so what sound is this reinterpreting? i'm guessing early warp? lfo, black dog, etc? what else should i look for new and old that's like this?
― jaxon, Saturday, 4 June 2011 23:58 (1 year ago) Permalink
this doesn't sound like early LFO to me at all. this sounds so clean and so much less ravey. it's very pretty though. reminds me a bit of 'dinamo' by nathan fake

this is way more nu disco ish to me
― lebroner (D-40), Sunday, 5 June 2011 08:29 (1 year ago) Permalink
than warp i mean
what nu disco sounds like this tho? maybe it's just that particular type of synthesizer that's coding as something different for me, but it does seems a lot less immediate than most nu disco
― a lagoon par la mer (psychgawsple), Sunday, 5 June 2011 08:45 (1 year ago) Permalink
i guess it reminds me a bit of the dfa remix of "rise" by delia & gavin (not sure if that's nu disco either tho)
― a lagoon par la mer (psychgawsple), Sunday, 5 June 2011 08:51 (1 year ago) Permalink
what i was saying was more of a question than a statement. i want to know what sound the main synth line (not the rhythms) is referencing. to me, this and oar3b seem like they're trying to sound like early warp or early detroit stuff, but i don't know those things that well to know.
― jaxon, Sunday, 5 June 2011 21:36 (1 year ago) Permalink
Oar3b is much more warp-y, specifically Black Dog. With this one the similarity is there but more like B12 in the melodies, i think.
― jed_, Sunday, 5 June 2011 21:43 (1 year ago) Permalink
snooze is quite b-12y, that is, Ragyish is more like Lindstrom than anything else although there's maybe a little Jedi Knights in there.

It's driving me crazy how the portamento only kicks in on the top 2 notes of the arpeggio. Or maybe he's just put the two notes really close together and not quantized them. But it's a sound that is both jarring and yet slightly exciting, like, I listen out for it every time to see if I can work it out. Manages to be both expected and unexpected. Clever.

That's my favourite thing about it - I think it's intended as more of an acciaccatura, but it's really evocative.

― Tim F, Monday, 6 June 2011 09:45 (1 year ago) Permalink
They're just ever so slightly too *off* to be proper grace notes, but it's the slight off-ness of them that makes them such ear candy. And I miss them when the song settles down to its cosmic juggernaut groove, and it's so exciting when they pop back up mid kosmische groove. So more-ish.
― Karen D. Tregaskin, Monday, 6 June 2011 09:46 (1 year ago) Permalink
Ha ha, we need Owen in here to explain the proper difference between grace notes, acciaccaturas and appoggiaturae.
I'm still trying to work out if there's a portamento or not. it's delicious.
― Karen D. Tregaskin, Monday, 6 June 2011 09:48 (1 year ago) Permalink
Grace note is kinda the umbrella term, I just wanted to write "acciaccatura" because it's such a pleasing word.
― Matt DC, Monday, 6 June 2011 09:54 (1 year ago) Permalink
i only REALLY understood it when i danced to it at a party. and only when i couldn't put my finger on what it 'is' (trainspotting as self defense etc), i realized this is a proper unclassic dance anthem (of 'knights of the jaguar' proportions), but in EXTREME slow motion. it's totally fucking with temporality, i think. it's almost like it has managed to exist only through creating a loophole through time, escaping a nanosecond before the canon of the dance has completely closed.
on this note, let's recall terje's 'eurodans' -- which compared to this sounds a bit amateurish, but still unabashedly euphoric. it produced one of my favorite youtube moments, which still sends immediate party shivers down my spine (00:36):

I was actually thinking about this yesterday and: Because the Swedish Google translator voice says "tear-yeh," combined with the fact that his track "Terjelator" goes "it's time for the tear-yeh-lator" has led me to conclude this is the correct pronunciation.

i played Snooze 4 Love out for the first time last nite. it was at my hotel lobby lounge/bar gig as it was emptying out and there were only a few couples huddled on sofas in dark corners, it was really, really nice. i think i'd only listened to it once before that and then went back to the other two joints on the 12" but i've been listening to it all day today.
related: earlier in the nite, i was playing Todd Todd Terje's "Kul I Pul" and a cocktail waitress came up to me and said "CAN YOU BURN A CD OF THE SONG YOU ARE PLAYING RIGHT NOW"
turns out that a Moroccan Prince is staying at the hotel for a whole month with his 20-person entourage and the hotel staff is bending over backwards waiting on him hand and foot. and i guess dude wanted a copy of that song, i burned him a cd and wrote TODD TERJE - "KUL I PUL" on it and handed it to the cocktail waitress who thanked me profusely.
yo Todd if you get flown to Morocco and put up in a royal palace for a few weeks, you're welcome!!

Rolling threads have their uses but I do like threads like this and the Disco En Paradiso one. Even if there's nothing to say about the track and it's just people enthusing.
You really notice the influence of rolling threads when you get to ILM End of Year lists and they're full of songs that different blocs have voted for and everyone else goes "what's that? It's great!"
Also I find dutifully clicking through endless Youtube clips on an ILM thread to be a really joyless way of listening to music, but that might just be me.

also so many people would have clicked out of curiosity on a thread titled WUT WUT WUT WUT WUT, not even noticing what board it was on. whereas (feat romy from the xx) would have made heaps of ppl not bother clicking.

