I'm back, /mu/. You know the drill; use these lyrics for your music player or whatever, and maybe help me finish Topical Solution and Constellations? Okay.
And Duster general, I guess.
Contemporary Movement's digipak.
Diamond is missing, can't help you guys there.
contemporary movement is the better album
>>63763519
i wish you guys would stop posting this album so much
the faggots on this board are going to turn it into the next long season
Aaaaaand some attempts at deciphering 1975.
MEMPHIS SOPHISTICATE:
I can't get it out
The way I'd like to put it down
The way I hear it in my head
When I cannot sleep
Or cannot awake
It's clouds
Across the sky
The moon can hide
Behind
You'll never hear it like I do
When the brakes give way
And the engine stalls
Dropping out
Fading out
Burning out
AND THINGS (ARE MOSTLY GHOSTS)
Are you compelled
Enough to leave your seat?
Nothing like what makes
The good books good
Cannot help but believe in those curves
And make a habit of having that happen
Celebrity fever draws me to you
Clear crystal compound
From head to toe
Hold on to me
One hundred years
Into orbit
[Song's easily as good as the best stuff from Stratosphere, by the way.]
WANT NO LIGHT TO SHINE:
Who is she?
Bearing your love?
Again
Save us...
Finish it...
Close to me...
[Like before, criminally underrated. Possibly the most beautiful song Duster recorded.]
>>63763830
I honestly haven't seen it in a few weeks. It reached its peak in January/February, and kinda died down after that.
Also,
>caring what /mu/ thinks about something you like
And have a mobile wallpaper, on me!
>>63763995
thanks dude. saved
i hate to be this douche, but does anyone have mega links for any of their other albums or ep's besides stratosphere? every link in the archive has been deleted
>>63764021
I know there's a massive slowcore link that has everything in it. All Duster, Valium Aggelein, etc.
It was working like two weeks ago, I snagged some Bluetile Lounge albums from it. I'll try to find it.

thanks anon. you are a real human bean
hey, this is what i have tried to decode from topical solution:
hands used to turn it on or turn it up
maybe sometimes turn it off
when it gets too late
the enemy is ????
hair is on fire
the hat’s unbecoming
cautious
so rock out, rock out, rock out, rock out
and all the kids fell out
the ??? story
sharing ??? the magazines
we all turn out to be crazy
in the middle of the night
don’t ???
the wheels on the wagon
turn off and turn out
??? i can see the topical solution
no one shouted before like them
>>63764353
fuck you are better than me at this i am sorry
>>63763830
Hey, fuck you man. I may never have heard this album if it wasn't posted here.
If just one person discovers and loves a new band then a thousand shitty memers don't matter.
this is my favorite album ever.
topical solution is the best song of all time.
>>63764416
exactly...
>>63764371
It's alright, man. It took me fucking forever to get it as good as it is. I used my nice Sennheiser's with the vocals EQ'ed to death, and had to play it at least fifty times.
Although,
>the hat's unbecoming
I kek'd.
>>63764416
>If just one person discovers and loves a new band then a thousand shitty memers don't matter.
why does it always seem like Duster has the best fanbase on /mu/?
>>63764520
there's no air of pretentiousness
people simply recognize it as good and do not compete with others as to whether it's "patrician" or not
>>63764552
people who compete on music are lames lol
>>63764520
They're the hero /mu/ deserves...
>>63764416
I fuckin love you man
>>63763519
Does anyone have any album art for on the dodge or the demos collections?
Hey, can someone clarify the tracklisting for Hier Kommt der Schwartze Mond?
The Discogs tracklisting is as follows:
1. Hier Kommt Der Schwartze Mond
2. Abheben In Stereo
3. Feuerprobe / Feuertaufen
4. Die Wolken Werden Stufenleitern Absinken
5. Triumph Der Metall Menschen / Durchschauende Meere
6. Frequenzumsetzer
7. Geburt Zum Tod In Zeitlupe
8. Traum Wissenschaftler
https://www.discogs.com/Valium-Aggelein-Hier-Kommt-Der-Schwartze-Mond/release/2269091
The Discogs picture of the back of the LP sleeve has a funny layout, must have confused whoever uploaded the album, because side 2's tracks are listed in reverse.
So are the songs themselves out of order, or just the titles?
>>63764891
Some savvy anon could make one. The Duster font (Futura) is widely available online. Otherwise, no, they're literally just pictures of the blank J-card.
ok so i made a shitty version of on the dodge art
>>63765355
You have inspired me to take a genuine crack at making a good one. Congratulations.
here's one for a san francisco bootleg I have.
I can post the recording as well
>>63765491
Oh shit, please do.
>>63764891
>>63765401
Okay, so here's me completely ripping off the Rarites cover. Oh, well. Maybe they'll look cool next to each other.
>>63763519
>caring about plebshit
Here are my two recordings and another shitty attempt at some art. the seattle recording is from 1998 and san francisco is 1999, there are some unreleased and unnamed tracks. tracks do not have proper tags
http://www4.zippyshare.com/v/OHN9U8eZ/file.html
>>63765601
that looks nice
low earth orbit demos
>>63764891
I use this cover for Experimental Dust
Can someone add the Duster text for it? The font looks shitty of I do it in MS Paint.
>>63765910
Oops
>>63765910
this is the cover I just made for experimental dust
>>63765910
>>63765927
On it.
>>63765927
thats not really a great picture for it, as the font is either ugly or hard to see but here
>>63765959
This one's nice too.
>>63765927
At any rate, here you go.
>>63765927
And I use this one for Low Earth Orbit.
>>63766025
>>63766085
What if, instead of flipping the font, we flip the photo?
>>63766025
>>63766085
Damn my slow reflexes.

