Those Norwegians played at the releaseparty for this paper (that i write
for and help publish) a week ago.
Now, by the time they got on stage i was allready kinda (read: very)
drunk so i guess i wasnt paying much attention... still, i didnt really
like what i heard. It wasnt very "groovy" or whatever youd like to call
it, more minimalistic (and maybe abstract)... they used a Moog and a old
Korg synth so of course the instruments themselves were DOPE, but the
songs didnt do much for me. Now, i havent heard the album (Kaminsky
Park) but as i understood it this live set was very different from their
recorded-material (they said they were trying out a new set that they
might take on tour to the UK).

Oh, and it wasnt the full lineup... only Rune Linbek and ..er..this
other guy played. Torbjorn Bruntland and Ole A Mjor was missing (maybe
that had something to do with what they sounded like..i dono).

Anyways.. since you like Those Norwegians id recomend you to check out
Drum Island (a selftitled album dropped a few days ago on Apollo
Records) and Alania... both are projects by the people in Those
Norwegians. Allso, do you remember Volcano? They had a UK Top40 hit a
few years back (with a british singer..Samantha something..), that was
them too.

Rune Lindbek is currently working on a solo album + he is producing the
debut album for a girl called Aggie Frost Pedersen (his flatmate).

oh yeah...they're all from the same city as me...

> Jurassic 5 - Jajou

Ooooh..nice!

Lately ive been listening to (in no particular order):

-Dj Vadim - "ussr reconstruction"
-Andre Gurov - "revelations of wrath"
-Dialated Peoples - "work the angles"
-Squarepusher - "hard normal daddy" (i just cant put it away)
-Dj Shadow - "painkiller"
-Bob James - "touchdown"

Is it just me or do any of you allso hate the new version of Money
Mark's "hand in your head" ???? I cant believe how Mo'wax could fuck up
a great song like that.
