Is Trentemøller electronic music Jimi Hendrix? great a It was the fans who felt Friday night at Store Vega.
It is almost inconceivable that it is already three years and one month ago, Trentemøller last played in Store Vega at the end of his last world tour. Personally, I have to check both my own and in Vegas calendar for a view to determining what my feeling great a so stubbornly refused to comprehend: that yes, it is indeed great a true. Three years and autumn months have passed. Unbelievable. And so melancholy feelings great a towards future brutal speed can you, this mild foggy November Friday once again take in Store Vega to hear Trentemøller that with the release of "Lost" is still Scandinavian master of soundtracks for melancholy seasons, cutting and sleepless nights. There are many songs from the new album, I'm looking great a forward great a to hearing live. Particularly "Still On Fire", the first song that really got its claws into me on the record, and I have high expectations for concert purposes. great a Magically enough begin the concert with just the track, a pumping kick start with its insistent bass in bad A minor. I'm caught. The Swede, who is standing next to me also. "This is my favorite number, this is the best thing on the plate!" cheer him enthusiastically and gives an entrained cuddling. On stage is Trentemøller and band as sharply great a cut silhouettes against the massive luminous light that changes color during the concert, from melancholy blue and purple glowing pink. The first track merges into some ever-intensifying electronic loops. That number does not know the Swede. "But it will be played at my funeral," he says. "I do not know where he gets all the ideas.

The first blast shower in earnest through the audience at the concert fourth number, when Marie Fisker emerge from the band silhouettes to sing, bathed in white spotlights. There are many guest vocalists on "Lost", including Marie Fisker himself with the song "Candy Tongue", great a but this evening it is she who takes care of all the vowels (in addition to playing guitar), and she does it great. great a
The experience of the concert as a whole captured perfectly, as Trentemøller, about halfway great a through the concert, alone on stage, estimates the flimsy quivering glockenspiel tones from the masterpiece "Miss You" on what looks like a mini-xylophone strapped on a toy piano. Oh, melancholy minimalism, subsequently, great a as the other musicians emerging from the color of the sea again, evolving into a magnificent, noise rocket Schwung.
How did we get from one to the other? Seamless, smooth, as the intense colors behind the musicians, but discovering the change when it has occurred. The effect is hypnotic.
The concert peak seen in a sublime sammenmix of the masterpiece "Moan" and the familiar hook from The Cure's edderkoppemareridt "Lullaby". And suddenly, with what feels like a bang, the concert great a is over. The time lost on the way. At the same amazing view as the three years that have passed since the last concert.