this is actually really fun

that's a wrap guys
>>63766387
thank you man
stratosphere is one of my favorite albums of all time
since when did duster have so much other material wtf
>>63766503
We've searched far and wide, anon.
You don't understand how dedicated Duster fans are
>>63766525
i come here every single time theres a thread up but i do that thing where i just passively scroll to the bottom, not taking in what i just saw
actually read the thread and holy hell, you guys are awesome, have to get to listening
Redpill on Experimental Dust. I don't see it on RYM.
>>63766696
It's demos, not sure why it isn't there
>>63763709
here!! i tried doing this before
you know the way before you walk again
the time is nigh, diamonds in the sand
you have the key to anything you want
or aim to find
close up
close up
goes in flows out television light
its now the time for secret hearts again
the sun is gone its changed days again
the darkness in your eye

>>63766403
Where'd you get testphase?
I haven't heard that one before
forgot to do christmas dust, done for real this time
>>63766873
Oh, yes. I remember you.
Good enough for me.
>>63766890
what cd, I haven't listened to it yet, no idea what's on it
>>63766917
: )
This is the only thread I look for. But I have to wait for it. I also tried the phantom facing me since last time:
i turn all the times
this is real life
my pedal's falling apart
like they've always
i think im sleeping now
walking in the darkness
--
which cloak has stretched
the phantom facing me
but it won't be there
to ruin things
"just disappear"
>>63766935
Mind dumping it?
I don't have what.cd
>>63766979

is there just a mega on every thing that duster has released? and why is there not many physical copies of there work sorry, i enjoy duster but now i am actually really appreciating their work.
>>63767268
sorry found the releases in the archive, but why is there not many physical releases?
>>63767262
Off the bat, I think you're right about "cautious".
I'll have to see about the rest.
And guys, I'm just going to make an enormous pastebin tonight with everything you've posted. (Improvements to my lyrics, DL links, album art, etc.) Keep it coming if you want something cool thrown in there, I'll continue to update it.
You're all the best.
>>63767432
duster general literally the best thread on /mu/
>>63767469
Who /dust/ here?
will they every remaster there work :(
>>63767268
>and why is there not many physical copies of there work
They published, produced, and shipped independently.
>>63767554
do you think they will soon do a remaster of all there stuff or will i have to buy $200 lp...
Loving /duster/ general
Please let this be a reoccurring thing
ok guys, a quick reminder : DO NOT mention this in any other thread
we need to keep these small and pure, we have too much good going on to ruin it.
i know that we've had a ton of these and we're fine but i just want to remind you all
Stratosphere feels like this to me
anyone else think cooking is best on contemporary movement?
>>63767626
OP here. It will be. My pastebin is coming along beautifully.
I'm calling it /dust/. If anyone objects, let me know now, because I really like it.

