There were reports of Lindstrom suffering from crippling writer's block when trying to make that album and it shows, there's a load of bluster to disguise the lack of tunes. Maybe he's just loosened up now the pressure's off.

ach ffffuck it. I have a white label remix of a Lindstrom track coming out next week. Judge away, it's my first one, like, the first time I've got up the nerve to put out any techno music.

Embarrassing?

This is going to be super-awesome amazing (and I would say that without the ILX connection) and I am so excited to hear it!
― Chewton Mendip (White Chocolate Cheesecake), Friday, 10 August 2012 18:17 (eleven years ago) link
Well, I'm proud of it as a first effort (otherwise I wouldn't have mentioned it) but it's not gonna raise the wigs of any techno hardheads. Thanks guys you're sweet.
― Ówen P., Friday, 10 August 2012 18:21 (eleven years ago) link
Love Lindstrom and Prins Thomas together. Lindstrom & Todd Terje is not too shabby either.

"The OwP remix is a Prins Thomas favourite and has been played a lot by him already."

I didn't think 6 cups was jokey either. I just feel like I didn't give it the time to get into enough. I know at some point I will. It's not the kind of thing that needs to be arresting from the outset anyway.
― owenf, Friday, 10 August 2012 22:12 (eleven years ago) link
Nice, Owen! I can't wait to hear your first (released) foray into techno. I've made some things over the last year but too embarrassed to let anyone hear 'em. Plus, you know, I'm not a real musician.

these new tracks are bloody great. and echoing everyone, really looking fwd to the remix OP!
― Roz, Sunday, 12 August 2012 13:29 (eleven years ago) link
Is the Soundcloud link we're raving about the original or a Todd Terje remix (or a collaboration)?
― Matt DC, Sunday, 12 August 2012 13:40 (eleven years ago) link
Rà-àkõ-st? Lindstrom original, mixed by Terje.
― Roz, Sunday, 12 August 2012 13:52 (eleven years ago) link
actually now i'm not sure - i just checked the juno link where it says (Todd Terje extended edit) for both ra-ako-st and eg-ed-osis. I guess it's a collab?
― Roz, Sunday, 12 August 2012 13:58 (eleven years ago) link
Ra-ako-st is pretty good but Eg-ed-osis is AMAZING. It just goes up and up and up!

HURRAH:
August 16, 2012For Immediate Release LINDSTRØM ANNOUNCES NEW FULL-LENGTH ALBUM, SMALHANS, OUT NOVEMBER 5TH ON SMALLTOWN SUPERSOUND LISTEN TO SMALHANS’ “RÁ-ÁKÕ-ST” NOW
Smalhans is the fifth solo album by Norwegian producer Hans-Peter Lindstrøm, and his second album to come out in 2012. Earlier this year he released Six Cups of Rebel, which was a very personal album for Lindstrøm and showed his more experimental side. Now, this forthcoming record, out November 5th on Smalltown Supersound, finds Lindstrøm back on the dance floor with six monumental tracks – classic Lindstrøm style. Smalhans was mixed by his friend Todd Terje, who has also made extended edits which will be released as 12”s. The album title is an old Norwegian word and means scarcity or simply poverty. Each track on the album is titled after a traditional Norwegian meal. Smallhans is Lindstrøm at his very best, perfected by Todd Terje.

there is a blog that 'shops people's hands to make them tiny. i suppose that explains the how more than the why.

Yes.

The single (and the remixes! including O-Palz') are on Spodify, FYI.
― Shepton Mullet (White Chocolate Cheesecake), Friday, 17 August 2012 09:19 (eleven years ago) link
nice, ta.
― Arvo Pärt Chimp (Neil S), Friday, 17 August 2012 09:32 (eleven years ago) link
That O-Palz remix is the ~strangest~ thing I've heard in a while. And I mean that in the best possible way. Like, as soon as it was over, I had to go back and listen to it again to work out what it was that I had been listening to. In a "wait, this makes no sense, and yet it is super more-ish!" Like, this has all the hallmarks of a techno remix - but it is not a techno remix at all, it sounds like Steve Reich deconstructing a techno remix.
I'm worried that this sounds faintly insulting, which is not intended at all - I like it a lot, and want to listen to it again and again. But it's not at all what I was expecting from the description - it's something a lot more interesting.
― Shepton Mullet (White Chocolate Cheesecake), Friday, 17 August 2012 09:48 (eleven years ago) link
Actually the original is a pretty strange track to start with. I had forgotten. I'm trying to give 6 Cups another listen with a clearer mind, so we'll see how far we get.
― Shepton Mullet (White Chocolate Cheesecake), Friday, 17 August 2012 10:23 (eleven years ago) link
6 cups is such a weird record & very personal ?
