin: Piano
Avey: Acoustic guitar
Panda: modular synthesizer

Spiritual successor to Eucalyptus/Sleep Cycle, Kinda how Painting With was kinda Slasher Flicks/PBMTGR

Posted: **Sat Dec 16, 2017 7:18 am**

that's actually a pretty realistic idea, that would be really cool

Posted: **Sat Dec 16, 2017 4:19 pm**

Yeah I would be into that line up

Posted: **Mon Jan 01, 2018 10:06 pm**

AC should join forces with a classical indian raga group for an album and make bliss

Posted: **Sat Jan 06, 2018 10:22 pm**

I'm voting Sonny and Jeremy out

Yeah, that would be amazing. I feel like there will be some equally interesting features on it too. And it's always been a high hopes, but it would be so cool to hear like, a chamber orchestra or a quartet that wasn't a sample. Always a classy touch, but maybe too out of character for the boys.

Posted: **Sun Jan 07, 2018 2:38 am**

Can they revive the masks and paint ?

Posted: **Sun Jan 07, 2018 9:34 am**

I think it'd be great if they again integrated the electronics into live instrumentation. That's something they did exceptionally well across a range of albums and something which made them sound so unusual and brilliant. Too much character for pure electronics but too alien for a guitar band. Obviously, loads of bands try to integrate synthesis but AC do it better than anything else I've heard. MPP live was probably the peak being they had sampled themselves and then played the samples live. CHz was - for me - least successful because they sounded like an indie rock band with squiggles over the top, which are ten a penny.

As much as the guy is an absolute dong, I think Fovrodi is onto something there.

Posted: **Sun Jan 07, 2018 9:36 am**

I appreciate that Stan

Posted: **Sun Jan 07, 2018 9:38 am**

Any time. Let's hope they take the advice. That's the main reason I post what I do, to influence their future output, even if subconsciously.

Posted: **Sun Jan 07, 2018 2:16 pm**

Lol

I feel like if Avey and Deaks were playing guitar and piano between them it would be the other way around?

Posted: **Sun Jan 07, 2018 3:59 pm**

Good point, but Deakin is no stranger to the piano/synth. He played electronics on HCTI, some of his solo tracks and more recently at Coral Orgy and that Tony Conrad Tribute Jam.

Expect the unexpected

Posted: **Sun Jan 07, 2018 9:42 pm**

For sure but I wasn't saying I don't think Deakin can play or has ever played piano. Or that Avey can't play guitar well. I guess I am pigeonholing them a bit though, a lot of it is more to do with just how enthusiastic each of them is feeling about playing whatever instrument and no one can predict that.

Isn't there that video of Geo and Deakin jumping where Deaks on piano? And I'm pretty sure I saw some mic setups he had near a piano in some instagram photos. Plus there's piano licks in Just Am. I assumed that's him. I think they half know a lot of instruments like any intrepid songwriter would.

Lol best new username since 'Stanshant'

Posted: **Mon Jan 08, 2018 1:48 am**

Feel like with that setup they’d be able to finally do Working->Tantrum Barb live

Posted: **Mon Jan 08, 2018 3:21 am**

Maybe next album will harken back to an Automine setup, with Panda on bass and Jeremy on drums

I'm saying from what I can tell I assume Avey is still more experienced on piano than Deakin, relatively speaking, so when it comes to assigning them instruments over a whole tour that just seems more likely to me.

I could be wrong and I know zero about what instruments each of them are actually keen to play at the moment.

Hey guys! Fitting with the general vibe of the thread, I reckon a return to the weirder, more obtuse and organic side of things is looking likely and would be incredible. In an ideal world we'd see a cross between all the gorgeous more acoustic stuff from Feels (especially the detuned piano) and the weirder side of the modular world they're clearly pretty into. I'd say Sleep Cycle/Feels/Eucalyptus meets James Holden and the rest of Border Community sort of thing but it's 2018 and there isn't enough good left in this world for something that perfect.

Posted: **Sat Jan 13, 2018 10:45 am**

I wouldn't mind more improvisation

Or just a whole set of noise

Just give me crack

Please

Thank you

This should be a interesting year

Homies did not disappoint

Posted: **Sat Jan 13, 2018 8:16 pm**

i'd love something slower and more minimal which i think is the current trend in their music right now

Posted: **Mon Jan 15, 2018 12:56 am**

i'd love them to go thisz:
