im kinda not into this. which is a first bc i basically have died at so many of his songs, but im shrugging at this one.

Yeah, feels like Lindstrøm took the Terje torch and ran with it on his new single.

You should consider yourself fortunate, because I'm cringing at it. You listen to shit like this and you realise what a lucky escape it was that he didn't get time to properly finish the album.

sounds pretty fun to me. intrigued to hear the YMO / Martin Denny cover.

enough with the corny cover songs!

"Hot off the Olsen press comes Dansbar #1, the first in a brand new series aiming to shine some much needed light on the lost history of Norway's disco underground. First in the firing line is Beranek's mad capped morality tale, 'Dra Te Hælvete', a mislaid classic much loved by the most adventurous DJs in the Scandinavian circuit."

Here's a corny video for a corny cover song.

Another track, YMO cover this time

I did not like that YMO cover much.

remember when Terje was exciting?

:(

I'm one of the people who wasn't disappointed with the album in the slightest, but I'm really struggling to care about what he does anymore. These new songs aren't the direction I wanted him to go in.

yeah, I don't get it either.

His remix catalogue is so great he should work on having his band perform them live. This new stuff is just terrible.

Imagine seeing his band play this live - would be epic

New remix from the Ola Kvernberg reissue on his Olsen label

is that Kvernberg remix available yet? I've been refreshing Amazon, Beatport, Junodownload, etc since the Soundcloud link says it's available today, but none of them have it available for sale yet.

(also I had never heard of Ola Kvernberg prior to Terje's involvement, but I listened to Mechanical Bull [the album] and it is in fact quite good)

New record:

it didn't rock my world although seeing him live a week or two ago did

That Four Tet remix is a decent banger. Wouldn't be surprised if I hear it at every party I go to for the next 8 months.

wow i want to go to parties where they play todd terje records

Four Tet remix came up on Spotify. It's good. I don't go to parties, though.

There's really no stopping our Todd. That's a banger. As far as I can see only the remixes are available to buy, not the original...

Is there even an original?

Bendik Kaltenborn described the original as "forthcoming" or similar when posting the cover art on instagram earlier

New single tomorrow:

Whoa I was just thinking abt him yesterday and wondering wen we'd hear new music

i hope he's done with the (snooze alert) phase he's been in

Sounds good from here at least

I like it

i may never understand how we don't occupy a universe in which "q" is commonly acknowledged as among his best

Did this guy just retire or something? The really excellent new Prins Thomas record is making me pine for Terje. He was completely untouchable for a good four or five years there. It's now been six years since he's dropped something. Is he a family man now on a farm or something? Is he secretly composing his "Ram"? Is he the next Vashti Bunyan and will emerge from his small village in 20 years to drop a masterclass in disco again?

In my fantasy world alternative timeline Roisin Murphy and Terje collaborate emerge with the greatest dance record of all time and its success brings upon a chain reaction that develops into world peace. No I'm actually sober as I write this, just deeply nostalgic atm

Yeah he pretty much dropped off the face of the earth. I've also been a bit baffled by this, so after digging awhile back I found a reddit thread asking the same question from a couple of years ago and this was an answer: "Someone asked him whether he has any new music coming soon on his Instagram recently. He said 'nope' :( really broke my heart."

his ambition was to make enough £s so he didn't have to do any more music related activities and i guess he succeeded.

it's only album time once

more like odd, barelje

*cries*

Think he just DJs these days:

i'm surprised. he really dislikes it.

Lol, just checked his FB page and he's literally posted on there this week for the first time in over two years (links to upcoming DJ sets)

i'm surprised. he really dislikes it.

Any kind of performing. But hopefully was just a phase.

dunno if this is old or new or what but reggae inspector norse alert:
