I uploaded this for Mrs. Neuro, and decided to share with everyone else as well.

I ripped these through iTunes, so you might have to sort out the order. Sorrz.

He is a unique talent in the current music world. Danish producer Anders Trentemøller took dance floors all around the world by storm last year with funky minimal techno-tracks like 'Physical Fraction’ and ‘Polar Shift’, and subsequently was voted “Best Newcomer” by many of his peers and music fans alike.

Now Trentemøller returns with his debut album on Poker Flat, ‘The Last Resort’ – a beautifully crafted, astonishing masterpiece that will leave you breathless. The 13 instrumental tracks together form a wordless musical story, almost like the soundtrack of a movie. It manages to capture a whole range of emotions in subtle melodic miniatures, dreamy ambiences, dusty beats, deep dub-tracks and driving groove-excursions. An ever-changing kaleidoscope of colours and moods, ‘The Last Resort’ without a doubt contains Trentemøller’s best work to date.

Although it’s definitely an electronic album, it also incorporates live-drums, some guitars and other acoustic instruments like celesta, glockenspiel, melodica and even DJ scratching to create a more organic feel. Most tracks were recorded over the course of last year, often in the time between sessions for his 12” singles and remixes, which as Trentemøller himself says “Making these tracks was like having time-off. Moments to totally space out and let the music flow.“

It may come as a surprise that on ‘The Last Resort’, Trentemøller moves away from the dancefloor and instead produces an introspective album that’s especially great for home listening (or listening in the car, or on your i-Pod), but ever since his first release, it was clear the young producer from Copenhagen was able to fuse great melodies and chord progressions with subtle, yet driving beats.

I bought this a couple of weeks ago. Not had a chance to really listen to it but what I've heard is pretty good.
