I am too weak to share pure abstract love but I hope to finger shamelessly your private parts - most hopefully your soul and your heart With the curtains closed and the lights going out it was there as the room was the night it was holding us tight Perhaps a love bomb letter finds you at home one day with an envelope full of substance that will blast you away Yes, perhaps one day napalm love pours down on you from sky I will tear down towers of your clothes and burn holes in your eyes - simply, just to sympathise Yes, perhaps I should confess commiting crime Ooh, I've being too shy I know, you wouldn't mind I will surely detonate your world with missile kisses metro rush serene love gun's warmth still missing in action Please, why don't you try? You'll see I'm being the furniture of your bliss the accident and explosion motoring to your mildest and the wildest bed in motion hiss Struggling to have more of what is left for our divine kinky pettings drooling odours I'm with you and you are mine 'Have been the furniture of your bliss the accident and evolvement the motor and the kiss and the bed of tears of indulgement Still I am too weak to share pure abstract love I am too weak

about

“Agony / Ecstasy” is a compilation of remakes of Andres Lõo’s output from the last two decades. 
By remixing, covering and reworking some of Lõo’s ambient and dance tracks, crooners and jazzier melodies, authors from Lõo’s homeland Estonia and from places worldwide are giving an up-to-date commentary on how his classics would sound like in the third decade of the 21st. 

The remakers are: 
Vera Dvale and Merel Laine (Sex Tags Amfibia, In the Neighborhood of the Sun the Moonand the Stars); 
Gretchen Lawrence (fka Regret); 
Annie Rist (3 Pead); 
Neuronphase (Porridge Bullet); 
Compound Minerals (Compound Minerals); 
Center of the Universe (Metronomicon Audio);  
Mys-Fakedjj;
Lauri Raus (Holy Motors);  
HUNT;  
Regularfantasy (Plush Management Inc., Pear, Total Stasis, 1080p); and 
Coverboy (Heaven’s Trumpet)

Lõo is in many respects a 21st century man, gliding effortlessly through many a styles and musical endeavours.
All of that is a follow up to Lõo’s 2020 compilation “ECSTASY / AGONY” to be found on his Bandcamp and on streaming platforms.

Blast from the present! 

Andres Lõo: “I gave the musicians a free hand in choosing the songs and did not try to restrict anyone by remixing one particular song. In addition to internationality, the collection also has a generational and a gender dimension to it. I am glad that authors of so different ages and of different origin came together in one collection. In addition to drawing a kind of a line with the music of the previous two decades with the previous collection “Ecstasy / Agony”, I wanted to hear interpretations of my more well known and softer motifs, in a more modern setting – from friends and friendly authors. The agony is ecstatic.”

Kogumikul esitavad oma töötlusi Lõo mahedamatest, jazzilikematest ja vokaalsetest paladest Vera Dvale koos Merel Lainega, Gretchen Lawrence, Annie Rist, Neuronphase, Mys-Fakedjj, Compound Minerals, Center of the Universe, Lauri Raus, HUNT, Regularfantasy ja Coverboy.

Andres Lõo: “Kõik versioonid ja remixid ületasid mäekõrguselt mu ootused ja hirmud. Vera Dvale meelaskurb tõlgendus, koos Merel Lainega; HUNDI, ehk Hannaliisa Uusmaa ja Brigitta Davidjantsi ning Coberboy trance-utoopia “Love Bomb Letteri” tõlgendustena räägivad kõik üsna erinevat, aga sellesama armastamise keelt.
Andsin muusikutele lugude valimisel täiesti vabad käed ja ei püüdnud kedagi vangistada ühe kindla loo remiximisega.
Kogumikul on lisaks rahvusvahelisusele ka põlvkondlik ja sooline dimensioon. Mul on hea meel, et nii eri vanuses autorid ühel kogumikul kokku said. Neuronphase on minu muusikalise hariduse ja tantsuarmastuse võtmes mulle hiiglaslikku mõju avaldanud juba 15. aastasena – Tartus, Illusiooni kinos, rave’idel käies. Teistalt, Gretchen Lawrence ja Lauri Raus on ka omavahel justkui eri põlvkonnist, aga lisaks oma üüratule andekusele, saanud siin kokku põlvkondade ülestena. Holy Motorsi Lauri tegi üldse elu esimese remixi.
Oli oluline ka see, et mu võrdlemisi isiklik muusika ja seksuaalses võtmes paratamatu male gaze leiaks tõlgendamist naiselikust vaatepunktist – midaiganes see ka tähendab. Seetõttu on fantastilise Norra produtsendi Vera Dvale ja Gretcehni kõrval siin ka Annie Rist (3Pead), Regularfantasy Kanadast ning HUNT, ehk Annaliisa Uusmaa ja Brigitta Davidjants.
Fakedjj, Coverboy ja Compound Minerals on laias laastus justkui ühe skeene tegijad, aga neis igaühes on peidus täiesti iseseisev muusikaline kosmos. Selle juurde ka veel ühe Norra produtsendi, Center of the Universe’i, tore “Seto Dubi” tantsuversioon.
Lisaks eelmise kogumikuga eelmise kahe kümnendi muusikale omamoodi joone allatõmbamisele, tahtsin kuulda interpretatsioone oma nn klassikutest ning mahedamatest motiividest, tänapäevases kuues – sõpradelt ja sõbralikelt autoritelt, erilistelt esitajatelt. See agoonia on ekstaatiline.”
Kogumik levib uutmoodi viisil – nimelt annab Andres Lõo kogumiku lugude autoritele tehtud töötluste kõik õigused.
