Listen as Trentem?ller takes you on a journey into the forest. Side A is an obvious choice to bring in some listener's attention, smooth club grooves and yummy textures. I get lost on trying to get through the Mathias Schaffhauser remix, it's utterly disturbing and I only wonder what he was thinking at the time. But we are eventually presented with "Feeling Good," an intense ride into the deep dark trees where he prepares us for his glorious remix (starting Side C) of "What Else Is There?" by Royksopp. I didn't much like the original version and this feels like one of those remixes that was simply meant to be. After that we get one of his older club tracks, which also is one of his best reverb savvy tracks taking us even deeper into the earth. Only then are we ready for his nasty version of "We Share Our Mother's Health." You'd think the Knife's music was far enough into a fascinating nightmare, but that's why Trentem?ller is great. He takes it into new territories. The album is more of a DJ collection, in which i'd prefer listening to the 2xCD for the assorted flavors. Either way, he's collected some gems here. A very rewarding listen.

The Chronicles presented are a package consisting of two discs. The first is a continuous mix in the typical Trentemoller style, which means he takes you on a musical journey, packed with emotional highlights ('Forest', a live version of 'Snowflake' and his remix of his own tune 'Moan'). The second disc, on the other hand, is a collection of the various remixes he has done over the years, of which his reworking of Royksopp's 'What Else is There?' is obviously his best. Esssential for Scandinavian techno and ambient enthousiasts.
