Amazing Ambient-Electronica from Norway, harmonic & atmospheric but experimental enough to keep your attention. Fans of BIOSPHERE should check this out definitely.
"Auch wenn die erste Auflage des Albums bereits von 1998 stammt, wo sie auf 500 Stück limitiert auf dem Biophon-Label von BIOSPHERE veröffentlicht wurde, steht "Phonophani" von PHONOPHANI auch im Jahre 2006 noch als eine der besten Electronica-Platten da, die jemals in Norwegen das Licht der Welt erblickten. Schon damals brachte das Album mit seiner gekonnten Struktur, seine überbordenden Ideen und einzigartigen Windungen frischen Wind in eine Szene, die ihn gut gebrauchen konnte. Espen Sommer Eide macht es einem nicht einfach, Referenzen zu nennen; sein anderes Projekt ALOG und BOARDS OF CANADA liefern an dieser Stelle naheliegende Vergleiche. "Phonophani" enthält in dieser Version drei Bonustracks. [press release / Cargo]
"Phonophani is Bergen-based multi-instrumentalist and digital electronics expert Espen Sommer Eide. Originally released in 1998 as a limited edition (500 only) on Biosphere's Biophon label, and a true 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 Alog and Boards Of Canada can serve as references. This issue includes three bonus tracks from the same period. As Phonophani Eide has released two albums on Rune Grammofon, Genetic Engineering (2001) and Oak Or Rock (2004), and as one half of Alog the albums Red Shift Swing (1999), Duck-Rabitt (2001) and Miniatures (2005), the last one being awarded the first Norwegian Grammy for the Rune Grammofon label. Espen Sommer Eide: all instruments, programming, sampling." [press release]
