Lindstrom - On A Clear Day I Can See You Forever - VINYL LP

I felt totally unrestrained making this albumInch says Lindstrøm about his 6th solo album On A Clear Day I Can See You Forever (a title inspired by the 1970's musical On A Clear Day You Can See Forever starring Barbra Streisand). InchI've listened to Robert Wyatt's solo albums and his Matching Mole's debutalbum a lot lately. It so effortless, fearless and free. And not insisting. I was very inspired by thisInch In the autumn of 2018, Lindstrøm composed a commissioned piece for Norway's premiere art centre Henie Onstad Kunstsenter. Sketches from the three sold-out performances became the foundation for the new tracks. InchI decided to keep some of the initial ideas and develop them further. All the songs are based on long one-take recordingsInch, says Lindstrøm InchAlso I've been very conscious about the music on the album not exceeding the length of the physical limitations of the vinyl- , finding that 2 long tracks on each side were the perfect balance for this albumInch This is also the first time ever Lindstrøm has made an album entirely with hardware instead of computer-plugins. He utilised thirty plus synthesizers and drum-machines during his performance at Henie Onstad Kunstsenter. The experience inspired him to embrace a similar set-up when making the album. InchThe joy of making music on actual physical objects and devices makes a lot of sense to me now. After working on a computer for over 15 years, I don't think I'll ever look backInch he says with an almost childlike excitement. It was the accessibility to his enviable collection of music gear - largely consisting of sought after synthesizers - that allowed Lindstrøm to experiment so freely with ideas and soundscapes. InchThe title track is a 10-minutes improvisation on the Moog Memorymoog. I liked the loose feel so I decided to keep everything unedited. The other tracks were written and arranged prior to t

When Lindstrøm and Prins Thomas get together, expect the unexpected. TheNorwegian production duo's third album III is also their first outing together ineleven years, since II from 2009-and as ever, Lindstrøm and Prins Thomas havecrafted their own unique sonic world between the two of them. This is expansive,luscious electronic music rich with texture and intricacy, patiently revealing everyeccentricity while constantly pulling the listener in. Getting lost never sounded sogood.Since the of II, Lindstrøm and Prins Thomas have remained more thanbusy with their respective solo careers, but work on III was taking place behindthe scenes the whole time-slow and steady by sending files back andforth. InchThere's a different process with every album,Inch Thomas explains. InchWith thefirst two albums, we had a door between separate rooms in the studio, so I couldopen my door and play him something. We also toured together a lot after the firstalbum, and after that experience we realized that we work better together at adistance. We're doing our best work by not worrying too much about what theother one of us is doing.InchEventually, the bulk of III came together over the last year, as Lindstrøm and PrinsThomas teamed up to craft a rich and lovely work that recalls the hazyatmospherics of Air, the loose-fit jazz of Lonnie Liston Smith, and the genreresistant electronic music that both artists have made their name on over thecourse of their impressive careers. InchOur partnership is very democratic-we neverturn down each other's ideas. And if it goes wrong, we blame it on the other guy,InchThomas says with a laugh. InchThe tracks that Lindstrøm sent me this time werealmost like standard house tracks. I already had an idea of what I wanted to do, soI forced those tracks into new shoes and dresses.InchAbove all else, III is a testament to the adventurousness of Lindstrøm and Pr
