Well, this is a bit of a surprise. Since it's Sunday, I wanted to start my writing session with a nice, relaxed ambient album. So I loaded this little ep into my media player. After all, I've heard Benjamin Finger's previous albums, and although they had a pretty experimental approach, I usually categorized them under 'ambient'. This time however, instead of relaxing, I've started a little house party in my living room.

In a previous review for this Norwegian composer, I uttered the phrase "this is either uptempo ambient or techno-trance without beats". Well, here come the beats, and they bring a very playful approach to Finger's oeuvre. Now, don't expect this to be stale techno or boring house music. There are still loads of soundscapes, melodic elements and even some repetitive jazz passages. The experimental nature of the music still prevails, that's for sure.

The ep reminds me a bit of acts like Psychick Warriors Ov Gaia, Zen Paradox or Gas and that's a tremendous compliment. Even though I never really was into dance music, I own and enjoy some of these people's records and I certainly enjoy this ep. Now I want to go to a summer festival where Benjamin Finger plays these tunes, and I'll sure as hell be dancing to the beat. I'll meet you on the dancefloor...
