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

lol this thred

just returned from grad school wormhole and all i can say is SAMBA MIX YESSSSSS

this is the third ferry remix he's done, no? i'm counting the roxy music one of course

Tobias Thomas played 'strandbar (disko mix)' last night and I'm now a full on believer. Passes the you-have-to-hear-it-out test with flying colours.

ok ignore me, i've just realised it wasn't 'strandbar', it was kolsch's 'der alte'. it was a good party.

Todd Terje + Franz Ferdinand (!) = The North Sea

wow this is absolutely dreadful

lasted 29 seconds

the second one isnt quite so shit

about 80 seconds til kapranos started

consorting with ferry & mnstrm indie bands suggests terje is going to be more famous than todd terry, if he isn't already

maybe he has a while to go, terry has wikipedia pages in eight languages while terje has no pages on the english wikipedia or either of the norwegian ones

god that first one is apalling, horrible late 90s kooky student disco shit, reminds me of Space.

oh todd :(

u_u

Are Franz Ferdinand still around?

Only lasted 19 seconds, but long enough to find out that it sounds like Madness covering Another One Bites The Dust.

so why did you turn it off

I felt my soul shudder with revulsion

I feel like it might work as an instrumental

lmao

That is truly awful, the vocals are atrocious. What was Terje thinking?

it's not that bad. i suppose he was thinking - here's a job i've been asked to do for pretty good money.

That's a fair point.

i'm just glad there has finally been something he put out that people on ilm actually dislike. i was beginning to wonder if it was possible.

Lanzarote was the shark jump but people still wanted to believe

Lanzarote is awesome. Until the silly vocals.

the silly vocals are my favorite part

Just hope this thread doesn't echo the Aeroplane one

Terje's cartoon disco has always skirted bad taste. That's been the intent since "Eurodans" and the appeal. "Giant robot goose stomping down the street", anyone?

I'd worry about Terje following Aeroplane if he started getting serious, paying homage, etc.

The North Sea track reminds me a bit of Moloko's "Party Weirdo" and other filler off Do You Like My Tight Sweater?. And that turned out okay.

ah the old fun/serious/good venn diagram

Horizon isn't bad at all.

very ahem familiar string arrangements...

Good ear. It is kind of bittersweet tho that it's always "I know how we can save it! Let's get some strings on it" so it's usually the dregs in my inbox

as a fan of franz ferdinand and todd terje it's hard to figure how their collab would suck worse than anything either have ever done :(

Oh yes:

nice!

that essential mix is loads of fun

Disco edits of Men At Work, Boz Scaggs and Wings? Well, why ever not...

I kind of like "Stand on the Horizon" a lot.

Just found this recently at ye olde shoppe:

Lovely edits as usual!

Mr Terje does not approve of those:

New single, Spiral:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Qd1OHizqw0

Seems like a grower so far. Intro reminds me a bit of "Discopolis."

YOU'RE OUTTA TOUCH!
I'M OUTTA TIME!

b-side "Q" sounds like the one tho

So is he still planning a full length album at any point in the near future?

"Four is the magic number: Todd Terje’s next 12” super sound single on Olsen Records finds him going back to his roots with two extended and sparkling synthesizer adventures for club use. “Spiral” and “Q” are preceding the mastermind’s up-and-coming debut album (where both tracks won’t appear) and are the elaborated results from a commissioned concert for Bergen’s 2012 Ekko Festival."

Both sound great! Here are some longer samples:

Yeah those both sound pretty great.

aghhhh Q so good, seems a little formulaic based on the samples but hot damn what a formula.

i hope the album explores more of his atmospheric snooze 4 love (version) tendencies, i'm excited to hear terje doing tracks that do not feature a polka orchestra that aren't serviceable, uptempo dance cuts (i love them too tho don't get me wrong)

have you heard many of his remixes? like the reverso 68 or felix laband?
