Lindstrom & Prins Thomas are the shit

title reminds me of

http://www.simplypsychology.org/little-hans.html

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

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

I played Vos-sako-rv and Va-fle-r at a friend's party a few weeks ago and got looks of extreme puzzlement from most everyone there. I chalk this up to my friends preferring more traditionally housey stuff, though (they came unglued for the Morales remix of "Totally" and Roger Sanchez' "Another Chance"); in any event, they better get on the trolley as I plan on finding a way to work both of those in at every possible occasion in the future. and needless to say I cannot WAIT for the Terje extendathon remixes of both of those two tracks in particular.

hey that prins thomas album IS really good - had kind of not investigated sooner b/c i'd never been that taken w/his solo stuff before but it's really awesome (and...kinda lindstrømmy!)

i played vo-sako-rv at a party and it killed

I played Faarikaal at a gay bar and it killed

I'm finding this too - I feel as though the record's horizons are somehow too small? 'Where you go I go too' also had that overly exuberant feeling, but it felt like it was travelling across a huge expanse, like there was enough space for the music to leap as far as it wanted. The tracks on Smallhans feel somehow trapped, like there's not enough room for their bounciness.

you've described my problem with it better than i could, thanks.

Where You Go, L&PT II, & Cristabelle, Six Cups and Smallhans is a crazy run- the records have more in common than seems on the surface, but cover a lot of ground. They're upbeat without lacking depth, like a comedic director who doesn't get the credit until you look back a his peak and see just how consistently insightful he was, how subtle he was in exploring his shtick.

Yah but I think there's been a major stylistic shift with Six Cups and Smallhans, a move toward massive layers of mid-range synths. I feel like these last two records are about Lindstrøm exploring his harmonic sensibilities (he loves Shepard sequences) rather than pushing any envelope

The thickness of the mid-range polyphony on Smalhans reminds me more of Jean-Michel Jarre than anything

What I get out of Smallhaus is an experiment to see how much he can push Shepard spiral staircases, without getting exhausting. I can totally see how it could be anxiety inducing, but when I'm feeling in the space for it, it really gets me.

Hell in a car, sounds great in a bar

hi

omg hell yeah

Serious flashes of Mandarine Girl with Lamm-El-Aar.

Yeah Mandarine Girl is all over this.

Also Orbital's "Spare Parts Express" if they'd been limited to one synthesizer.

Too bad the Pitchfork Festival in Paris is so much better than the one stateside...

oh man
