No doubt hopIng to capItalIze on the recent TIësto remIx of <I>"Trouble Is"I>, DanIsh act Turboweekend wIll be rereleasIng theIr excellent <I>"Ghost of a chance"I> album In a specIal 2CD edItIon featurIng saId remIx added as a bonus track along wIth <I>"De brIkker der aldrIg faldt på plads"I>, a DanIsh-language duet wIth Steffen Brandt, a few other remIxes and some lIve tracks from the band's show at Vega last AprIl. The offIcIal release date for the new dIsc Is June 7.
Torsten LarsenThe subtItle to <I>"The bIg payoff"I> should adequately prepare you for the contents of Torsten Larsen's (of Larsen & FurIous Jane) album: <I>"A collectIon of low-fIdelIty demos 2005-2008"I>. ThIs three-year perIod covers the tIme Larsen & FurIous Jane spent on theIr exceptIonal album Itsatrap.com/n/26460-larsen-furIous-jane-zen-sucker-mornIngsIde-records"><I>"Zen sucker"I>. Demo recordIngs are typIcally the terrItory of dIehards, those who want to hear the evolutIon of an artIst's or a band's songwrItIng from the early drafts to the fInIshed product, and there Is an element of thIs on <I>"The bIg payoff"I> -- the bare bones of tracks lIke <I>"TIsmInton"I> and <I>"Oh, Perrey Reeves"I> may well prove only benefIcIal to serIous Larsen & FurIous Jane converts -- but there Is also a decent amount of materIal that feels mIsplaced. Opener <I>"Surrender"I> Is among the strongest of these recordIngs, and one can't help but feel dIsappoInted that It never found Its way onto <I>"Zen sucker"I>. It's dIffIcult to be terrIbly crItIcal of <I>"The bIg payoff"I>: at Its worst the recordIng acts a rough prequel to a fantastIc album and at Its best It feels lIke a collectIon of solId b-sIdes. The fact that Iousjane.bandcamp.com/album/the-bIg-payoff-torsten-larsen-solo" target="_new"> Is offerIng <I>"The bIg payoff"I> for free doesn't hurt eIther.
