PRINS THOMAS Schallplatten & CDs

Review: Prins Thomas' recently released album, 8, was undoubtedly one of the most accomplished sets of his long career - an atmospheric, musically intricate affair that drenched his trademark sound in warm sonic sunlight. This partner album, which was recorded at the same time, continues in a similar vein, sashaying between AOR-influenced shuffling dub disco ('Layback Rollout'), intergalactic chuggers ('Earthbound'), morning-fresh Balearica ('Evig Ung'), nods to Tangerine Dream ('Film 0005'), slo-mo chuggers (the "watching the sun come up while suitably saucer eyed" vibes of 'I Love You'), and suitably dubby, spaced-out workouts ('Take Over Fjorden'). Another triumph from the Oslo scene stalwart!
