Love everything this band did, "Relationship of Command" is still in constant rotation on my ipod.

Ridiculous live band, pretty much thought they'd never do a reunion show since they reportedly haven't gotten along with the "sparta half" of ATDI. But today I ran across this new interview focusing on TMV's "Octahedron." When asked about an ATDI reunion Cedric of all people said:

Quote :

"I don't know what to say about that really. We've been making amends with a lot of the members and having some really good talks with them. And we've been trying to get our financial business in order because a lot of people have been ripping off that band really badly...as far as the business side goes. I wouldn't mind it. Y'know, it might happen, we just have to iron out a lot of personal things. A lot of it we've dealt with already and I've apologized for a lot of things I've said and the way it ended...we'll see what happens."

That is certainly not a "yea man we're be doing a reunion tour next year" response but considering the relationship I've known the ex ATDI members to have I never even thought I'd hear Cedric come remotely close to hinting at something like that so it gives me more hope!

Anyways, apreesh!

relationship of command = junior/senior year of high school for me (granted, i graduated 4 years after it came out/they had already broken up, but still )

we used to download live videos from kazaa and watch them for hours, haha

at one point i think we had the whole set from the 2001 Big Day Out festival in Australia

haha I know what you mean man. I was huge into that my junior/senior year as well(2002-2003 for me). Its funny because my sophomore year (about a year after it was out) a friend introduced me to them and I didn't like it. Then I gave relationship.. another try the next year randomly and loved it.

Thats awesome about the live videos from kazaa I'll have to check the youtube link when I get home though; I always liked their Letterman performance of "one armed scissor" too.

It weirded me out to see the "One Armed Scissor" video on MTV occasionally.

6/11/2009 9:56:34 AM

posting here because I still rock this album.

6/11/2009 10:00:52 AM

excuse me while i post up in this thread.

Relationship of Command still makes regular rounds through my ears.

6/11/2009 11:12:02 AM

I appreciate At the Drive-In.

6/11/2009 11:24:42 AM

I too got into them my junior year of high school. Although I've always been more partial to in/CASINO/OUT. Napoleon Solo was the song that got me into them.

6/11/2009 11:55:56 AM

star slight is probably my favorite song of theirs and it sounds nothing like anything on relationship of command

acrobat tenement, vaya, in/casino/out, and relationship command are all fucking amazing. Even El Gran Orgo is pretty good, the only reason I dislike it is that they didnt even finish writing / recording because the record company was like fucking them over and they just dropped it and left. Anywho great thread, I would be there front fucking row if they reunited.

6/11/2009 2:25:00 PM

much appreciation given. would attend.

6/11/2009 3:05:27 PM

acrobatic tenement

6/11/2009 6:18:51 PM

i listened to Relationship of Command twice today thanks to this thread.
and for good measure, i listened to In/Casino/Out once too.

6/11/2009 8:27:35 PM

If ATDI and Rage got together and put on a dual reunion show I think I would literally shit myself out of pure joy

A+ thread, would read again

6/11/2009 9:02:38 PM

relationship of command is junior year of college or so for me. Good shit.

6/12/2009 2:29:08 PM

I still play this album from time to time as well.

6/12/2009 7:45:44 PM

Napoleon Solo and Initiation! God I fucking love ATDI!

6/13/2009 4:27:55 AM
