丹麦电子乐手Anders Trentemøller是当今最顶尖的DJ之一,作品幅度与种类极广,从动感酷炫的舞池节奏到悠远沈思的聆听系电子,皆紧抓住乐迷的心。1997年他与 DJ T.O.M合组了哥本哈根第一个live-house组合Trigbag,得到欧陆电音圈的广泛迴响,凭著两首优异单曲《Physical Fraction》、《Polar Shift》人气急速窜升,并展开世界巡回演出。
2006年底备受乐迷期待的首张专辑于欧洲问世,立刻震撼了电子音乐界,荣获包括丹麦音乐奖与Trax、Groove、DE:BUG 各大传媒年度专辑榜第一名等数十项赞誉!《The Last Resort》制作精良,巧妙融合Electro、Dub-Tech、Minimal风格,吉他与弦乐等原音乐器为电子音乐开拓了更多的可能性。
整张专辑飘荡著优美且迷离梦幻的旋律,天衣无缝串连起来,彷彿聆听著电影原声带,银幕就在眼前展开,让人感受到被幻觉迷住般的美感。CD 2独家收录五首混音,如哥本哈根女歌手Ane Trolle的 (Moan)演唱版本,以及由Richard Davis演唱的〈Always Something Better〉,冰冷宁静里隐隐带著炽烈的情感。《The Last Resort》反映了乐手的思绪、欲求、希望与不安,透过音符引起的情绪波折与共鸣更显得动人,流淌著一股暖意,就像造访心中盼望已久的北欧森林,那种感觉并非陌生,而是长久以来就存在。

Denmark-based Anders Trentemøller made his debut in 1997, DJing the local club circuit and occasionally performing live. After a several-year-long imposed hiatus, he returned with his own productions, which quickly grabbed the ear of the then red-hot Naked Music house music label. His debut EP was well received and won praise from DJs in all electronic music genres. This led to a series of 12& singles on such labels as Audiomatique and Tic Tac Toe before finding a home on Germany's esteemed Poker Flat Records, where he released a series of critically acclaimed singles. His ambitious double-disc full-length The Last Resort was released in October 2006 on Poker Flat.
