Trentemøller

Anders Trentemøller's The Last Resort vacillates between sleepy, downtempo suites and soft, minimalist shuffle beats. "Take Me into Your Skin" builds up to a rush of sensations, like a longed-for physical touch, while the hauntingly quiet "Evil Dub" earns its name via distorted bass and guitar tremors.

Anders Trentemøller's The Last Resort vacillates between sleepy, downtempo suites and soft, minimalist shuffle beats. "Take Me into Your Skin" builds up to a rush of sensations, like a longed-for physical touch, while the hauntingly quiet "Evil Dub" earns its name via distorted bass and guitar tremors. Despite those highlights, The Last Resort sounds like a overly kind take on ambient techno. The talented Danish producer is capable of a more dynamic palette, which he proves on a bonus disc of previously released twelve-inch singles. This CD includes kinetic rockers like "Physical Fraction" and "Killer Kat" along with a vocal version of "Always Something Better" by Richard Davis. The real Last Resort lies between the first disc's dreamy landscapes and the bonus disc's techno movements. There is a preponderance of riches here, but it would have been nice for Trentemøller to do the editing for us. — Mosi Reeves
