its p remarkable that he's become so successful using a moniker thats an eye-rolling pun

it's remarkable how many people apparently have no idea it's a pun!

One thing I've never been sure of, is "Terje" pronounced the same as "Terry" or is there a somewhat different Norwegian twist to it?

yeah i pronounce it as "tear-yay" (first part rhyming with "pear") but that could be completely wrong
― le goon (J0rdan S.), Thursday, 3 April 2014 17:10 (ten years ago) link
lol on the phone last week with a friend who's reviewing album I kept saying TERJAY and he kept pronouncing it correctly and I felt like an ass when I hung up.

actually iirc before I deleted it my Scruff profile read "Todd Terje's hand in marriage" under "WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING FOR"
Todd Terrier (as in the dog) would probably be the closest pronounciation-wise. Definitely more of a yay than a jay at the end there.

ha as the subsequent million posts proved, it's just weird that so few have heard of todd terry!
― lex pretend, Friday, 4 April 2014 06:42 (ten years ago) link
(i mean, so few people who have heard of todd terje, ie are into dance music, have not heard of house legend todd terry)
I don't think it is a case of being ignorant of Todd Terry I mean as well as being a legend he dented the charts with bat mobile, just incredulity that someone would attempt such a crap pun for a moniker.
― xelab, Friday, 4 April 2014 06:51 (ten years ago) link
I think it's brill
― 龜, Friday, 4 April 2014 06:52 (ten years ago) link
It isn't that bad I suppose, I just meant goofy humour in dance music is such a rarity is probably why the pun wasn't understood by some.
― xelab, Friday, 4 April 2014 07:01 (ten years ago) link
This album gets better with additional listens but skip the the Ferry track every time. It's either really bad or I'm missing something...
― skip, Friday, 4 April 2014 15:01 (ten years ago) link
the ferry track is good and i never skip it
― ciderpress, Friday, 4 April 2014 15:10 (ten years ago) link
ferry track is great but i'm not sure i'd stan hard for it, i could see it getting overplayed v quickly. funny tho that ferry was going to record it regardless and terje just sorta took what he could get and threw it on the album
― hug niceman (psychgawsple), Friday, 4 April 2014 15:14 (ten years ago) link
yeah it sounds out of place because it's more like a Ferry track that Todd Terje co-produced. but it's good. a pleasant little island on the album.
― coops all on coops tbh (crüt), Friday, 4 April 2014 15:26 (ten years ago) link
yeah i think it definitely works well within the album's sequencing/flow. also excited for husky-voiced ferry to start releasing things, is he singing like this on his current tour?
― hug niceman (psychgawsple), Friday, 4 April 2014 15:50 (ten years ago) link
According to the Guardian review this week, Terje has gone on the record as saying he didn't actually get a chance to finish the album and it does show.
― Matt DC, Friday, 4 April 2014 15:58 (ten years ago) link
can't ask for any extensions when it's album time

haha that's great, a little skeptical terje is in fact dance music's most reluctant superstar
― balls, Friday, 4 April 2014 19:28 (ten years ago) link
yeah, I'm not sure by what definition he's a superstar and he doesn't seem particularly reluctant...

Missed this! Regardless, my mp3s downloaded from Amazon this morning and I'm listening right now. I love the Bryan Ferry thing, although I have to admit I really don't know his other stuff other than Avalon. I especially like the synths that come in after "Runnin' around..." I agree that the early part of the album would benefit from a 73 degree day. It s definitely a harsh contrast with the chilly gloom outside, but I bet I'll be jamming it pretty hard this summer.

Talking about music:
“House and techno DJs — they’re some of the most serious musicians around,” the 32-year-old Norwegian producer says. “The music I really like has a humorous edge to it, and I feel like humor comes when artists have some success. They have the energy to do something funny.”
