''Where You Go I Go Too'' is the first studio album by Norwegian electronica artist Hans-Peter Lindstrøm. It was first released in the United Kingdom on August 18, 2008 and was subsequently released the next day in the United States. The album comprises three tracks, roughly 30, 10, and 15 minutes in length. ''Where You Go I Go Too'' is usually labeled "space disco" due to its "spacey, psychedelic" feel and four-to-the-floor beats. Production of the album followed the 2006 release of ''It's a Feedelity Affair'', a compilation of singles. Lindstrøm had become dissatisfied with simply producing remixes and average length songs, which led to experimentation with lengthy tracks. The album received positive reviews from critics, who praised its slick production values and epic scope. At the 2009 Spellemannprisen award ceremony in Norway, the record won the award for "best electronica album". ==Background and production== Following the release of ''It's a Feedelity Affair'' in 2006, Lindstrøm had become tired of producing dance remixes and average length vocal pieces.〔〔 He began giving the artists and labels mixes with slower tempos. Lindstrøm also felt he was unwisely incorporating musical ideas into remixes instead of original works,〔 which led to experiments with lengthier tracks for an original album. Four to five tracks were originally envisioned for ''Where You Go I Go Too'', but only three were chosen. The title track was a time-consuming project; Lindstrøm called it a "nightmare to finish."〔 The song comprised over 70 layers of sound and spanned almost 30 minutes. Around half the sound consisted of live performances, which Lindstrøm found difficult to merge with the electronic portions. After changing the music, he would usually listen to the entire song and evaluate the change.〔 The repeated listens took a toll: "I needed to listen to 30 minutes of music every time I did something," said Lindstrom "So I'll never gonna do it again." Despite this, he enjoyed working with extended songs because it allowed them to evolve and move at a slow pace.〔 The album mixing was delayed during spring 2008. Typically, Lindstrøm would mix the record himself, but he felt overwhelmed by the album's scope and decided to seek outside help: "I’ve kind of discovered that I’m not good at doing everything myself. The problem with involving other people is that sometimes all the progress gets slowed down, but as long as the results are good, I’m happy... Leave the post-production to somebody else."〔 Though a common theme was not purposefully established for the album,〔 some journalists noted similar feelings of travel and adventure when listening to the record.〔〔 Lindstrøm has recommended people listen while traveling,〔 and believes his travels may have influenced the album: "I don't particularly like traveling, but I've realised that it's perfect for listening to whole albums... I'm sure the way I'm listening to music now ... has something to do with the music I'm writing."〔 The song titles were left "open" so "the listener could make up his own story."〔 ''Where You Go I Go Too'' was released by Smalltown Supersound on August 18, 2008 in the United Kingdom, and August 19 in the United States.〔 A special edition was issued on December 23, 2008. The album featured a bonus disc with edited versions of the original tracks by frequent Lindstrøm collaborator Prins Thomas. Lindstrøm toured in Austria, Germany, Spain, and the United States that fall. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Where You Go I Go Too」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
