Turbo-charged intermission music, which is to say it escapes dullness but frequently fails to particularly grab your attention. Notable exceptions are "Preben Goes to Acapulco" and the gorgeous "Johnny and Mary".

I'm usually against using EP material for a full length album, but I feel like "Inspector Norse" ends this debut perfectly.

When listening to "Preben Goes to Acapulco" and checking the rym tags - one of them being "space disco" - it became evident this is the kind of cocktail music bourgeois chilling on Zegema Beach would have loved getting drunk and cocaine'd to, with every sense of ridicule being so deeply engrained in their persona they voluntarily indulge in cliche postures and discourses, dressed in the most fantasist clothes you could find this side of the Outer Rings. When Terje delivers cheesy disco like "Strandbar" or "Delorean Dynamite", you wish you were partying with the bourgeois on ZeBeach. When experimentations happen, the record is a tad more poussive: that's when the bourgeois go to the bathroom to powder their noses.

I 'm not hugely convinced by this. I do appreciate the effort to not make this just a compilation of Terje tunes, and most of the time it flows seamlessly (though not always, see 10 eg). But it bothers me that most of the highlights are EP materials, putting a question mark on the album value, and I also find the sequencing/structure really odd. Maybe it is my fault for expecting something more explosive and danceable. The intro track is cool but it builds up to an explosion that does not happen on the slow starting 2, which while ripe with cool ideas especially in the midtrack is more cool than it is good. 3 would have been a much better follow up as it is simpler, more straightforward, and works better as a result. The sambaesque 4 is really fun and could have been made by shpongle. 5-6 are then standard Terje jams and I thought finally the album had started, but then 6 softens in the end to lead into the biggest question mark on this album, the mellow and frankly plain 7 with its unnecessary vocals hiding the few cool synths that maintain some degree of interest through the track. Again, the more energetic 8 with its super cool drums would have been a better follow up, although the track doesnt quite explode. 9 is like on the EP kinda italian discoey ok fine, like on the EP I dont understand 10 at all, then 11 has a lengthy but cool buildup that brings back some of the interest. Finally 12 is again EP material and gets super jammy in its middle, but the track takes its sweet time to end which kind of undermines its impact as a colourful grand finale for me and again makes me question the record structure here. 3.4

Cheesy disco revival, and I wouldn't have it any other way.
