INFO
Some three years ago Eskimo Recordings unveiled their deb ut artist album release, Lindstr¢m and Prins Thomas's eponymous debut LP which c aptured the hearts and minds of the global music community, received superlative reviews across the world, catapulted the pair into the limelight and subsequent ly helped to put the words cosmic and disco back into the dance music lexicon. N ow after various solo artist projects, Oslo's finest return with the highly anti cipated 'II' and a worthy successor to their ground-breaking first album.
It would be no small understatement to say that right now Hans-Peter Lindst r¢m and fellow Norwegian, Thomas M. Hermansen (aka Prins Thomas) are two of the hottest leftfield dance artists around. Whilst Thomas's roots come from a more d ance/DJ background, multi-instrumentalist Lindstr¢m provides the backbone to the pairs beautiful and melodic approach that takes their music from the dancefloor and into a looser groove that could fit happily in any home listening environme nt.
The pair joined forces in 2003, after mutual admiration and insp iration of each others productions. Lindstr¢m as muso-wizard and Prins Thomas as the nu-skool remix-champ but they also share the same passion for collecting re cords and run their own labels Feedelity (Lindstr¢m), Full Pupp and Internasjona l (Prins Thomas) from their Scandanavian liars. 2008 saw the release of Lindstr¢ m's debut solo album 'Where You Go I Go Too' (Feedelity) which cemented his stan ding as a unique master craftsman ("a triumph of sound design, as impeccably cra fted as a Starck chair" 4/5 The Guardian) / "a modern electronic masterpiece" 5/ 5 Album Of The Month, IDJ Magazine) whilst Prins Thomas has also been busy runni ng both of his labels, DJing all over the world, remixing the likes of Simian Mo bile Disco and LCD Soundsystem, releasing the 'space-disco' defining 'Cosmo Gala ctic Prism' ("a gem" 4/5 Mixmag, "cosmic disco don" 4/5 DJ) double mix CD and co mpiling his own label's 'Greatest Tits Vol.1' on Full Pupp.
Solo proj ects aside, they now join forces again for yet another venture into their own mu sical playground. While retaining a lot of the musical ideals and ideas of the f irst album it's distinctively more organic, psychedelic, live and loose, which m akes 'II' such a welcome return of a release. Featuring elements of italo, kraut rock and disco-influenced productions alongside the production spark genius that defined those halcyon releases of the post disco/punk era Lindstr¢m and Prins T homas provide us with yet more lush basslines, sublime melodies and rolling rhyt hms bursting with pure emotion. Throughout you can find the experimental energy of the continental space-disco of the eighties which the pair still adore: melod ic, synth-heavy and cinematic, with arpeggiated basslines set to organic, flowin g grooves.
Lindstr¢m and Prins Thomas's sublime norse code continues to astound, invigorate and inspire as every twist and nuance is embellished wit h a warmth and glow few seem capable of capturing. The space-disco kings are bac k.
