LINDSTRØM: 8,4 PITCHFORK REVIEW

October 25, 2006Comments Off

Pitchfork has a great 8,4 review of Lindstrøm`s “It`s A Feedelity Affair” album. Here is some of what it says “This collection of the Norwegian producer’s best-loved 12″ tracks succintly demonstrates why both he and his epic space-disco sound has been among the most ubiquitous forces in modern dance music. The compilation largely foregoes the multi-hued fragrancy and soft-rock glide of Lindstrøm’s recent work with frequent partner Prins Thomas in favour of ostentatiously astral motifs (particularly roaming, noodly synth solos) and more pronounced dancefloor grooves”.

LINDSTROM: GREAT UNCUT REVIEW

October 24, 2006Comments Off

“From Norway comes the scene`s poster-boy, Hans-Peter Lindstrom, remixer of Franz Ferdinand and LCD Soundsystem. An unshaven C&W fan and rugged outdoors type, Lindstrom`s intuitive, organic approach to disco and funk is celebrated on It`s A Feedelity Affair, a joyous round-up of the vinyl only singles on his Feedelity imprint. Lindstrom plays real instruments, samples himself, picks out melodies on guitar – and there is more than a hint of Moroder to the celestial twirls of “Music On My Mind” (4/5, Piers Martin, UNCUT)

LINDSTROM: 5 OUT OF 5 REVIEW IN DJ MAGAZINE!

“Sublime nordic disco. For those who haven`t been near a dancefloor recently, Feedelity`s succintly collects the best bits from the first nine EPs by Norwegian producer Lindstrom. Performing a balancing act that features sloppy, unquantized beats and live bass lines (Can It For The Original Whities), freeform funk freakouts (There Is A Drink In My Bedroom..) with squelchy Italo grooves (I Feel Space), Lindstrom really excels when he combines these space disco elements on Arp She Said. It`s a midtempo track of such exquisite beauty that it sends shivers down my spine everytime I hear it. If it can have that effect on a cynical hack, just think what it could do to you” (5/5, DJ MAGAZINE)

120 DAYS: PLAYBOY.COM REVIEW

October 18, 2006Comments Off

New Norwegian buzz band 120 Days may have picked its name as a sly reference to the Marquis de Sade’s infamous novel of sexual fetishes and torture, 120 Days of Sodom (groupies beware). But a more apt title would’ve been 120 Minutes, since the Norse rockers’ energy and charismatic singer Adne Meisfjord’s bold delivery would make the band a high-rotation addition to MTV’s old alternative video show. The self-titled new album plays like one extended movement pulsing with electronic drum cadences, taut bass, windswept guitars and edgy synth lines. While the band’s Can and Kraftwerk reference points are blatantly spelled out within its looping rhythms, 120 Days isn’t nearly as automated and dry as those influences sometimes imply. From the Timothy Leary-like exhortations of the opening track “Come Out (Come Down, Fade Out, Be Gone)” to the menacing Stooges-like sax of “Lazy Eyes,” this group isn’t as robotic as it is trance-inducing, creating musical hills and valleys within tracks that wax and wane with the skill of a jam band. Hipsters hate the dreaded “jam” term, but 120 Days sounds like a jam band for kids raised on Brit-Pop and electronica instead of bluegrass and folk. Hell, they end the album with a 12-minute track.(3/4, Playboy.com)

120 DAYS: NEW YORK TIMES REVIEW

“This Norwegian band has a new self-titled debut on Vice Records, licensed from the Oslo label Smalltown Supersound. But the sound of 120 Days will not be especially foreign to anyone who can imagine a contemporary gloss on Kraftwerk, or a keyboard-heavy take on the dance-punk of DFA Records. The album
