Is it hard to follow in the footsteps of Prins Thomas and Hans-Peter Lindstrøm as the next king of Norwiegian space disco? Well, Third Attempt has more than one hand on the crown with the 'We Are All Connected EP' out on Beatservice.
Ok, so lets ignore Inspector Norse for a moment and look at the Olso based producer who has his own 'bouncy house' view that 'We Are All Connected' encapsulates.
The EP opens with 'Blessed' which starts with the gospel rally cry - and indeed we all are blessed - and it's arguably the most commercial of the set before moving onto 'People Are Beautiful' - and, indeed we all are: especially those that can produce a track like this with its "dancin' 'til the morning light"/"feels so right" hook to a deep bass synth weave with a theme from Taxi funk groove which then gets acid busy.
'Tears On My Mixer' gets more acid-synth soul (did I mention Todd Terje?) and ending on the title track, 'We Are All Connected' that's the most, erm... connected as it gets jazz-funked with string backings; obviously a big fan of 70s soul.
Third Attempt, aka Torje Fagertun Splide, is definitely one to follow; or should I say connect with?
And don't forget, we got our communication lines sorted with the YATM interview HERE for the low down on Third Attempt.
