Lindstrom & Prins Thomas are the shit

smallhanded, even

did no one care about the Prins album then? It didn't make much of an impression on me i have to say

WTF at "Neneh Cherry track is insane" etc? The original is insane but this is a standard techno tune.

dull as ditchwater imo. orig is the bomb.

2nd time through and I can say I really dig the new Prins Thomas. Søt Kløt sounds like a PT remix of a classic Hardfloor track and Symfonisk Utviklingshemming is perhaps the most beautiful track he's ever done solo or with Lindstrom. Really dig it in full but there are definitely a few shining moments and then some tracks that are good but not particularly memorable.

smalhans so good

yes, listened to it 4 times today. looking forward to the longer terje edits, too, though.

while i LOVE every song on this album, it kinda sounds like lindstrøm on autopilot

give it to me then if you dont like it

okay finally listening to this and completely ~blissing out~ this is like my ideal music goddamn

is this out in shops or are you all just stealing it?

"pre-acquiring due to enthusiasm" is how i'd put it

i've bought lotsa lindstrøm and i will buy this when i can! just listening to it now.

off to see him tonight, p excited.

vos-sako-rv is SUCH a headbanger

Playing Prins Thomas II this morning. Third time is a charm. This album is really nice. The new Lindstrom is richer in melody but PTII has better grooves.

yes, theyre both fantastic. between those two, mungolian jetset and terje's 2012 releases i feel like norwegian dudes are going to take all of spots for my favorite records of the year

I don't want to spoil the magic for anyone who hasn't heard it yet but the thing he does about halfway through the final track is absolutely masterful.

Love this album by the way.

a 30 minute dance album? well, that's a rare thing.

lindstrom album is a riot. lots of the melodies sound like late 90s trance!

haha thats what my gf said (+ she loves late 90s trance)

yes, i'm partial to a bit of it myself :)

title reminds me of

i read this first so the last track is the only one i have played (about twenty times now)

sound like late 90s trance!

ha! exactly what my friend and i were saying upon listening last night.

Rakost appears to be a kind of shrimp flavoured soft cheese that you put on biscuits. Sounds revolting.

They're all foods! One track is named after a boiled potato thing, I think?

I know, I'm trying to work out what they all are, but it's harder than it looks because I don't think the titles and the names of the foods are exactly the same.

from the press release:

it’s more like ‘Raakost’ (raw vegetables) to ‘Vafler’ (waffles) – with lashings of ‘Lammelaar’ (dried salted lamb meat), ‘Vossakorv’ (‘a sheep-sausage made in Voss’), and ‘Eggedosis’ (‘what you get when you mix eggs and sugar with a blender. Kids love it… At least, I did when I was younger!’). Yum!

i love this album even more

not really feeling the lindstrom record, would like to hear prins though.

the Prins Thomas one ended up boring me, although I totally love a bunch of his recent remixes (the Metronomy one, a few others I don't have readily at hand right now). Smalhans, though... wow. I went into it with what I thought were unrealistically high hopes for it and it somehow managed to exceed them all. A++++++++++++, million billion gold stars, will buy vinyl as soon as Experimedia has it up to order.

smalhans definitely trancey. also - awesome

When do the Terje edits surface?

when u least expect it

when they become less dense than the liquid in which they're submerged

Fāār-i-kāāl is sooooo goooooooood. i hope this one gets the terje treament

All tracks on the album are getting extended Terje mixes IIRC. looking forward to hearing those!

^ This

There's 2 more 12" releases to come of extended edits from Terje

this is the shit

I find Smalhans alternately extremely annoying or anxiety inducing. There's something so grating about the relentless upbeatness of it, the arpeggios etc. It gives me a headache.

Yeah, I can see why the perkiness of nu-lindstrom would annoy, especially listening to all the tracks consecutively as an album. (I still like it though.)

PT2 is much subtler and works well as an album / home listening experience - and I love the fact that it's an almost continuous mix. I haven't yet downloaded the individual tracks in their unmixed and extended forms - am eager to see if they stand up in that form.

Interesting that both L & PT have seemingly simultaneously abandoned guitars.

I love the constant energy

of course I dont think it's appropriate for all occasions
