Todd Terje: "Snooze 4 Love" (masterpiece alert)

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?

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.

i wish norse was 20 minutes long

It actually is a bit short

^^ yes

would love an album of Terje jamming out in this style

yeah i love love love "inspector norse"

what is the joke in the title

what is that thing

It's a British tv institution

i thought it was some kind of inspector gadget joke :(

it can be if you want it to, imo

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.

i suppose because i though terje was pronounced "terzhay" but i assume it's really "terr-yay"?

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')

whats the joke about his name

todd terry

o

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

yes

there it is

weird last couple of posts

Not really.just explaining the pun.

dude likes puns.

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.

SPACE DISCO

Going to catch mr Terje and Mr Geist in London on the 28th. Exciting stuff.

I was thinking of going! (I'll be visiting)

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 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.

once was def optimo presents horse meat. i can't remember the other time. did you go to o last night?

yeah, they played both Inspector Norse and Ragysh, it was great fun.

Øya Festival 2012 is delighted to make several exciting additions to their 2012 line up including an exclusive performance from Norwegian producers and DJs Lindstrøm and Todd Terje who will be taking to the stage together for the first time. Renowned for his innovative edits and remixes, disco veteran Terje will be performing LIVE alongside multi-instrumentalist and progressive electronic producer, Lindstrøm for what will undoubtedly be a captivating and pioneering set.

this ep isn't nearly as good as ragysh, sorry guys wtvrs.

heard tiger & woods play the entirety of "inspector norse" this past weekend and it sounded amazing on really good club speakers
