Prins Thomas is by now intrinsically linked to the eclectic and space disco sounds emanating from his homeland, Norway. Alongside Hans-Peter Lindstrøm their eponymous debut album and ‘Reinterpretations’ re-workings have opened up their so-called cosmic disco sounds to a whole new audience of music lovers.
Having already garnered international acclaim for his own DJing skills the world over we now get to sample a snapshot of Thomas M. Hermansen in action across two sumptuous discs of avant-garde dance grooves, twisted funk, spaced-out electronics, psychadelic fusion, classic techno, disco, prog rock and all manner of leftfield concoctions.
Across 38 tracks we get Hawkwind jamming with Visnadi, Bob James going toe to toe with The Salsoul Invention, Joe Meek twisting by the pool with Holger Czukay, Boards of Canada segueing into Prins Thomas’s Norwegian cohort Lindstrøm and Closer Musik doing the Detroit tango with Recloose, Carl Craig and Parliament.
