Description
In a time when Norwegian music was mostly about punk and nyveiv, a young man from Arendal sat in Scanax Studio and dreamed off into the cosmos. Alf Emil Eik plays mostly all the instruments and also sings on a couple of tracks. Stylistically, the record places itself with one leg in symphonic prog rock and one in funky jazz rock. The music is free and without rules. With a penchant for analogue synths, groovy bass, atmospheric production and a particularly high flair for melodies and moods, Alf Emil Eik created an album that spreads in many directions, but is tied together in a conceptual whole. It feels a bit unfair to compare the album to something special, but bands like Camel and Yes, as well as studio isolations like Mike Oldfield and Todd Rundgren can give a clue to where we are.
