Album Description:
Exclusive Asian pressing of this 2007 release includes a bonus CD with five additional remixes! Trentemoller returns with The Last Resort, a beautifully crafted, astonishing masterpiece that will leave you breathless. The 13 instrumental tracks together form a wordless musical story, almost like the soundtrack of a movie. It manages to capture a whole range of emotions in subtle melodic miniatures, dreamy ambiences, dusty beats, deep dub-tracks and driving groove-excursions. An ever-changing kaleidoscope of colors and moods, The Last Resort without a doubt contains Trentemoller’s best work to date. Hi Note.
Amazon.com:
The Last Resort, a surprisingly accessible and wide-ranging work by minimal and tech-house phenom Anders Trentemøller, is a winter wonderland of quiet phosphorescence and pristine beats. Not that the Danish composer/producer/remixer is above contrasts, as in "Evil Dub," where he allows down-tuned and distorted guitars to run like the proverbial bull in a china shop of elegant, understated programming. But tracks like "While the Cold Winter Waiting" beg comparison to the frosty, glockenspiel-laced ambience of Iceland's múm, and the closer, "Miss You," is a hypnotic lullaby sure to receive ample acclaim. After all, Trentemøller's music is distinctly his own, and his eerie command of dynamics allows him a broad palette, exemplified by a gripping bit of turntablism that pops up in one of the album's first singles, "Always Something Better." The second disc's bonus material reveals the man the DJ community has long known: the patient architect who unobtrusively builds beats, loops, and motifs into a critical mass of refined minimalism. All this leaves little doubt that The Last Resort will earn Trentemøller converts from downtempo and electronica circles well beyond his established fan base. --Brent Kallmer

I was turned onto Trentemøller through my interest in house music, having it described to me as a cutting edge electro-house cd. Really, "The Last Resort" is a far more minimal, downtempo electronic affair, with greater emphasis on ambience and atmospherics rather than thumping house beats. Most of the songs showcase a sophisticated writing approach that goes beyond basic build-up play. Instead, the songs have an overt progressive structuring to them, shown especially with the sublime opener "Take ... Read More

NOTICE: THIS IS NOT THE ORIGINAL 2-CD VERSION.
The second CD contains only 5 tracks and they seem to be unique to this release. These songs are remixes of the remixes on the original 2-CD version.
Other than being slightly disappointed in the second CD, knowing what the original contained,I am never the less satisfied with my purchase.
What can I say? This is just one of those CDs that you pop in and never skip a song, no matter how many times you have listened to ... Read More

I first heard of Trentemoller while watching someone's flash animation online with his song "Miss You" as the music. It was so achingly beautiful that I cried and I had to find the artist and buy the album. The entire album is beautiful ambient music and I love it. I highly recommend it.

This is only my second review on Amazon. I have read others and time to time have thought about putting in my own 2 cents worth. I was a DJ in the '80's, am into electronica and ambient in a big way, a true music lover. I did my first review for "Bodypop" by Germanys answer to Depeche Mode/Nitzer Ebb, And One...and now feel compelled to do my "desert island discs", the "must buys" of great music. This cd is nothing short of brilliant. Look for the 2 disc set, and nothing less, it has one disc of more ... Read More
