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

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

That is truly awful, the vocals are atrocious. What was Terje thinking?
― gregus, Friday, 19 July 2013 23:48 (ten years ago) link
it's not that bad. i suppose he was thinking - here's a job i've been asked to do for pretty good money.

Just hope this thread doesn't echo the Aeroplane one
― groovypanda, Sunday, 21 July 2013 19:13 (ten years ago) link
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.

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

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

"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."
― groovypanda, Monday, 11 November 2013 08:41 (ten years ago) link
Both sound great! Here are some longer samples:http://www.junodownload.com/MP3/SF2331303-02-01-01.mp3http://www.junodownload.com/MP3/SF2331303-02-01-02.mp3
― cheeseburger, Monday, 11 November 2013 15:28 (ten years ago) link
Yeah those both sound pretty great.
― MikoMcha, Monday, 11 November 2013 16:18 (ten years ago) link
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)
― akadarbarijava (psychgawsple), Wednesday, 13 November 2013 22:00 (ten years ago) link
have you heard many of his remixes? like the reverso 68 or felix laband?
― eris bueller (lukas), Wednesday, 13 November 2013 22:59 (ten years ago) link
yes, definitely! i love that reverso 68 remix in particular, but the earlier remixes and edits still seem to come from a much different place... i like most everything this guy puts out but i think he did something distinct with the snooze for loves that would definitely lend itself to the long-player format
― akadarbarijava (psychgawsple), Thursday, 14 November 2013 01:16 (ten years ago) link
maybe "glittertind" and the original mix of "balearic incarnation" are the most similar to "snooze"? more like that, please.
