5.0 out of 5 stars
A wonderfully original compilation of obscure tunes,
This review is from: 01 Copenhagen by Trentemøller (Audio CD)
Trentemoller has largely left his minimalist techno roots behind with this exquisite collection of gems.
I bought this album on the strength of Four Tet's beautiful remix of Caribou's Melody Day - a moving, stripped down anthem with fabulous ensemble vocals from Luke Lalonde, Adem and Little Plane. Whilst this track is one of the standouts, there is a wealth of great stuff on offer here. I Got You On Tape, an obscure Danish jazz combo, weigh in with Somersault - a gorgeously chilled slice of mellowness with a dreamy refrain that will stick in you head for days. The Brian Jonestown Massacre's Anemone is a shuffling, shambolic chunk of psychedelia that is reminiscent of both Primal Scream and the Rolling Stones. My wife had never heard of Suicide before I bought this album, but she immediately fell in love with the seminal punk/synthesiser duo's edgy offerings of Cheree and Ghost Rider - amazing to think that these tracks are well over 30 years old, they could have been recorded yesterday. Although most of the album is folk/acoustic/post rock/psychedelia, Trentemoller does slip in a couple of stomping techno workouts including an edit of his own, aptly named Vamp. This is a big, phat, grinding voluptuous whore of a track that is such a dirty slab of music that you may need a shower after listening to it. Also worth a mention is the Muscleheads Phosphorescence - a relentless, pounding maelstrom of bleeps and buzzes that will exhaust you just as it reaches its coda. There's a lot more here, including a couple of tunes from Denmark's answer to the Ting Tings, the Raveonettes and the haunting I Turn My face To The Forest Floor by my home town Bristol's own Gravenhurst. All in all a cracking compilation that I can't recommend highly enough.

Every once in a while you might stumble upon a piece of music that speaks to you on such levels that it communicates with the very essence of the human self. Where throw away pop music can be a time filler, and often a time killer, music with real integrity, depth and soul is the kind of thing we actually make time for!

Amazing album that just speaks to you on so many levels through so many genres all perfectly meshed together on this masterpiece...one of those albums that makes you go and seek out more of the tracks by those featured...I cannot recommend it highly enough.
If you are serious about your music, you need this album in your collection. NOW!
