the first seconds of inspector norse always bring a smile to my face. can't remember the last time a song did that to me

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.

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.

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.

xpost: I think you have to see it like an italo track (which it basically is). that the greatness lies in the fun-ness and "goofiness" of it.

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).

seeing him tonight for the first time. he was just in our local wrecka stow too!

is it just me or does track 2 on arps, "myggsommer," sound like a martin denny/exotica track?
― the jazz zinger (s1ocki), Friday, 3 February 2012 15:43 (fourteen years ago)
I think Norse is fun and easy to mix into. I can think of many tracks that's perfect to be mixed with it. Also one of those tracks that's perfect for changing the dynamic/direction of a set.
― dan138zig (Durrr Durrr Durrrrrr), Friday, 3 February 2012 15:55 (fourteen years ago)
i wish norse was 20 minutes long
― the jazz zinger (s1ocki), Friday, 3 February 2012 15:55 (fourteen years ago)
It actually is a bit short

i thought it was some kind of inspector gadget joke :(
― the jazz zinger (s1ocki), Friday, 3 February 2012 16:08 (fourteen years ago)
it can be if you want it to, imo
― J0rdan S., Friday, 3 February 2012 16:09 (fourteen years ago)
the length is perfect for me.

"Inspector Norse" tore the roof off of Trouw tonight at Nuno dos Santos/Patrice Bäumel's new clubnight. Fantastic to hear it on a great soundsystem surrounded by hundreds of excited dancers!

the guy's called todd terje, wordplay shouldn't surprise you ;)

omg i'm so stupid i never got this. i just assumed that was his name.
― jed_, Sunday, 5 February 2012 03:38 (fourteen years ago)
i suppose because i though terje was pronounced "terzhay" but i assume it's really "terr-yay"?
― jed_, Sunday, 5 February 2012 03:40 (fourteen years ago)
in norwegian it's pronounced "ter-yay"

bjorn torske remix is actually pretty awesome, wacky but not too wacky (aka less wacky than 'six cups of rebel' or 'schlungs')

is the joke about inspector norse that there is a british tv show called inspector morse and so it's funny to name a song inspector norse because todd terje is from norway

Totally into the "Snooze 4 Love (Version)" on the Running Back digital dubplate 10" thing. Not feeling the Son Of Sam side as much, but the A side is pure bliss. Gonna wear the grooves out on this one.

inspector norse just gets better and better the more it goes on and the more you hear it. i don't go out much any more but i've danced to it twice so far. really great.
― jed_, Saturday, 7 April 2012 22:38 (fourteen years ago)
jed would both those times be at Optimo? That would be the two times I've heard it out myself and it really is such a great dancefloor record, total bomb of destructive joy.
― boxedjoy, Saturday, 7 April 2012 23:20 (fourteen years ago)
once was def optimo presents horse meat. i can't remember the other time. did you go to o last night?
