Kinetic Ideals

Postby British » Tue Sep 26, 2006 11:52 pm

So I randomly found "Me and the Sky" on my iPod, and really liked it.

Much to my delight, they are from Mississauga, Ontario. I once met an dancer from there. That's close enough to Toronto for me! As being described as Canada's answer to Joy Division, I don't know if I would go that far. Its just as dark though. I like the oddball melody.

Of course, searching on Soulseek yielded bupkis. So who's got what from them?

Kinetic Ideals released 3 ep's and a very tough to find 7" on Manequin Records. Their stuff is really hit or miss IMO, either I love it or I can't listen to it. A comparison to Joy Division may be a bit generous...although their better material is quite good.

Ep's are really without title, but usually get the title of the A side song on the ep.

Man - EP1 Absurdity (also Fire ep)
Man - EP2 Angular Sky
Man - EP4 A Personal View

7"

Man - 0002 Life in Shadow

Me and the Sky is from A Personal View...I think MSK posted the songs from that ep earlier this year. Kinetic Ideals seem to be better known in Europe than here.

Here's "In a Second" - also from MSK. I really dig this tune -- more early Midnight Oil than Joy Division to me. But I've got strange ears...

Man,i remember hearing of these guys/gals(?) playing around Detroit all of the time,way back in the early/mid 80's. I think i have a tape of a Radio show called Dimensins on WDET where they are listing a live show by them.
