Stian Jacobsen is the man behind Athome Project. But he also has a lesser known mission: when his good friends Svein and Torbjørn aka Röyksopp have trouble with their computers, Stian is their man. To return numerous favours of hardware and software troublefixing, Röyksopp have delivered a remix of one of the key tracks from Athome Project's self titled debut album; A Feeling Of Care.
It took almost half a year in the rather packed schedule for Röyksopp to finish the remix, but it was well worth the wait! The result is no less than an almost 17 minutes three-part conceptual thing with the title "tre nøtter til röyksopp", inspired by the Czech Christmas movie from the 70's "Three nuts for Cinderella", a movie that is shown every Christmas on Norwegian television - and the remix was finished and delivered in the Christmas.
The original version of A Feeling Of Care is a soulful and funky track with Caitlin Simpson's distinct vocal works. But true to their tradition of remixing, Röyksopp have picked the track into pieces, and built a complete new track. Or rather, three new tracks. The first nut (mer (100 km/t) is a irresistible electrofunk track, the second nut (salt (MS-20)) is a hypnotic and hard progressive house track, while the third and final nut (hav (rus)) is a bit more gentle, but still rather funky electronica track. Three nuts for every taste, in other words!
On the b-side we get the original album version, plus another friendly favour. Athome Project remixed a track from the Danish Universal Funk last summer, and in return, he got their "afro lounge" remix of The Spy, cool and jazzy bossa-mix.
