It's very usual do find country song patterns in technopop. Maybe
it's due to the idealization of the crooner figures. Stephin Merrit
said that too.

He may claim or reject, whatever. He sounds retro, obviously. The
disco sounds, be it space, italo, or even latin, are there. Don't
you think? And i'm not talking as a casual disco listener.

To be fair to Lindstrom he rejects the space disco tag and feels
it's a media buzz, the whole Norwegian cosmic disco 'sound' -
only space disco homage he ever did he claims is I Feel Space.

Have you guys had the chance to hear John Arnold's and Jeremy
Ellis's "Nightlife" that was played on Gilles Peterson for the
last two weeks. This is a re-cut of the disco classic Night Life
put our by Blair, one of the original members of the Blakbyrds.
Not "space" disco, but it comes close. Good stuff...
Quoting Kowalsky <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
I posted here a mix a recorded, recently, with a lot of space
disco and
italo disco tunes. I love space disco originals, and was
suposed to
like Lindstrom's tracks. But they sound kinda generic in the end.
Honestly? I prefer some of the Cloud releases or even some
Italians Do
It Better releases.

What do the Detroit fans here say on the cosmic sounds coming
from Norway? I'm excited to hear Lindstrom's forthcoming
album. Another Station is my favourite song of his - sublime
- though everyone rates I Feel Space. Todd Terje too is up
and coming and interesting. That crew is quietly eccentric
(Todd is into pop like Madonna's La Isla Bonita) but they're
making some lovely melodic electronic music that I could
imagine appealing to fans of the more melodic side of techno
(Mayday, Martian, Inner City etc).
