Fourteen years ago, Hans-Peter Lindstøm looked back on the past and ahead at the future at the same time. Lindstrøm had already been making music for years when he put together his 2005 opus "I Feel Space," but that single -- seven minutes of elegant swoons and percolating blips -- was what gave him a name. Lindstrøm became the man most responsible for space disco, a new dance-music subgenre that sounded like about five different old dance-music subgenres all at once. Lindstrøm's music, as collected on the great 2006 singles comp It's A Feedelity Affair, pulled from ancestral Detroit techno and '80s sci-fi soundtracks and the brain-warping '70s work of Giorgio Moroder. It used the music of the past to forecast a slick, gleaming, melancholy future, and it transformed dance music into something that was, weirdly, both emotional and architectural.
