New Roger O'Donnell - "For The Truth In You" (Dntel Remix)
When's the last time you heard a great Moog Voyager tune? Been awhile for us, too, so we're especially psyched about ex-Cure/ex-Thompson Twin/ex-Psychadelic Fur Roger O'Donnell's long overdue solo effort The Truth In Me. It's Roger's baby top to bottom (written, performed and recorded), with vocals and arrangements coming from Canadian Erin Lang. Here's the spacey single:

Trust Jimmy Tamborello to find a hidden groove in the track. This is what remixes would sound like if all the kids in the Carribbean had laptops. And listened to synth pop.

Stream one minute clips from the entire album here. And, according to his website, Roger will be joining forces with The Album Leaf for a show in Brooklyn on 11/6. Should be synthtastic.

sorry if this has already been addressed, but while were on the topic of Dntel and covers. Ben Folds did this very interesting cover of Such Great Heights using 3 drummers playing very interesting instruments. no laptops or anything.

Fuck Dntel. Jimmy Tambowhatever.
The topic is Roger O'Donnell.
Roger O'Donnell played on Disintegration, one of the pinnacles of Western Popmusic. This track is great, and it sounds like Roger actually PLAYED evertyhing on it. With his HANDS. On an actual piano-like keyboard. Not a laptop.
There better be a LP pressing.
Score = 0
I couldn't agree more about Disintegration. Roger is largely responsible for my love of synths because of precisely that album.
That said... his recent stuff is not really my taste. He is talented, and his skills show, but, I don't know... sounds a little 'new age-y' to me. Maybe I'm just jaded. But I find Dntel much more interesting musically.
Bummer the mp3s are already down. Strange that it happened so fast.
