PRINS THOMAS Vinilo y CD

Review: The second release on Prins Thomas' Rett I Fletta imprint - an outlet for "music for Neanderthals", according to the producer - comes from the label boss himself. It features two versions of III album closer Apne Slusa, plus two previously unheard tracks. It's notably more electronic - and pleasingly analogue in origin, too - than much of his work over the last few years, with less obvious krautrock and progressive rock influences. Highlights include a super deep and crackly interpretation of the title track from Margot, an acid-flecked space disco extension of the same cut from Thomas himself, and "Akken E Det Du Snafse", a heavy but stripped-back exercise in murky, late night techno. "Slufsa", a stripped-back beat-heavy dub of "Apne Slusa", is also superb.

Review: It's been a busy year thus far for the godfather of Scandolearic disco Prins Thomas; a third solo album arrived as did a sprawling and self explanatory 10 Years of Full Pupp compilation. The Prins clearly likes to keep himself occupied so it's little surprise to see him add another label to the two he already runs (Full Pupp and Internasjonal) in Rett I Fletta. Blusjketuta features some all new material from the man himself with all four cuts bristling and bubbling with hardware honed aplomb; the stripped back Trommeversjon of "Blusketuta" is most definitely a "cool tool for DJ fools" as Prins Thomas himself states on the accompanying press release. Shout out to Mr Doug Lee for some fine label art work too!
