Biosphere
is the main recording name of
Geir Jenssen
- a Norwegian musician who has released a notable catalog of ambient electronic music. He is well known for his works on ambient techno and arctic-themed pieces, his use of music loops, and peculiar samples from sci-fi sources. His 1997 album
Substrata
(TO 050CD/BIO 005LP) was voted by the users of the Hyperreal website in 2001 as the best all-time classic ambient album.
Cirque
- originally released in 2000 - was Biosphere's first album for the UK label Touch. This reissue comes with six bonus tracks and new artwork.
Jon Savage
in Mojo (UK): "
Fourth full album from ambient pioneer. Coming to prominence with 1992's
Microgravity
(BIO 003CD/LP) - which along with the first couple of
Aphex
/
Polygon Window
CDs, defined the genre ambient - Geir Jenssen as Biosphere has made three of the '90s best albums, culminating with last year's near beat-less
Substrata
. The idea - as it always was thanks to
Eno
's
On Land
(1982) - is music as environment (reflecting, creating): working from his base in Tromso, Arctic Norway, Jenssen offers a polar, Apollonian exploration of the human psyche.
Cirque
is a perfectly constructed 47-minute sequence: cold clarity up against real depth of field, synth cycles dissolving into sudden moments of sonic revelation that sound like a waking dream - try the first 20 seconds of 'Black Lamb & Grey Falcon'. (And if you think that's pretentious - your loss). Inspired by the story of a young American,
Chris McCandless
, who walked alone into the Alaskan wilderness and perished,
Cirque
balances the tightrope between warmth and unease, resolving into a moon melody that leaves you a peace. What a good record!
