Koppen: Strømmen Gamelan City
As a visual counterpart to all this recycling and restructuring of musical material, designers Yokoland have made a record sleeve with pictures containing only materials and objects that are in use on previous C.O.U. sleeves.
This record is a lot more conventional than Koppen's previous endeavours. Sometimes it moves dangerously close to a pure pop soundscape, but it is still packed with obscure samples and spastic beats. Electronic digi-funk melodies are combined with blues- and hip hop-influenced vocals – and even traces of gospel can be heard. Soundbytes are taken from a huge variety of sources from around the world.
In addition to his long time producer Sissyfus, Koppen's band today consists of Håvard Ese Eliassen on saxophone, Oui Oui on vocals and keyboard, 2mas on vocals and keyboard and Ergo on vocals and percussion. The new album includes an additional disc, containing four remixes from the Japanese pioneers in electronic music: Satanicpornocultshop. Their maximalist approach to groovy music fits hand in glove with Koppen’s music. The disc also contains remixes by the Center of the Universe and the Norwegian skweee-ambassador Easy.
