Trabant | Moment of Truth
The results are a dance record that is both humane and urbane.
CD, TMT

If you name your band after the ordinary men's car of the Communist Age that turned nostalgic hip, what should you expect from the music? By the cover of 'Moment of truth', I would say music from the end of that same age, but from the pro-American capitalist countries that for some reason now turned nostalgic hip as well - that is, you expect Trabant to play 1980s disco pop. Then you hear that Trabant is an Icelandian duo, you expect that it's hip retro with a twist (have you ever heard non-twisted music from Iceland? Right!).
Well, Trabant is somewhat hip and its Vidar Hakon Gislason and Thorvaldur Grondal must indeed be two twisted young men, but 1980s retro? Not really. Trabant is more 2000s dance than 1980s disco and more fashionably eclectic than post trendy simplistic. If your friends keep on trying to convince you that many dance records nowadays are not machine like, but almost human, but you find the evidence not very convincing or not danceable, you should certainly check out Moment of truth. Ok, the record is full of computer driven hard beats and electronic toy sounds, but also filled with organs, saxophones and harmoniums. Besides some corny 1980s retro power disco pop (you gotta love it), this results in a dance record that is both humane and urbane.