As an old-timer who took a break from, like, '04 pretty much to a few months ago, it's interesting to read this. I like the rolling-genre threads in principle, but it feels as if they often get commandeered by a few folks that are far more knowledgeable about the genre than most others, and I think others get scared off a little from posting (at least, I know this has happened to me). The occasional "I'm really feeling this" thread feels much more inviting...
Also, I'm usually either reading ILM on my phone while I'm "on the road" or while I'm home working (in which case my stereo is on), and the constant stream of YouTubes on the rolling-genre threads is never really something I can make use of. (Ironic, I suppose, that I started this thread then with a YouTube.)

Although it happens plenty, I wouldn't say ILM is my main avenue for discovering music, either. For me, it's always been about the discourse on here, the people and their thoughts and personalities. When those rolling-genre threads evolve into long strings of YouTubes with no commentary, that aspect of it is totally lost. I do understand why it happens; there's so much music coming at us from all corners at all times today, it's hard to really sit down and spend time even listening to--much less thinking about or discussing--any one thing, but I have to admit that I fear the FB-style "likes this"-ification of the discourse.

Dixon claims the last two tracks on his mix were a mistake and if he could do it over again, he wouldn't use Snooze 4 Love or the one that preceeds it. It does sound great as the closer of the mix though.

haha is any of the press release true?
Terje Olsen is the grandson of the legendary astromechanic Jens Olsen, arguably the greatest clockmaker who ever lived. Although Jens was a Dane, his family eventually relocated to the remote Antarctic island Bouvetøya (Bouvet Island in English), where Terje’s father studied the mating rituals of the seal. It was a strange existence. “We only lived there for a few years,” recalls Terje, “And there was nothing to do other than hunt seals or work on my grandfather’s clocks. It gave me a thirst for mechanics which I brought into music when I built my own synthesisers. And a love of seal products.” Terje refuses to wear any coat not made out of seal and has the largest collection of penguin-skin hats in the world.
He returned to live in a remote Norwegian island. “When you live in a population of only 300 people, you learn to amuse yourself,” laughs Terje. “But something strange happened: Kraftwerk came to record the local seals. It was odd having these four Germans, but in return for studio time I showed them several seal curing techniques.” While Kraftwerk’s opera We Are The Seals still lies unused, it inspired Terje to build his first synthesizer.

hey got a question for digital DJs out there (guess this thread is as good as any) ... is Juno Download always way cheaper than Beatport?? "It's the Arps" is like $10 on Beatport for the full EP on 320 MP3s and only $4.50 on Juno. Just curious if that is typical.

Don't get me wrong, I love Inspector Norse and find it really jubilant, but it's not too far away from my personal twee border--a little too close to goofy. Whereas Snooze 4 Love is more restrained and austere, and feels like it has more depth.
― Clarke B., Friday, 3 February 2012 15:10 (1 year ago) Permalink
I'm not sure I've got the hang of these tracks yet. They're quite fun, but I think I'd need to hear them in a dancefloor situation to truly appreciate them.
― Sounds Of The Baskervilles (dog latin), Friday, 3 February 2012 15:15 (1 year ago) Permalink
Yeah, I love Inspector Norse, especially that weird moment about 3:35 or where he goes to another chord, the filters kick in and it goes to a whole nother level, like the camera goes shift-tilt ... or that moment in the Capsule "World of Fantasy" video where they take off. It's a great track - but Snooze 4 Love has something kind of sublime that raises it above almost everything else I've heard in the past year.

Good point re: Italo, and I feel that--the bouncy octave-jumping synth bass in particular. I suppose my Italo preferences run more to the super-moody, "night"-themed, desperation-and-longing stuff more than the overtly goofy stuff... Still an awesome track (and the B-side of the 12" is nothing to sneeze at either).

Having checked I think it was produced by Trevor Horn, so Aeroplane didn't have anything to do with the original.

oh wait i never heard the vox. i like the instrumental tho

looks like it barely got promoed and not released, he v probably hasn't
Horn did the next one but it was their first collab - the one before Rudebox had been completely co-written and produced by Stephen "Tin Tin" Duffy, everything before that was The Guy Chambers Era
(Horn and Robbie SOUNDS like a fantastic idea but I never heard a note until clicking that youtube, presumably it sucked)
Orbit and Ronson and Joey Negro and PSB did various tracks on Rudebox, most of it was by "Soul Mekanik" (it says here)

i wonder if the ferry vid has something to do with the "mixing a (famous) rock band" mentioned in this interview: http://www.factmag.com/2012/08/24/todd-terje-on-primitive-drum-programming-nasal-surgery-and-inspectors-norse-and-morse/

just, like, robbie williams? really? i'd struggle to come up with an artist with less scope for anything interesting. i did like 'bodies' tho, well, the dub anyway.

I can't get enough of "Inspector Norse" and the Ragysh EP. So great.

Inspector Norse gets better every time I listen to it - Saturday had been such a downer due to shitty circumstances involving asshole club managers and early train times, but we got home and cranked this up and when that wonderful proggy arpeggio section came in all my anxieties temporarily vanished

"Inspector Norse" also blends flawlessly into Hot Chip's "Motion Sickness" btw

okay maybe I shouldn't admit that I eat at chipotle this often, but Snooze 4 Love was playing the last 3 times I went there.

For some reason I only like "Inspector Norse" when I hear it out.

Terje's remix of Hot Chip's 'How Do You Do' is purrrty great. But so is Joe Goddard's treatment of the same track...

FINALLY heard Inspector Norse in a club with a good soundystem at the end of an incredible night...probably my favourite ever clubbing moment.

nice! played it out a bar recently and it completely killed the mood 'what is this bloopy teenybopper shit' haha, i'd got into some modern krauty low slung bassline kinda vibe. people were dancing, felt like i could get away with it. nope. every bleep in that song became quite embarrassing!
