SHIT FROM NORWAY

Have been listening to another one of those excellent sampler CDs from the The Wire magazine - subscriptions are very reasonable. This one's called Fjord Focus - A Norwegian Sampler. Play on words apart, it is a sterling collection of out there stuff from the little country clinging to western Scandinavia. Love the track from Food - light industry meets the east, Muslimgauze without the attitude. Xploding Pastix - jazzy film music, would work with a Harry Palmer film (Harry Palmer, not Harry Potter). Some minimalist sh!t from Kim Hirothoy. Vibe city from Jaga Jazzist. Phonophani - laid back laptop music and is that a vocoder? My fave is "Easy" by Salvatore: er, post-rock cr@p. Groovy, ambient jazz funkanation from Wibutee - "First There Was Jazz 2". And on and on...
