Norwegian isolation as dance music; where the chill-out room went arctic
Microgravity is where the chill-out room went Arctic, Norwegian isolation rendered as dance music that barely moves. Biosphere took ambient techno somewhere genuinely cold and remote, and it's the record that established the sound he'd perfect on Substrata. It's a debut with a fully formed vision. Substrata refined what this one sketched, and the sketch is beautiful on its own terms.
№ 16 on The 10 Best Ambient Albums
Before the ice set in. Ambient techno with tunes and a pulse, and the record Jenssen made his name on.
