- Reductive as it sounds, there are essentially two modes that Hans-Peter Lindstrøm works in: pop and prog. Each invariably comes with rich instrumentation and galactic disco trappings, but the results aren't always the same. For all of his fearless expeditions into kaleidoscopic prog, the Norwegian artist sounds most at home when crafting sparkling dance-pop nuggets. "Home Tonight," Lindstrøm's first solo production in two years, folds those proclivities together, and the results hearken back to some of his best work.
There are four versions of "Home Tonight" here, including two edits, an instrumental and an "Extended Version" that serves as the original single. Everything is credited to Lindstrøm & Grace Hall, but if it were revealed that the Skin Town singer had only been sampled for "Home Tonight" no one would think twice about it. Short vocal phrases punctuate this windswept dance track, peppered more as harmony and texture than verse and chorus, but they nonetheless add a pop-minded sheen to the nine-minute mini-epic. Like a bolder and brighter interpretation of "Let's Practise," or a more patient "So Much Fun," "Home Tonight" marries disco's unyielding energy with Lindstrøm's inherent urge to find just how far he can take a single groove and melodic theme. It turns out he still hasn't found his limit.
