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:

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, hahaat one point i think we had the whole set from the 2001 Big Day Out festival in Australia http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DBuUu_xXFFs[Edited on June 11, 2009 at 12:22 AM. Reason : junior year too]

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.

posting here because I still rock this album.

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.

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.

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

Quality thread.

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.

If ATDI and Rage got together and put on a dual reunion show I think I would literally shit myself out of pure joyA+ thread, would read again

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
