Todd Terje - It's Album Time

Todd Terje - It's Album Time

I literally cannot wait to get this vinyl.  Ah, the best of the disco era.  Freshened up to the modern era.  Really, what is there not to love here?

Todd Terje is the stage name for Norwegian DJ multi instrumentalist Terje Olson.  Terje has described his music as danceable elevator music.  What could be better for me - a kid who grew up forced to listen to MUZAC and choosing to listen to disco.  Perfection really.  You can feel yourself getting out of your Deloreon as this music is playing in the background.  Oddly the track from this album "Delorean Dynomite" is exactly the track I would want playing in the background as I got out of my Deloreon - Wolf of Wall Street style.  Or maybe my favourite track - "Leisure Suit Preben"

I'm not planning on going into depth on this one, it would ruin the mood of the whole deal.  But there is a truly deeper, introspective side to this music if you are listening carefully.  A snapshot of what it means to be lonely - buried in the dance floor of your mind.

Roxy Music does come to mind as an immediate comparison.

Here's the very fun, sad and absolutely deeply brilliant "Inspector Norse" video (I actually believe this is the best music video I've ever watched):  Terje

Minutes after describing this music as similar to Roxy Music, I ran across this video: Terje and Bryan Ferry

About the making of this: Bryan Ferry - Alphaville (Todd Terje remix)

And then realised Bryan Ferry is the vocalist in the song "Johnny and Mary"
