Nils Petter Molvær: Switch
by Alberto Bazzurro
A tre anni dal precedente Baboon Moon, ecco ripresentarsi il cinquantatreenne trombettista norvegese con uno dei suoi album certamente più interessanti e riusciti. L'avvio sembra ripercorrere in verità stilemi già ampiamente noti, di una fascinosa staticità, ma fin dal secondo brano, “The Kit," qualcosa muta. La ritmica si fa più viva, pulsante, a squadernare un ventaglio ...
Minibus Pimps: Cloud to Ground
by Nenad Georgievski
Characterized by gloom and intricacy, the music on Cloud to Ground by Minibus Pimps is like a set of sonic hallucinogens that permeate deep in the mind. Minibus Pimps is a brainchild of Supersilent's Helge Sten and Led Zeppelin's John Paul Jones, and the result is a creation that is deeply abstract, complex, austere and is ...

Ben Webster: In Norway
by Chris Mosey
Ben Webster refused to fly. When he visited Norway from Denmark, his adopted homeland, he went by boat and when he got there would blame his somewhat uncertain gait on his “sea legs," rather than the large amounts of alcohol he had consumed in the vessel's bar. Sometimes his “sea legs" were so bad, initial concerts ...
SKRAP: K.O.
by Eyal Hareuveni
SKRAP ("scratch") was formed six years ago when tubaist Heida Karine Johannesdóttir Mobeck and analog synthesizer player Anja Lauvdal (also the pianist for Moskus, heard on the trio's 2012 Hubro debut, Salmesykkel), got locked together in a small room equipped with two bass amplifiers put up against each other. The Norwegian duo began experimenting with low ...
Moskus: Salmesykkel
by John Kelman
For a country isolated in the north of Europe, Norway has experienced a surprising number of musical waves. The first came in the early '70s, when producer Manfred Eicher and his fledgling ECM Records label brought the Scandinavian “big five"--Swedish pianist Bobo Stenson and, from Norway, saxophonist Jan Garbarek, guitarist Terje Rypdal, bassist Arild Andersen and ...
