Album Review
Those of you who've had the pleasure of seeing TRENTEMÖLLER live already know full well that there's sort of a special aura surrounding those dates. I've considered many of the tracks I had heard this far too complicated to showcase them properly in a live setting before my first live encounter. Right when you're past the first track, you're bound to change your mind. There are things that you just can't do live without the expense of doing it becoming too much for a concert. Those things remain on tape. Everything else, including the electronic drums, is being played live. Thus, everything's losing the artificial touch which is attached to electronic music ever since its early days. Most of the material presented on the digital release 'Live in Copenhagen' is taken off the recent album 'Into The Great Wide Yonder' with a couple of intersections from the debut record.
'The Mash and The Fury' expands to over 10 minutes and in the live context reveals dynamics that were yet unseen. 'Shades Of Marble' takes over from there in a rather straight fashion that is an invite for dancing to a beat-driven lullaby. The first vocal track drifts of into the ethereal, solely carried on sustained tones a little bubbling beat joins in. 'Vamp' benefits a lot from the live treatment, the rumbling of the bass is almost palpable to the listener. 'Miss You' off the first album 'The Last Resort' is almost completely an ambient track, if very organic in its fabric. The clarity of the melodies and the crystalline sounds of the xylophone add a lot to the track's thick live atmosphere. 'Silver Surfer, Ghost Rider go!!!Ä is the way to end the show in proper style. It's coming across like a 70s a distinguished 70s indie rock track with random, subtle electronic incursions and at the end there's only silence...
