KETIL BJØRNSTAD / STAVANGERENSEMBLET – 30-ÅRSKRIGEN
The 30-year war is a double album by Ketil Bjørnstad and the Stavanger ensemble that was released in October 1981. The project was intended to be a rock opera. It was supposed to be about being born in the 1950s, growing up in the 1960s and coming of age in the 1970s. The album was a collaboration between Ketil Bjørnstad (text and music) and the Stavanger Ensemble with Anders Bru, Frode Rønli, Øystein Eldøy and Knut Køningsberg, at the time Norway's hottest band. Frode "Froddien" Rønli was also heavily involved with ideas for Bjørnstad's lyrics. The result was a legendary double album. The rock opera never came to be. The double CD also contains the two songs "Lave tak" and "Æ'kke sjans", which were not included on the single CD from 1994 for reasons of space.
