Trentemoller - The Last Resort

[BrotherLovesDub]

so good. plus all the singles on disc 2. i've got those already but the album itself is lush.

now waiting for Eikman to say he's over it already, 2 months before it's released.

thanks to the sophisticated dirt who hooked me up!

Yuh. Good job us oldies have got the stamina to drag you youngsters out, eh?

Will certainly be watching for any UK dates.

Was supposed to see Trentemøller and TOM spin next Friday, but they've cancelled due to a job in Brazil. Only seen them once, but I'll probably get another chance

what I heard on myspace is beautiful and surprising, in the fact that I only knew him for the Royksopp remix.

I'm waiting for this album.

it's not really that minimal, which i sort of a frustrating thing about trentemoller i suppose that his remixes are all supposed to be more bangin than his own output, which are these lush but super-slick (for better or worse) multi-layered productions that lay low and skirt the line between craft and being uninspired (a couple of them honestly sound like he's been talking to dirty vegas. i mean MY GODD). he's wearing the minmal mask but he clogs up the songs like an average 'downtempo' group.

booka shade fall in this too, but not as hard and they dont seem to have the pretensions of doing anything more than moderately bringing the funk. their beats sound pretty good, too.

i like minimal at the end of the day but it's such a treacherous alley that i'm thinking about stopping it as the disappointment ratio has gone way high these days... especially with the min2MAX compilation, and how all of these TERRIBLE tracks (like Wink's new one... yes, you heard me, WINK) are being hailed as tremendous when it's some of the stupidest shit i've ever heard.

i'll just crawl in the corner with my matthew dear albums i suppose. they still do it for me after all this time.

[m.g.]

I'm supposed to receive it between 11th - 13th October... can't wait!!!

"i'll just crawl in the corner with my matthew dear albums i suppose. they still do it for me after all this time."

so you need a hammer and a huge sign to pound the point home? to me the trentemoller isn't some gigantic "minimal" masterpiece, but rather a gorgeous downtempo album, much like Blake C's album out on Konvex Konkav years ago, but i'd bet my bottom dollar you don't have that as a reference point.

either way, the Last Resort is a beautiful album. it's not making any statements, it's not saying "look at me i'm hip and now" it's just nice music. thats all, nothing more, nothing less.
