COLLABORATIONS-with the song "Run" originally written and sung by Torgunn Flaten, rearranged by Lindström and Prins Thomas.::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: :::::
You can hear Torgunn sing on the CD "Lindström and Prins Thomas" track nr. 13, the only vocal track and "album-closer" on their debut from 2005 on Eskimo Recordings.
They have also released the EP "Further into the Future" in 2004 with "Run" on side B, on Feedelity Recordings.::::: "Run" fetched good reviews..here are some:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: ::::: ::::::::::::::::::
RUN : FEAT...TORGUNN FLATEN - This one is a downtempo cosmic discopiece originally written by folk-vocalist Torgunn Flaten, but re-arranged in a slightly more futuristic version. Huge echoed synth-themes and harmony-guitars fits nicely with Torgunns vocals we think.:::::::::::::::
LINDSTROM & PRINS THOMAS FURTHER INTO THE FUTURE EP (FEEDELITY) Back on the horse (literally once you see the jacket). Lindstrom teams up with his Pal and label boss of Tamburin records for another journey into the land of Moroder and other Italo disco bombs. This time lending a gorgous Sarah Mclauclan tupe female vocal (Torgunn Flaten) to the mix making this one more of an ethereal downtempo jam. But none the less the musiccality of these to kitty cats rises them to the top of their game. http://www.houstonbeats.com/board/archive/index.php/t-45125. html:::::::::::::::::::::::::
Opener, 'Forelopig Bit' could be an ESG re-edit, with it's funky-as-hell bassline and punk-funk drums. Also, 'Run' is just too good for words.
Oh, that vocal!::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
