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. Kw On 09/06/2008, at 14:04, Cyclone Wehner wrote: Yeah I think there's an influence, even though his roots lie in country (!) On 08/06/

He used to play in country outfits, that's all I'm saying. Also a Deep Purple tribute band. He came to disco/dance fairly late. His new album has one track that clocks in at 30 minutes (!) - thank God no country tracks do that (though it all sounds like one song to me!) I'm surprised he's n

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. On 07/06/2008, at 5:45 AM, Michael Greenleaf wrote: Have you guys had the chance to hear John Arnol

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

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 ecc
