The Arctic Circles 2 7"-series are now half way:
BSS025-3 Sternklang: Afterglow 7" (Beatservice)
"Afterglow" is a laidback funky track, possibly the strongest track on the Arctic Circles 2 compilation. On the b-side, Teebee & K has given "Neolounge" (the title track from Sternklang's latest album) a cool electro treatment.

BSCD024 Aedena Cycle: Cargo Cult CD (27. sept)
Aedena Cycle's second album is a quantum leap forward from the debut, with a further development of the sofisticated soundscapes. One foot is in Detroit, and the other foot is firmly planted in the arctic ambient tradition, and all the time with Gaute's characteristic syncopated rhythm-structures and jazz-feel. In adition to the electronics, the album includes guest musicians on guitar, vibraphone and cello.
BSCD026 Circular: Divergent CD (4. oct)
"Divergent" is a coherent and solid, almost conceptual album. Their goal was to make a genuin "chill-out" record with a toned down expression, but at the same time experimental. It contains references to the great ambient artists of the 90's like Biosphere, Aphex Twin, Autechre, FSOL, Namlook and Global Communication, and is a respectful tribute to the "classic" ambient style.
Bye,
Vidar
