Alongside Hans-Peter Lindstr¢m their eponymous debut album and up and coming ˜Reinterpretations™ re-workings have opened up their so-called ˜Cosmic Disco™ sounds to a whole new audience of music lovers. Having already garnered international acclaim for his own DJing skills the world over we now get to sample a snapshot of Thomas M. Hermansen in action across two sumptuous discs of avant-garde dance grooves, twisted funk, spaced-out electronics, psychadelic fusion, classic techno, disco, prog rock and all manner of leftfield concoctions. Across 38 tracks we get Hawkwind jamming with Visnadi, Bob James going toe to toe with The Salsoul Invention, Joe Meek twisting by the pool with Holger Czukay, Boards of Canada segueing into Prins Thomas™s Norwegian cohort Lindstr¢m and Closer Musik doing the Detroit tango with Recloose, Carl Craig and Parliament. His own label Full Pupp has some of the best house-not-house, neo-disco or call-it-what-you-want dance music records to offer that you heard in a long time. All made by exclusive Norwegian talent, a new outfit called Internasjonal will join the global dots with producers from all corners of the known-world, where he currently turns up every weekend with a crate of vinyl, his record grips and an immaculate way to play with it. In other words, there is no stopping him now. Prins Thomas has been making a name for himself with his own releases, remixes for Blackjoy, Justus Köhncke, Force Of Nature, Simian Mobile Disco to name a few (phew...) and breaking sound systems the world over as a DJ of eclectic dexterity. But it was not always like that. The Prins had to go through the school of hard knocks like so many before him. Back, way back in time, he started playing around as a DJ at a puerile age. Viewed as an extension of his break-dancing efforts, belt-driven turntables were enough to support his mix of hip hop, electro and an array of Arthur Baker™s and Shep Pettibone™s jewels. But as soon as he picked up the bass and played in more bands than Norway has trees, the joy of the turntable took a back seat. Until the early nineties arrived that is. Prins still didn™t have his reliable gang of co-conspirators, but he picked up a weekly residence, where he championed sounds as far fetched as Miles Davis or The Doors together with the craze that was started by Phuture™s šAcid Tracks›. He joined forces with Lindstr¢m in 2003, after mutual admiration and inspiration of each others productions. Lindstr¢m as muso-wizard and Prins Thomas as the nu-skool remix DJ champ. They both have a background from different Norwegian band-projects; ranging from punk to gospel via country to heavy metal to folk and psychedelica but they also share the same passion for collecting records and run their own labels Feedelity, Full Pupp and Internasjonal from their Scandanavian liar. Besides working on various solo-projects, they often mutate into the two headed beast "Lindstr¢m & Prins Thomas" and explore the outer limits of futuristic disko and universal boogie! Featuring many tracks from the outer reaches of disco, funk and electronica ˜Cosmo Galactic Prism™ is an eclectic amalgam of the old and new yet still retains the flow and structure of a Prins Thomas DJ set. As Thomas himself explains, šcontrary to the pompous title of this mix CD, remember this ain't rocket science... It's a mixture of old and new favourites, some you might have heard already and hopefully some that are new to you. I tried as much as possible to make an interesting mix of individual tracks and still have some kind of feel and flow to it. Due to the pityful playing time of compact discs and my eagerness to squeeze in as many tracks as possible (and not all of them made it this far...) I had to edit down the length of some of the tracks after the final mix. Some light trickery and magic were also used...and just a little bit of voodoo.› www.myspace.com/prinsthomas - www.eskimorecordings.com
