the long awaited trentemøller debut album - maybe one of the most anticipated independent albums of the year. trentemøller is one of the hottest artists on the electronic circuit - the man of the moment! a beautifully crafted, astonishing masterpiece, that will leave you breathless. the tracks form a 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 trentemøllers best work to date. although its an electronic album, it also incorporates live-drums, guitars, bass and other acoustic instruments like celesta, glockenspiel, melodica and even dj scratching to create a more organic feel

tweaked monosynth lines and rich polyphonic pads are featured on most tracks, and single note patterns of various timbre often reinforce the grooves. the title track on the a-side is as simple as effective and the name relates to some of the percussion parts which reminded them of a rodent digging a hole in the ground. first on the b-side is >if i was a man<, a slow-down groover with a dark and funky atmosphere, inspired by barbara alcindor s abstract spoken words, becomes more and more twisted towards the end of the track. last but not least, >zig zag<, which is named after the wobbly monosynth phrase which is being tweaked throughout the tune. all tracks speak of sweet, riding rhythms and nights full of action. pure quality

originally released in the year 2000 , now back in stock with the classic tracks loverboy, at the front, white times, the spray...