All songs by Duster
©1997 Duster
>Duster were born out of the wreckage of legendary screamo band Mohinder. Duster originally consisted of Clay Parton and Dove Amber, both of whom can pretty much play any instrument that they pick up. The first release they put out was the Transmission, Flux 7" on which they both play the drums, organ, guitar, and sing. There had been one song, the short and sweet "East Reed" that was released before the 7" on the compilation "Patio Collection Vol. 2" on Smilex. They were soon joined by Jason Albertini (original member of Queens of the Stone Age) who came on board when Clay and Dove were nearing completion on Stratosphere. Although for the first full length Jason was only found playing drums on three tracks, for the next release, the "1975" e.p. Jason was also proving himself to be a multi-faceted musician in his own right (although he had already proven this, if truth be told, with other bands that he had been in) adding hammond, rhodes and piano to his drumming as well as sharing the recording/ producing credits with Clay and Dove. When Her Space Holiday purveyor, and friend, Marc Bianchi asked them to release something for his own record label, the three recorded an album under the name Valium Aggelein. With their second full length release as Duster, Contemporary Movement, all three were involved in all aspects of making the album. When not working on songs as a part of Duster, Clay keeps busy with his project Eiafuawn, and plays in a band named El Buzzard. Meanwhile, Jason plays keyboards as a part of Mike Johnson's band. But at this time, Duster are currently working together on new songs and planning to record soon, and their lineup has recently expanded to include friends Krag and Ross, who play guitar and bass.

OP again. Will probably finish the pastebin tomorrow afternoon.
Having never made one of these, is it super tacky to have links going to Wikipedia, last.fm, discogs, etc. Or is that useful information?
I just hit the jackpot for live Duster photos
https://web.archive.org/web/20040905235611/http://www.thestaticcultlabel.com/
>>63767754
This is outstanding.
You really just forgot to add that they were all in VA.
There are others you could add, but they don't really matter.
Dove was in some band recently called Lonnie (something), they were kinda crappy IMO.
Jason has been Built to Spill's main bassist for a while now.
I think he also played with Disco Doom for a while when they toured in the states and there were a few jam band-ish pre-Duster bands (Prime Mover was one, I think).
But like I said they don't really matter and your list is awesome.
I recently picked up Helvetia-A Dot Running For the Dust, their most recent almost-lost record. And it's right up there with my favorite records from my favorite band. If anyone is interested in classic Helvetia please pick it up. Much better than Dromomania IMO.
>>63768979 here, searching through the archives for rare Duster
Goddamn, going through this rabbithole of defunct webpage archives makes me sad.
How long will it be until 4chan turns out to be like one of those defunct websites? What will be it's legacy? Where would we go?
A small memory of what it once was.
We're just building these massive graveyards of of dead websites that once had vibrant communities on the internet and never looking back until it's too late.
What will we be looking back on?
Sorry if I sound like a faggot, but digging up these old sites while listening to old Duster bootlegs is making me feel a bit existential.
>>63763709
what's this font?
duster threads are the best :)
>>63770268
Yes they are.
>on topical solution
The hands had been well used
there were ??? where "well" is
And And the hands had become ???

That's all i got on that song
>>63764021
try rutracker, i think that's what worked for me
>>63767691
I'd go so far as to say it's my favorite duster track ever
I know for a fact that Duster are working on a new album and have plans to reissue old stuff. Straight from the fricking horses mouth
>>63773243
how do you know this? I want to believe
>>63773325
One of the guys who used to be in Duster now tours with Built To Spill, saw them at a gig the other day and went backstage and asked him about it
>>63770143
damn
this
anyone?

FUCK
This is incredible

how?
>>63773325
>>63773463
unless you reply to >>63774403 then I won't believe you
The way this board appropriates bands is disgusting. Literally none of you knew who duster were 5-6 years ago, and now you wank all over them with pathetic, spergy gusto. You're all so fucking clueless and embarrassing.
>>63774557
just disgusting i agree. can we all go back to pretending we like death grips and grimes and not talk about decent music?
>>63774403
Hang around long enough after a gig and you can usually meet them out back of the venue. Met a bunch of musicians this way.
>>63774523
>>63774403
>>63774372
>>63773799
I wouldn't have believed anyone else either, but I have no reason to lie. I am slightly worried they will fuck up their immaculate discography desu

I wrote something on Stratosphere on a mate's blog if anyone's interested. I want to know what people think of my interpretation since no one I know listens to Duster.

Jason plays bass in Built to Spill as well. Not sure how long he's been doing that.

