ABOUT THIS ITEM

Holed up in his Oslo studio, 'with HP next door and Terje across the hall,' this album showcases Thomas's myriad musical gifts over seven sprawling, ever-evolving, head-nodding, navel-gazing, body-moving, mind-mushing tracks perfectly assembled for an hour-long trip, almost all of it played by the man himself. But much like Ringo sang, Thomas gets by with a little help from his friends: Lindstrøm lends keyboards to “Wendy Not Walter” and in conjunction with Terje (on trumpet!) a funky bit of clavinet on “Sauerkraut.” From the shimmering Neu!-like guitar lines of opener “Ørkenvandring", we know we're in for a kosmiche treat. Handclaps and a battery of percussion propel “Uggebugg” right into the groovy synth-slithers of “Slangemusikk", which fittingly translates as “Snake Music". More double-digit delights lie just beyond the opening tracks (including a shout-out to the mighty Wendy Carlos), but why ruin the funky and sumptuous space party that awaits your head with so many of these words? Experience this fantastic album for yourself, via your ears not your eyes!
