One way to get your head around the multitude of ideas swirling throughout Dominique Leone's oddball pop songs is to scan the track lists of the mixes he uploaded on his website. They skip across '70s singer/songwriters, Krautrock, minimal techno, disco, and avant-garde, and that only scratches the surface of his inspirations. He found an early admirer of his own material in Norwegian DJ/producer Hans-Peter Lindstrøm, who released his debut (a self-titled EP, initially MP3-only) in late 2007, yet not before including one of its tracks on a contribution to the Late NightTales mix series. An album, also self-titled, was issued in 2008, the first release on Lindstrøm's Strømland. 2009's Abstract Expression was released on Important. ~ Andy Kellman
