“Viking horns in zero gravity. Norway has always had an unusual musical climate. At one end of its spectrum is black metal; at the other, the sort of zero-gravity electronica that seems tailor-made for Cafe del Mar compilations. Bjorn Torske falls towards the latter camp – his remix of Royksopp

“Sunkissed is the mixtape version of G-Ha and Olanskii`s monthyly club night of the same name in Oslo, Norway, a dance party the duo claims is tied together by “a base of funk and leftism”.

Swap the echo box edits for some plane tix, New York cosmic deejay bros!” (FADER MAGAZINE)

June 3, 2007Comments Off
"Sonic Youth`s Thurston Moore and Jim O`Rourke alongside some Norwegian free jazzers, and The First Original Silence compromises 2 long and noisy improvisations recorded on tour (3/5 UNCUT). Thurston also pens the sleevenotes for a more compelling companion album Two Bands and a Legend by Cato Salsa Experience and The Thing with Joe McPhee. These exhilarating free jazz versions of garage rock nuggets are three-minutes blasts of free energy that compete with prime MC5, guaranteed to appeal to the rock pig inside every jazz buff (4/5, UNCUT).
