Oct 09, 2006  ‘The Last Resort’, Trentmoller’s full-length take on these two tendencies of contemporary electronic dance music, is a twenty-two-track feast (it comes initially as a limited-edition 2-CD package: this is what you should get) that sums everything that is great about, well, these two tendencies of contemporary electronic dance music.

Trentemoller - The Last Resort Maybe easily envied by some people, also very appreciated by others, this artist represents one of the successful models of a career in the electronic music that burst at a time, when very few were expecting this. Anders Trentemoller has imposed himself step by step; with each new track that was throwing away, the sound was unique, the composition pattern was unique, and today his album 'The Last Resort' sees the light of the day to one of the most prestigious dance music record labels around, Poker Flat. Drivers diebold procomp im4x3tp. If we may say that Trentemoller is a heavy minimalist, it means we are blaming his music.

DJ and electronic music producer, he succeeded in keeping his name afloat, and his music didn't fail and cracked hardy the monthly wave of digital and vinyl music from the record shops. His last achievement is this album which he worked more than one year for, since it contains many tracks, nicely arranged into a CD. Last year's 'best newcomer' is today's well known and prolific artist.

If anybody expects some music to dance to from this album, they might be disappointed, or maybe just surprised. Trentemoller composed through this material a wonderful journey between downtempo, trip hop, electronica, new age, chill-out, trip hop and breaks influences, everything under the belt of an electronic sound. It has often been said that it's trendy to make chill-out music today and that many of the guys don't have a clue about what they are doing. Called chill-out or just simple electronic music for listening at home, or in the car, or anywhere else a bit more private, 'The Last Resort' is an album which will bring for sure warmness, melody, a smile more or less melancholic and nostalgic, sadness or happiness; feelings more profound than the ones which given by the music you listen in the club, when you want to dance, to move, to feel energy and vitality. Besides the main CD, the album also contains a bonus CD in limited edition, where the listeners can discover the excellent tracks Always Something Better (with Richard Davis) and Moan (alongside the vocalist Anne Trolle). Strangers and Miss You, some of the most profound musically evolved tunes. Some other tunes which worth to be mentioned are The Very Last Resort and Snowflake, a fusion between electronica and ambient – a futuristic sound (what can still be futuristic at the beginning of the third millennium?), sunken and sweet, but in the same time abstract and hard to be understood.
