Biosphere (Geir Jenssen) has two albums out so far, _Microgravity_ (1992)
and _Patashnik_ (1994 - just released). I just picked up the latter and
while it takes a little time to get into, it's very much worth it.
Microgravity is a little short on ideas by comparison. Geir also
has an album with Pete Namlook called _The Fires of Ork_ which I haven't
heard. He also used to do cheezy new-beat stuff under the name Bleep.
No US (or even UK) releases that I know of.
