    rje had another ace up his sleeve: It's the Arps, a glistening modern disco EP that, at the risk of splitting hairs, is probably his finest yet.

    It's some of his best work, but it's done with the gimmick of relying solely on the ARP 2600 analog synthesizer.

    Rather than limiting this EP's scope, restricting it to the use of only one synthesizer allows Terje's innate quirkiness and sense of humour even more room to maneuver.

    The whole EP feels weightless and aloft as if we have a clear view of the blinding blue gap between its heights and depths.