The pastebin's not done. Post it here, and I'll add it.

It will obviously be a huge work in progress.
MEGA FOLDER

Work in process, currently uploading duster albums, and organizing all of the albums I can find related to duster. If anyone has suggestions for related albums to add, tell me
>>63778351
Thank you!
Okay, everyone.
http://pastebin.com/TYMnYcCG
I have no idea if this is the way you guys like these things put together. Feedback is appreciated.
I know a few sections aren't complete. This thing's going to get updated and expanded several times, so bear with me.
The lyric section links to another pastebin that has just about everything that I've posted or someone here suggested, but it will get frequent updates too. At the moment, it looks fantastic.
The discography MEGA is still under construction, but it's there.
I posted a MEGA of my own that has all the album covers you guys made.
Have at it.
>>63778602
>http://pastebin.com/TYMnYcCG
Looks great!
I think you missed some alternate artwork that I made for my seattle and san francisco boots and low earth orbit, which can be found here http://www29.zippyshare.com/v/p2cNbePm/file.html
>>63778602
>>63778840
oh and experimental dust. Also I think low earth orbit is from 2004, at least that's what it says on what.cd
I think these are the lyrics to Echo, Bravo
It's a lot
like before
That was the way
It had to be
It's alright
without me
we can make it on our own
>>63778855
Good to know, thanks. Stuff will get fixed eventually, I'm just not going to make a new pastebin every 5 minutes on the (highly) likely chance I forgot something.
I'll add your pictures, too. My bad.
>>63775004
Read it, and thought you at least deserved a reply. It's pretty cool.
>>63775004
Also, is your name actually 'Tom Gay'?
MEGA FOLDER UPDATE
The Duster discography is fully uploaded, all side projects are being uploaded now
>>63765849
>>63765910
>>63765959
can someone link me to Experimental Dust or LEO demos? They're the only releases from Duster that I know of that I don't have
>>63779802
Because I didn't just create a pastebin with a MEGA folder so people would never have to ask this again.
>>63779282
>>63778351
Greatly appreciated.
>>63779870
I'm sorry ;__;
>>63779102
Yeah, if I was gonna make a joke name I'd at least make it funnier.
>>63766873
>the sun is gone its changed days again
I hear: "the sun (summer's?) gone, can't change it back
If only anyone knew the chords for this song.
>>63781116
It's not about the chords, anon. It's about their sound, what with all the soothing warm strums and the flavor notes they play in between and all. The chords are fairly simple, it's the song in its entirety that's hard to cover properly, or at least IMO.
>>63778602
>>63778840
>>63778855
Also for while Rarities was on what.cd I believe it said it was 2009.
I made another mobile wallpaper. Reeaaaally like this one.
>>63783366
And 4chan destroys it. Damn, I'll try again.
Damn, Stratosphere is so unsettling, it makes me feel like... nostalgic? like I got a time machine and go to the 90's and walk around on a rainy day.... it doesn't make me feel sad but... it makes me feel like giving up... I love the album but it makes me feel strange things
>>63783757
i think it definitely provokes a unique emotional response. the first time i heard it was a really jarring and wondrous experience
>>63783849
I mean Topical solution just fuck me up
argghh its like when you get drunk for the first time
or its like when you try to remember something but you cant, no no no
>>63783757
>>63783849
>>63783893
" Somewhere in the confines between the atmosphere and space lies Duster. Their sound is expansive and broad yet with a tragic sense of being unwillingly contained. They capture a sense of nostalgia and familiarity at the same time as their possession of the sense of fear and hesitation felt in new experiences. With a tragic solemnity, their music conveys a scene of pure exposure on a universal scale."

yeah that makes more sense than what I had. thanks. I kind of know the chords but i believe its impossible to make one guitar sound like the song.
>>63783951
one thing I noticed about constellations that might be the reason why that song sounds so nostalgic in particular is because the guitar riff sounds like a music box. dont know if anyone else thinks that.

it had to fail. otherwise this thread wouldnt make sense
how often will we have a /dust/ thread?

I'd love seeing some but unfortunately if it became a super regular thing then it would probably lead to some negative reactions from the rest of /mu/, people used to have threads to talk about and appreciate Cardiacs and now they're a forced meme labeled with buzzwords with numerous threads made to express negativity towards them.
somebody expand upon what's asked here? >>63788641
What is the 1975 cassette?
