Automatic Thrill

Product Description
With their previous album, Basement Apes (2002), Norway’s reigning guitar kings showed the world that they belonged in the rock’n’roll premier division. Basement Apes sold 17 000 copies in Norway alone, was nominated for a Norwgian Grammy and the band did a sold-out tour during 2002. All of which make the expectations for Gluecifer’s new album Automatic Thrill quite huge; the sound, the songs, the look – it’s all in place and by no means does it disappoint. In fact, it goes above and beyond the call!

Contemporaries of The Hellacopters, The Soundtrack Of Our Lives, Turbonegro, Motorpsycho and that ilk, Gluecifer have been rocking out Scandinavia and Europe for the last ten years and Automatic Thrill is the fifth full length album scattered amongst a shitload of singles, e.p.’s and split recordings. And fresh from an extensive and exhaustive Euro tour with the Monster Magnet machine, Gluecifer are ready to storm North America! Find out what the underground hipsters and those in the loop have known for years and help stamp out the trendy new fashion rock with the real stuff – Gluecifer!

Everything A Rock Band Should Be!!!.......2005-10-23

I just got this CD a week ago and it absolutely smokes!!! Great songs filled with high energy, enthusiastic playing and massive amounts of attitude. Biff Malibu has got that awesome Iggy - Nick Cave style of vocalization. Poon - Useless: rythmic, chock full of thick guitar. As a group, Gluecifer hit their peak with this CD as it is the perfect combination of punk and hard rock. Gluecifer are a really tight band. Again another example of how do it right for young aspiring bands (see: Soundtrack of our Lives, The Hellacopters).

GLUECIFER DON'T MESS AROUND ! ! !.......2004-05-16

These guys always manage to put out some of the most seriously hard driving fuel injected action rock 'n roll on planet earth. If you listen to tracks 5, 6 and 7 and you don't get a jolt of electricity running thru your blood, you must be dead!
The whole CD is awesome!
It's just a shame that the recording industry decides to give some of the poppier bands a shot, i.e: Jet, White Stripes, that other band from Australia, the band whith that annoying singer (the vines? I think it's the name?). Some of those guys are just posers, otherwise they would not be as popular. Record labels want bands to play by their rules.

Gluecifer, Hellacopters, Sewergrooves, Monster Magnet, Zen Guerrilla, etc. and a whole bunch of other bands, deserve to be recognized as the supreme torchbearers of this thing we call rock and roll. RESPECT THE ROCK!

IF YOU REALLY ENJOY ROCK AND ROLL, THE REAL STUFF, BUY THIS RECORD AND SUPPORT THESE BANDS, THEY ARE PUTTING THEIR TWO CENTS SO WE COULD HAVE OUR SHARE OF ROCK AND ROLL FOR A LONG TIME TO COME. DON'T FOLLOW ANY TRENDS, FOLLOW YOUR HEART..... AND YOUR EARS, OBVIOUSLY!

Why do Norwegians rock more than we do?.......2004-04-01

Really! This is a travesty! Norwegian Vikings have plundered the sounds of Detroit Rock City and taken it back to Oslo with them, leaving us with the likes of Brittany Spears and Avril!

Seriously, America needs to get the rock back fast before we are completely consumed by music that is written by robots for children!

Oh, and Gluecifer kicks ass.

Still Kickin Ass.......2004-03-12

Basically, if your a fan of the Norwegian Rock bands such as The Hellacopters, & Backyard Babies then your probably a fan of Gluecifer. This is a great album. It's pure Rock & Roll and doesn't slow down for a second. If you love pure Rock then pick this album up. And if you don't like this album then someone should explain to you what Pure Rock & Roll is.

Maybe it's the space-age, headlong twang that wraps around the near-dub rhythms on "Solaris," but Isotope 217 sound like a band that has succeeded at slipping through the cracks in at least three musical categories. Percussionists Dan Bitney and John Herndon (famed for their work with Tortoise) give Isotope a mathematically complex rhythmic frame, and guitarist Jeff Parker plays a guitar that's the sonic equivalent of clarified butter. But he's a grinder, too, especially on the opened "LUH," which rips and contorts. Then there are the keyboards, burbling and gurgling and popping and bouncing, like some Stereolab session that has broken the pop code and interpolated minimalism, avant-garde electronics, and more. But esteemed jazzbo Rob Mazurek's here on cornet, too, giving a riffing jazz vibe to "Looking After Life on Mars" and inspiring a slow, almost balladic rambling on "Real MC's." Isotope's debut, The Unstable Molecule, might've promised an accurate, precise machine, but Utonian adds a high degree of unpredictability to the formula. --Andrew Bartlett

Isotope's Apex.......2003-11-16

Proving wrong critics who dismissed them as watered down electric Miles, Isotope's second and finest album is one of a handful of examples of a successful and truly organic blend of jazz, rock and electronica, with elements of afro-latin and hip-hop (most of which come from the same circle of Chicago musicians).

Driven by the quirky compositional wits of Mazurek and Parker, Utonian Automatic melts its way from chaotic freak-outs into robotic elegies, always slightly understated.

More interesting than their solid debut, and far stronger than their under-developed third album, this remains the best example of their work.

freaked-out grooves and smooth soundscapes..........2002-06-22

Isotope 217 is always fun, buy all 4 of their albums. I think the cover is a woman lying down with her bush showing.

buy their debut first.......2000-08-12

although this is definitely a good album, it doesn't seem to have the greatness that their previous album had, and the loss of the trombone may be much of the reason why. the more prevalent guitar, although very skillfully done, seems to limit much of what makes this band so great, the sublety that you have with their combination of percussion and keyboards. it is also a little bit more straight forward of an album than the previous one, and makes me think more of a turing machine kind of band than a tortoise kind of band (both of which are also absolutely brilliant). in short, buy the debut (the unstable molecule) first, listen to it for hours on end, feel yourself pick all the perfectly placed notes and quirky rhythms, and then buy this album and see how you feel about it. i think you will say that it is very good but not the first one.

Edgier, but less Innovative.......2000-05-20

After their splendid debut album (The Unstable Molecule), Isotope 217's sophomore effort offers an edgier approach to sound, where a certain sense of true 'rock' abandon prevails. Unfortunately, this provided less focused results, since their past (and definetely groundbreaking) sonic collages were eschewed in favour of rather pointless ventures into atonalism and assorted free-form assemblages. Granted, the percussion interplay is still brilliant and Rob Mazurek's cornet still shines throughout the album, but a recurrent feeling that something's lost along the way pervades. Nevertheless, Isotope 217 rises head and shoulders above the mundane crop of avant ensembles.

The Chicago Boys Are Spreading Themselves Too Thin.......2000-03-16

Don't get me wrong. This isn't terrible, but Isotope 217's The Unstable Molecule (their debut) is a far superior album. Where The Unstable Molecule is a smooth melding of funk and free jazz, this album bogs down in rock-isms and atonal freakouts.

I enjoy challenging music from time to time but this album just is a little much for what you get back as a listener. The sense of fun that pervades the band's previous work is conspicuously absent. Having seen the band on tours for both albums, it is clear to be that they are taking themselves more seriously now, and I'm afraid that this is the root of the problem with this album.

Perhaps the constant recording and collaboration that are the trademarks of the Thrill Jockey label are causing our heroes to lose a little perspective.
