With It's The Arps, Oslo's favorite son continues on the path laid out by the standout track \"Ragysh.\" The fun starts with the burning lasers of \"Inspector Norse,\" who's disco foundation is accented by all sorts of funky elements. And that chord change? So effective. Did I mention the whole record is made on the Arp 2600? Leave it to Terje to craft a catchy house tune out of pure electricity. The quirky exotica of \"Myggsommer\" almost seems like a tribute to the first users of these vintage machines.
