Editor's Info:
Originally released in 1998 as a limited edition (500 only) on Biosphere´s Biophon label.
A breath of fresh air at the time, this excellent debut from Phonophani still stands as one of the very best electronica albums ever released in Norway. Well crafted and full of ideas and original turns, it has a rare timeless quality that makes it sound as fresh today as it did back then. It´s difficult to come up with comparisons, but certain aspects of early Alog (naturally) and Boards Of Canada can serve as references. This issue includes three bonus tracks (20 minutes) from the same period.
This is indeed essential listening. Because whether or not it is the best Norwegian electronica album, it’s an amazing electronica album period, and my favorite little Norwegian label has done us all a favor by re-pressing Espen Sommer Eide’s first effort under this moniker. I dare you to listen to this and not have to wrap your brain around the fact that Eide was pulling this shit in 19
