This page is run by an actual member of the actual band. We started in 1991 or 1990. I can't remember the first time I played with Clem, but we definitely played a show in 1991. Now? IT IS ON LIKE THE KONG OF DONKEY.
merci pour l'ajout! Beaucoup de plaisir à l'écoute de votre univers musical, en espérant pouvoir vous écouter un de ces jours à Lille ou dans le nord de la France! cheers
Thanks for the add guys,your record 'lifelike' and tortoise's 'millions now living....' blew my mind back in the late 90's and i still play them both today.Great work.
"digame" and "the fortunate one knows no anxiety" are really frustrating songs because of the downbeat placement and i think you guys did that on purpose YOU JERKS.
oooo-eeee!!! Thanks a lot for accepting me as one of yr friends...appreciate it!! I positively like yr music and bought “answers” yesterday!!! What can i say? Better I keep my mouth shut. Let the music do the talking. Gosh, hopefully I will see you guys performing live....any plans? Keep up the great work!!!! Cheers and greets from Frankfurt Nils.
I still wear the blue Ui tee from the Stereolab tour, though at this stage in its stubborn durability it has become sleepwear. I still remember your graceful stomp that night. At one point, Sasha strode up to the single synth you guys had onstage and knob twitched it into a blurt-n-sweep that randomized as a bed to the taut esemble precision that followed. Later, I saw you guys loading your gear into a stationwagon and taking off into the grimy Atlanta night. Back in those quasi-utopian days (1993 perhaps?), when rock was no longer a dirty word as long as "post" served as absurd modifier, Ui was one of the first American bands that understood how to apply the grit 'n lysergia of dub and meta digital-analog sonic transfiguration to the streamlined-yet-placidly-convoluted metrics of Jaki Liebezeit/Liquid Liquid/ESG and the deep voodoo funk of Miles' "Dark Magus." In other words, you guys were the shit. Detachment was not in your vocabulary; electro-acoustic boom bam and JBs swing was. Inspirational...
