Extraterrestrial DJs, drones and child vocal samples on this unnerving-yet-meditative post-club album.
Veteran Norwegian ambient composer Biosphere, aka Geir Jenssen, is reissuing his second album Patashnik on his own Biophon label.
Originally released in 1994 by Norway’s Origo Sound and the R&S-affiliated Apollo, the ambient classic will be re-released with new artwork and a bonus disc made up of 12 tracks recorded between 1992 and 1994, which were released digitally in 2014 as Patashnik 2.
Out June 10, it’s available on vinyl and CD. See the full tracklist below.
Last year, Biosphere – who has released on various labels, including Brian Eno’s All Saints Records, since he adopted the moniker in 1991 – reunited with fellow countryman Deathprod for the first time in 15 years to release split album Stator.
