he is pretty awesome i have just two of his albums so far, but they're both wonderful
"ice acoustik" is great, ambient with some cool beats "project 3" is much alike, just with more vocals- but non vocal tracks are realy awesome

i don't know much about it, its just that i like it a lot-its really amazing how many great ambient musicians comes from norway (most of them from tromso), especialy northern norway
i got into this music relatively late- i bought some cd's about a year ago(biosphere, arne nordheim,...), but i wasn't really focused on that music at the time, but when i got substrata and a man with a movie camera i was totally into it-and then i bought all the albums by biosphere i could find (i think im missing two now) and now im just checking as much norwegian music as possible- but im planing on visiting norway next year probably, and im sure i'll get many great albums hehe
im still thinking of visiting biosphere gig in rome on september 13th and 14th

yeah, i dunno what it is about Tromsø..... It's a shame you didn't came to visit Norway (Tromsø) late August, because there was a electronic music festival there with acts like: Biosphere, Kim Hiorthøy among others.
You should also check out Mental - Overdrive "Plugged". It's my fav. "made-by-someone-from-Tromsø" album ever. Heavy on Atari-distorted beats. And ambient, of course.

shit, i spelled it right but it's supposed to be: Mental Overdrive (without the -)
i would also imagine it would be very hard to find.
i don't know if it's more accesible over here. probably, but still they have to order it from somewhere (as you said, directly from the publisher).
I reckon Biosphere would be quite easy find here. but of course, it depends what you're looking for. the best thing is to contact the label.

thanks i just ordered ad absurdum by mental overdrive (but its going to take them a while to get it-i hope they get it at all)
and also new album by kim hiorthoy-after i found this about him:
"Perhaps the strongest reference point would be the Aphex Twin of "I Care Because You Do", but unlike Richard James, Hiorthoy still sounds as though he gives a damn."

i received melke by kim hiorthoy couple of days ago. This is really cool album, it remindes me of manitoba a lot (and i really like manitoba), i must check his other albums, and i recommend this album for all the people that like manitoba or fourtet-i must say i like this one even better, so go for it you wont be dissapointed
