{"product_id":"biosphere-cirque-music-cd-7090029000207","title":"Biosphere - Cirque - Music CD","description":"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 \u0026amp; 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!. \"","brand":"AEC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49209808027890,"sku":"BIOP26.2","price":16.16,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0830\/7018\/9810\/files\/3477645.jpg?v=1778883611","url":"https:\/\/discandvinyl.com\/products\/biosphere-cirque-music-cd-7090029000207","provider":"DiscandVinyl.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
