"It's About Time" - Todd Terje
Whether you love or hate the snark of its title, Norwegian producer Todd Terje’s (Terje Olsen) debut LP “It’s Album Time” is excellent. It’s smart, exceptionally well–done electronic music that falls somewhere in the vicinity of the disco genre. It’s highly danceable, but the obvious adroitness of its production is such that it’s engaging in a more sober listening as well. Olsen’s prior MO of remixes and singles shows through a bit—the songs tend to blend together—but with a sound that works so well, it’s hard to begrudge him taking full advantage of it.
