Gunerius & Verdensveven - Isolasjon (2024)

The fifth album from this band from Norway.

The band was a trio with a lineup of percussion, bass, guitars, electronics and narration.

This name-your-price Bandcamp album is a bit special. It is four times twenty-two minutes long tracks split into two. Hence tracks a and b. To play this album as the band has intended, you need two audio systems (!!) where you play tracks a as the same time as you play tracks b. And this has to be syncronised down to the hundreds of a second.

Very few has the possibility to do this. That unless you have two big computers in play. But who would be bothered about doing that ? 

The music is in any case avant-garde electronic psych rock. There is some Amon Duul like guitars here and the whole album reminds me a lot about an Amon Duul album. 

The music is pretty decent at times but it really never become more than a half decent album. The music is not particular interesting or exciting.

Those of you who has two audio systems and are bothered about merging up tracks a and b on the systems may be interested. For those of us with one system.... well, it is a name-your-price album. That is it's only saving grace.
