i dont really like this album. something about trentemoller is just so cinematic - it's too slick and heavily prepared/ overproduced.
its like each song is made for a different car commercial |

| I get that you can find it slick and overproduced and even Moby-esque advertisement muzak, but you ing love J1's Stardust mix, and that's like 75% film score. |

here's a clue: i don't own any of the albums from that mix except the blade runner album, and that's because i love the movie.
if j1 can fit some of trentemollers new tracks into an equally brilliant mix i'd love that too.
and i wouldnt dare compare trentemoller's easy listening indiedubgazeprog to vangelis |

| I'm really getting into this album - definately a different direction for Anders, but a very fresh and enjoyable one at that. Definately cinematic - reminds me of something John Barry might do on a side project, but with hints of Anders' production style coming through here and there. |

Vangelis has produced his share of wallpapery "cinematic" e in his time. I've been daft enough to pay for a few of his guilty albums. |

| It's not bad, but it's nothing that hasn't been done before. I'd probable give it the occasional listen. "Average" would be the best way of describing it. |

Your raw ideal...I dont know. Preperation and production is part of the craft many producers take up to give the best they can to the listener. That is respectable, given that many EDM producers also are their own sound engineers. The raw sound did not originate from an intention, it came from not having proper equipment to do polished recordings, and the use of Vinyl for samples. It was the acceptence by listeners that kept the raw aesthetic alive, within hip hop, techno, and house. Why respect the raw aesthetic more than something well produced or well crafted? If anything a raw sound is easier to achieve, as long as the producers sound sourcing interest is vinyl based samples or sampling in general, or a really noisey analogue mixer.
When i think of one of the most heavily prepared, sequenced, and "overproduced" albums, which i've recently heard over again, DSOTM, I can only think of great thoughts and respect. On 'Us And Them'...the amount of time and preperation just to get the delay's on the vocals is ridiculous. There was no digital delay at the time, they had to do it all manually to perfection. The whole album was prepared and sequenced with the listener in mind. The raw aesthetic does'nt really care about the listener to that extent. And given that Trentemollers albums is artistically visioned, with the listener obviously in its intentions, it makes perfect sense for it to be "heavily prepared." |

I'm pretty much with this. Two or three standout tracks, the rest had me feeling like it was all stuff I've heard before. |
