If 1, 2 and 3 are as good as 6, then that's some strenuously bubbling music to get yer enzymes into. Fumbulating lozenges of soundstuff wobbling in and out of sleek vessels of scrunchy musicblobs. Norwegians know more about deep music than other Europeans.

Berne to be wild
Tim Berne must love to be described as "...clattering, assymetric funk, pointillistic improv and full on progjazz thrash..."
That's what the BBC thinks:

Bevis frond miasma
I wish I had one of the original issues of Miasma (on Woronzow Records of course). I have the reissue on Past & Present Records. Newgate Wind and Confusion Days are sensationally good songs.
But if you have the original releases, you get these messages scribbled on the labels:
Side 1: "The electric denture cream of Dermot Walsh. Lost on Shrove Tuesday aboard the last but one train to San Fernando."
Side 2: "Not to be taken in suppository form without permission of the friends of The Bevis Frond who are named on the label on side A.".

But wait for moogs
Bill Mallonee's Perfumed Letter is of its ilk, but wait until the moogs, mellotrons and Beefheart basslines start battling with Tom Petty...

Van otterloo
Orchestrated Thijs van Leer's solo albums in the 1970s. He knows where to put a flute in the mix. And he's not afraid of engaging a soprano to wail wordlessly above some lush cellos.
Look at his face and listen to his sounds
