Love this man! Mind Bomb is da bomb!

Saw The The performance on Saturday, you can not get a better gig, especially in a smaller venue. Just Brilliant

👍

Resonates so much with me. Recording secretly in the night Sotto Voce to avoid waking other occupants of the house.... finally got round to public release this year 35 years late. music.ruclips.net/channel/UCjdgDbsKPx1icE052xrGfyw?feature=shared (Solo) And with band music.ruclips.net/channel/UCybybkemvKeJzqvp_quzvGA?feature=shared Many years worth of releases to come every week until we finish our re-union album later for an early 2025 release. Have a listen to some of these post-punk tracks. Loved your music since the first album which I bought because of the cover art 😂

His new lp is fantastic

So grateful for Matt Johnson & The The. Their music has been the soundtrack of some glorious and heinous parts of my life. It's a blessing to be able to turn on their music and sing and listen and fall into it, get lost....until it's time to face life again. Can't wait to see them in a couple months in Chicago ❤

I saw a DM thread where this Twitch fella was trying to get someone to commit suicide. Really a vile person.

Giant.

I am so ready for the release of Ensoulment in September.

Matt is one of the most consistently visionary and interesting creative talents of my lifetime. Some of his albums are timeless and that manifests as having the appearance of being almost prophetic. In that regard, Mind Bomb stands out to me, lyrically speaking it is utterly modern. I am trapped in two minds about his body of work. On the one hand I wish there were a lot more people capable of producing that kind of sophisticated brainfood. On the other hand, if it were more commonplace, Matt's work might not stand out as being so exceptional. Thanks, uploader. Excellent interview.

He infected me from the get go

What a beautiful speaking voice he’s god. Mega talented man.

Ever since I heard the single on the Some Bizarre compilation I bought when I was in England in 1985, I have felt a real connection to Matt that I can't even explain except to say that his music resonates with me beyond anything else I've ever heard. All of it. Thank you Matt!

Funny to read that last comment … exactly the soundtrack of my life!

Infected totally turned my music taste on its head when it came out

,,, massive respect,, greatings from berlin ...

Inspiring to go DIY and create something that means something to yourself, wether that be audio, visuals etc……..

*It's very interesting to know that TG were a major influence on the style of playing Johnny Marr used to play, along with the lyrical way employed by Morrissey in The Smiths*

I met c and c after a concert in San Francisco 1987- (we posed as a radio station interview). Also Cosey responded personally to my fan club mail, (asked where I could get “the need” on vinyl). Exotica was such a cool album for the time, 1988....and that b side “workout”, we put it to a cartoon for a video. Groundbreaking stuff!

“Dusk” is the finest audio art ever created.

For someone who talks about doing something on his own, he has always been able to bring all the big guns to work on his projects.

Genuinely nice guy, if we had people like him as politicians we'd be in a much better place.

These two distinct British citizens have been a great source of inspiration to yrs trly since November 1978. It's July 2023 and i'm still yet to be artistically disappointed by their work (even though i'm sure I shan't) .

No mention of Jools Holland?

What a humble fella. Enjoy listen to him....always

Soul Mining, was such a wonderful record, I discovered it late in 1988 while I was in college, and I have to say I knew about The the from the infected album I think that was an '86 but I just wasn't into it,

Wait, Matt Johnson can smile? What in the world is happening!

Soul Mining was introduced to me by my first true love ❤️ and I am forever indebted

I wonder if he was mates with Steve millander and caberet Voltaire . Brilliant

Legend.

wow crap sound

less is more (if you knoworrimean)

Great Artist's,I am Italian,

Love his description of Robert Rental’s music as “Soul Music.” It’s true. It’s very emotional and darkly gorgeous. “Double Heart” is one of my all-time favorite songs. Grateful to Twitch for putting out the Different Voices for You, Different Colours for Me: Demos 1980 LP.

The first The The 7” single and Matt Johnson’s “Burning Blue Flame” LP (both on 4AD) are a couple of my favorite overlooked Post-Punk gems. It’s great to hear him speak about that time and his influences, etc. It’s not surprising that he was inspired by “Private Plane”. His Gadgets band/project had a few excellent albums as well. “Giant” is my favorite track on Soul Mining and I often play it in DJ sets.

Soul Mining changed my life...end of story.... :o)

One of my favourite artists ever!

Brings me back to the 80's while I was in the military.

anybody know what "private play" he was talking about?

One of the best lyricists ever. I want "Love is stronger than death" to be played at my funeral.

Man this is a treasure trove to watch. Thank you for inspiring me Matt Johnson. Burning Blue Soul, I mean . . off the scale foundational.

Saw The The in the late Nineties when he made a gig in Florence Italy.

I remember finding a copy of The Bridge album in a second hand record shop back when I was a teenager. I'd vaguely heard of Robert Rental as this legendary but elusive electronic musician who had worked with Daniel Miller, so was keen to hear something he'd recorded. I really liked it, as it veered from the minimalist abrasiveness of Chrome or early Cabaret Voltaire to some really atmospheric moments.

Mind Bomb was the one for me. God bless Matt.

Thank you for this. Lovely interview, what a fabulous talent and a stellar human being Matt Johnson is.

Lol Kid Montana man where is the time . Kid Montana was at my home and i use still his Opcode midi box .

Bit a shame the sound from the video is not very loud .

Great story and sad at the same time Robert died to early .

Puts more in than he takes.
