Into Ulver?

Check out this interview, where they comment on Aphex Twin
as an influence on their latest album (a soundtrack)

Yup.. But their new stuff is apperently some ambient
experiments. But their previus is black metal, and acoustic
guitars with old church like singing... wery exiting,
melancholic band...

yeah, damn cool Ulver, I preffer their black metal era over
their electronic stuff.

In some of their favorite playlists, i saw the Tri Repetae
album, and Matmos and Squarepusher. They seem to be BIG fans
of Coil too.

One of the main influences I can hear in your work is
that of Aphex Twin. Are you a fan of his work?


I have the utmost respect for Aphex Twin. I listened to
Aphex a lot over the last few years, though I don't listen
too much to him nowadays. His latest album, Druqks, I only
listened to twice. I think Aphex Twin has had his day in my
books. Aphex has quite a cheerful vibe, whereas Ulver has a
more solemn tone. During the early '90s, I really got into
electronic music like Aphex and Ninja Tune Records. Now I
listen to stuff like Warped. It's harder electronic music,
which is a little more pure in form. I also really like Coil
from the UK. They've changed as many times as Ulver has, and
they're still pushing themselves even further. Which is
cool, because music is a channel to express significant
ideas.

Don't know anything of them. I do like Arcturus however, who
make similar music.

Yes, thats the soundtrack thats influenced by aphex! (among
other interesting artists =))

I really really like their style. They make some excellent
non electronic music too.

I've never managed to get into Ulver´s music. But they have
this remix album out now where artists live Bogdan, Fennesz,
Merzbow and Pita are remixing them.

I have loved Ulver for years.. . #1 band before tortoise.. .
their newer stuff is amazing.. . and Id never compare aphex
twin to ulver because ulver blows him out of the water.. .
true they make very different kinds of electronic music.. .
but Id sell every single one of my aphex cds for a new ulver
release if I could.. . not that its exactly necessary. ..

the remix album is a little bit of a let down.. . some good
some bad.. . fennesz sucks balls.. . his is the shittiest
track on the whole album.. . bogdan is fun and merzbow is
good.. . but the stars of the lid and the third eye
foundation remixes take the cake.. . superb stuff. ..

Bumping my own old thread to link to this very good video:

Ulver

Maybe a bit nu-metallish at times... :(

But a cool video, and a great track i think

Im not very into their music, but i like their recent work,
Especially the soundtrack to Svidd Neger.

I dig their black metal and some of their newer stuff, good
band.

Theres this album, "a quick fix of melancholy"

I really think a lot of people would like that, if they gave
it a chance. Amazing stuff.

nu-metallish? honestly I can't see why you say that

their latest, BLOOD INSIDE, check those albums
