A space disco classic.
2006 | Label: Feedelity / Phonofile

Hans-Peter Lindstrøm is one half of Norwegian beardo-disco duo Lindstrøm & Prins Thomas. While the two work in nearly-psychic tandem together, they are also maddeningly prolific producers and musicians on their own. When not making infinitely pliable space jams on a battery of guitar, analog keyboards and drums, Lindstrøm remixes the likes of LCD Soundsystem and Franz Ferdinand. On his debut I Feel Space, he mixes jittery arpeggiations ("Fast and Delirious") with sybaritic and slinky hi-hats ("Music in My Mind"). In Lindstrøm's early-morning world, disco's dancefloor throb couples with archaic ambient presets, making for a remarkable (albeit highly addictive) sonic speedball.

Over-hyped and overtly hip, this has the makings of something quite nice and literally goes nowhere. Don't be suckered into it.

Definitely Disco

I think Beardisco describes the sound of this album pretty perfectly. There's nothing very inventive in the beats or sounds, but everything comes together nicely in a way that makes me want to put on a white leisure suit, some gold chains, and stand around looking arrogant in a too-well-lit club.

Have always loved the beats and rhythms of Electronic music. This selection just draws me into its depths; great beats, combined with very creative sound combos has a hypnotic effect. After hearing samples, I had to download the entire album, and glad I did, cause I'll be listening to these for a long time to come...good music, good beats and fantastic sounds...highly recommend!

I think I agree with the person from LA >.< Can't put my finger on any single tune, but this series simply sounds better with each spin through the MP3 player. Man, I luv emusic.com...

COSMIC DISCO INFERNO

Zotborg6009006009

Yes, it is new (as in not vintage)... but this is real creative and smart disco with space effects that don't overwhelm. Just the right amount of each element to combine and refract. Absolute nods to Holger Czukay in the chord changes and electric guitar flourishes. Super sultry beats. "Limitations" is a slo-mo disco burner. Sweetness with a touch of sleaze.

They Say All Music Guide

It’s a Feedelity Affair, the debut solo album from Hans-Peter Lindstrøm (following his full-length collaboration with Prins Thomas), is the soundtrack to an unrealized mystical science fiction/action epic directed by Wong Kar-Wai. Handily, it also functions as a greatest-hits compilation for the celebrated Norwegian dance producer, collecting most of the sides from his single releases on his own Feedelity Recordings imprint between 2003 and 2006. Many of the inclusions turn up here for the first time on CD, although several of them appear in slightly abbreviated, edited form, presumably to accommodate CD running time. Arranged roughly chronologically in the order of their release, these productions run the gamut from the brisk, cheerful robotic disco of aptly named early single “Fast and Delirious” to the slinky, vaguely sinister disco strut of “Limitations” to the meandering, tripped-out cosmic disco of “Further Into the Future” (a Prins Thomas co-production) to the balmy, downtempo equatorial disco of “Arp She Said.” Yep, it’s all disco in some way or another, including more or less any way you can imagine as long as it’s instrumental and least vaguely electronic (actually not everything here is instrumental: the supremely dubbed-out “Music [In My Mind],” Lindstrøm’s first Feedelity single, boasts some druggy, disorienting spoken/sung vocals courtesy of Christabelle, aka Isabelle Sandoo.) Otherwise, these tracks are united by a sense of adventurous musicality and a pervasive playfulness that is rarely so pronounced in electronic dance music — dig the myriad extended noodley keyboard solos, the dizzying sequence of chord changes toward the end of “Fast and Delirious,” or the endless restless mutations that compose the stately, epic-length “There’s a Drink in My Bedroom and I Need a Hot Lady.” The compilation’s undeniable peak and centerpiece is also Lindstrøm’s signature tune, the epochal “I Feel Space,” which nods to Donna Summer and Giorgio Moroder’s Italo disco blueprint “I Feel Love” in its title and agitated, arpeggiated bassline, but looks toward the cosmos with its mesmerizing, gracefully yearning portamento synthesizer melody. – K.
