Synopsis

Album Description
This is Anders Trentemøller's second full-length release, after his astounding and critically-acclaimed debut, The Last Resort on Pokerflat. This new double album is not a new studio album but, as the title indicates, an overview of Trentemøller's impressive body of work. The Trentemøller Chronicles includes Anders' personal selection of his best songs and remixes, which have only been available on vinyl or on compilations, as well as some new and exclusive songs. But the fantastic Trentemøller mix on CD1 and the fine selection of remixes on CD2 make this release a great double album in its own right for extraordinary listening pleasure. The Last Resort took the hearts of music lovers worldwide by storm. At that moment in time the Danish producer had built his outstanding reputation on not only his huge dancefloor hits, but also the remix work he'd done for other artists. Trentemøller's work is an organic combination of hand-played instruments and electronic sounds. Layer after layer of instruments fall perfectly into place and contrasting large and vast echoes and sharp, in-your-face sound bites mix with a dangerous but successful incompatibility. This Chronicle presents new songs and remixes and the best tracks and remixes that have only been available on 12", all hand-selected by the artist himself. Artists in the mix also include: Klovn, Ane Trolle, Richard Davis, Mathias Schaffhäuser, The Blacksmoke Organisation, The Knife, Filur, Jokke Ilsøe, Robyn, Sharon Phillips, Tomboy, Moby and Djuma Soundsystem.
 

CD Reviews

Sublime, peerless, manifestly amazing

(5 out of 5 stars)

"My first experience with Trentemoller came from the outstanding 2006 essential mix (october 15) which completely blew me away with his mellow, ambient electronic tones. since then, my appreciation of other artists in this genre has been shaped by the standard that trentemoller set. it's of course little doubt that i ran out and purchased his album (the last resort, amazon link: The Last Resort) and loved every second of it.



this album continues the greatness established by the first. as you can tell from the product description, this is filled with alot of his preselected picks, so a lot of general pieces will come back again (especially from the first album), but for the most part they are all freshly remixed and inventively presented. even now legendary and well-known pieces like Moan and Snowflake get amazing treatment, with their original motifs present but further amplified with further work done on the part of trentemoller.



if you are remotely interested in this genre of music, it behooves you to take a look at trentemoller and, consequently, this album. deeply atmospheric, at times haunting, but always fantastic - it's worth every dollar you spend."
