The Hacker – The Hacker - Love/Kraft (Complete Edition)

the hacher

“Lost”, much like its predecessor “Into the Great Wide Yonder” (2010), serves not only as a logical continuation of his work, but also as yet another fuck-you to whatever genre you thought you had him boxed into. The Trentemøller sound is definitely left intact, yet as a whole it really doesn’t sound like anything he’s ever produced before. Few artists seem to possess that special talent of leaving the audience just as baffled as they are satisfied, but hey, that’s what’s great about Anders. He may alienate a few heads along the way, but it wouldn’t be interesting for him if he didn’t.

“People wanted something similar to the last album, but if you’re getting to the point of listening to people and what they think of your sound...Well, that's not for me.”  -Trentemøller

“Lost” boasts a dozen tracks with something of interest for anyone who’s ever been a fan of the Copenhagen based producer. You can’t really compare it to “The Last Resort”, but the club elements are there. It definitely isn’t “Into the Great Wide Yonder” either, even if it’s equally guitar driven. It’s as original as it is classic, mixing the tried and tested with all sorts of sonic surprises. And making it look easy in the process.

Differing from “Into The Great Wide Yonder”, which was a rather bold cinematic landscape, “Lost” is definitely a far more streamlined affair and way more “song structured”. It’s the kind of record one can only produce after endless months of studio isolation. Just where his creativity flourishes best.

That said Trentemøller has also found a new home – and it’s on stage with a band. “Lost” relays this epiphany in pitch perfect circumstances, finally merging the extrovert and introvert qualities the man has in his command.

Of course, none of his productions would be complete without those unique guest appearances, spanning a multitude of musical categories. They’re all given equal treatment when they’re dropped bang center into the middle of Trentemøller's very own musical universe, having to harness the potential of their talent on Trentemøller’s terms. It certainly isn’t that many folks who are capable of convincing Jonny Pierce (The Drums) or Sune Wagner (The Raveonettes) to appear on a club track and even fewer who are able to pull it off. Anders is in the top percentile of that lot. 

”I think it’s fun to take people out of their own musical comfort zone” he exclaimed to VICE earlier in the year when explaining his seemingly erratic choices. ”Actually, when I begun writing the songs, I had their voices in my mind all along. They just didn’t know it.”

Aside from Sune and Jonny, Trentemøller has managed to bring on board a whole rake of fantastic peers, personal influences and sprouting talent. Co-conspirators such as Kazu Makino (Blonde Redhead), Jana Hunter (Lower Dens), Marie Fisker, Ghost Society and none other than the legendary slow-core pioneers Low are all to be found on the record.

That trademark haunting feeling that defined both ”The Last Resort” and ”Into the Great Wide Yonder” hasn’t been neglected on “Lost”. It’s just been redefined and made way more ferocious, the signature glitchy bass being replaced by sub woofer frequencies far more pounding. Almost punk rock. Instantly conjuring up thoughts of the more droning SUICIDE tracks or even contemporaries like The Soft Moon.

”Lost” documents an artist really hitting his stride. An intricate musical tapestry woven over countless sleepless nights in his Copenhagen studio. Nights invested in instrument experimentation and trashed analog consoles.

You can without a shadow of doubt call this release a genuine study in the art of attention to detail. No matter how many times you press play on this one you’re going to find something you missed the previous time around. Something that suddenly shines a whole new light on what you’re listening to.

Since he had his first No. 1 single chart hit in the UK with a Reggae version of “Twist & Shout” together with Chaka Demus & Pliers in 1993, Jack Radics has been one of the most successful singers from Jamaica. Again in 1999 he achieved high international chart positions with his single “No Matter”.
Now in 2011 Kosmo Records, in collaboration with Jack Radics,  Niels van Gogh and the Sunloverz, have created a new version for the clubs, which combine  the warmth of Jack Radics voice  with the exciting party energy of our club world. This record feels like having a sundowner at Negril beach in Jamaica and partying on until sunrise in Ibiza. And the Remix Package offers a nice alternative to the summery original. Niels van Gogh delivers one of his driving main floor anthems, while Genji Yoshida and Adrian Bahil’s mix has a terrace sort of feel to it. Last but not least Rainer Weichhold contributes his melodic minimal variation of the theme.

Lyrics:
A new day, a new dream 
Waking up, but still sleeping 
All the time remembering
 Pictures of your 1000 dreams

  Again and again and again and again the same dream

  Is it too exhausting 
To be in the wondering?
 Don't you know it will repeat
 Until you find the meaning?  

Again and again and again and again the same dream  

Another chance, take a break 
Face to face, big escape
 Rewind and sublime
 1000 dreams to reach the one

  Again and again and again and again the same dream

  A new day, a new dream
 Waking up but still sleeping
 All the time remembering 
Pictures of your 1000 dreams

Lyrics:
There's a party in my head  
There's a party in my head on oxygen 
Try to organise the ideas in my brain
 A creative chaos that will never end 
I’m a cosmos always ready to extend

  (The sound, the sound, the sound of silence)  

I can stay forever looking at the sky
 It reminds me and realise 
I’m so small, I’m so not individual 
Shining stars a mirror to be wise

  (The sound the sound the sound of violence)  

There's a party in the sky and I don't see
 Too much lights in the night of the city 
But if you stand next to, next to, next to me 
We can touch a little spark of eternity

  (The sound, the sound the sound of innocence)

  I can stay forever looking at the sky
 It reminds me and realise
 I’m so small I’m so not individual 
Shining stars a mirror to be wise

  (Innocence)  

There's a party in my head on oxygen
 Try to organise the ideas in my brain 
A creative chaos that will never end
 Like a cosmos always ready to... extend

BUY VINYL: http://www.darkentriesrecords.com/store/vinyl/the-hacker-le-theatre-des-operations-2xlp
We are honored to announce the latest album from Michel Amato aka The Hacker, ‘Le Théâtre des Opérations’. Michel began making music in 1989 a the age of 17 in Grenoble, France. He grew up listening to New Wave bands like Duran Duran, The Cure and Depeche Mode as well as the darker side of electro Kraftwerk, Cabaret Voltaire and D.A.F. In 1990s he released a series of 12” singles and an album of cold, calculating and relentless techno. In 1997 he teamed up with Caroline Herve aka Miss Kittin and to release landmark singles and albums that effortlessly channeled the carefree spirit of 80s electro pop (of which we released an EP of lost demos back in 2015). Michel’s new live project sees the enigmatic artist go back to his roots, performing a 100% analogue set directly inspired by his first true loves of New Wave and dark, powerful techno.


‘Le Théâtre des Opérations’ features 8 new tracks spread evenly across 2x12”s cut at 45rpm for maximum sound quality and DJ utility. The title comes from a metaphysical journal by French-born Canadian science fiction writer Maurice G Dantec. Passionate about avant-garde techno, The Hacker has taken his influences and crafted a potent homage to the power of the synthesizer. Songs veer from gritty, raw EBM to dark, subterranean electro, effortlessly channeling the strains of the Michel’s musical DNA: Front 242, Jeff Mills, Dopplereffekt, Drexciya. The only vocal track features an appearance by longtime friend and collaborator Miss Kittin, named “Time X” after the French science fiction television series Temps X. All songs have been mastered and lacquer cut by George Horn at Fantasy Studios in Berkeley. Cover artwork features a collage by London-based artist Anthony Gerace, and each copy includes a postcard featuring a photo of a young Michel from 1989.
