Go with the flow….
.. that is kinda what Bjerga/Iversen have been doing, since the humble beginnings 4 years ago.. After more than 50 releases and about the same number of gigs since then, it is perhaps somewhat of a contradiction that it's all more or less just as humble….
"Thanks to its piercing frequencies, paranoid multitasking, mantra-like grooves and billowing fields of feedback, this record represents both one of the last bastions of true Punk and a 21st century take on the Krautrock spirit. It is the kind of music that would have your parents worried if you listened to it alone in your room. It is also, in a way, the exact opposite of what you would associate with the Norwegians just by reading about them. If this is a best-of, then it's probably the least representative in the world
."
This CD collects some choice cuts and edits from our now quite (stupidly) extensive recorded catalogue.. It might not be an easy task to single out the best moments, which would sort of be beside the point anyway.. In a way it's all the same song, the song that never ends.. We tap on to the frequency, and sometimes the psychedelic transmissions are seeping through like burning sunlight on technicolored drops of water and other times the harrowing, fleshy minimalism of solitary organ notes and foggy feedback overtones dig out deeper, darker furrows in uncharted territories….
BJERGA/IVERSEN "AMPLIFIED SPECTRAL DECAY" CDR (REVERB WORSHIP)
6 EURO
Clanking drone disintegration convention recorded at Sound of Mu, Oslo this past summer.

SINDRE BJERGA "ANGEL HEART, SPARKLING WITH FIRE" CDR (APOLLOLAAN)
5 EURO
Quite sparse but sparkling set recorded live at the Ashley Road Methodist Church, Poole, UK on my recent tour in October.. Contact mikes, tapes and the electric hum from deep within... Nice hand-decorated silver-on-blue paper-covers.. Numbered edition of 50 copies.
V/A "NO NOISE FOR OLD MEN" CDR (YTSTEBRØD PLATER) 5 EURO
3 long sets from BJERGA/IVERSEN, ELECTRIQUE NORWEGIQUE and LYDHODE
Like three heads on the same beast you wouldn't want to meet in a dark alley... Only kidding..
From numbing guitar feedback drones, via synth levitation for telepathic travels to abstract concrete noise-muffle... Made to tie with a recent Oslo gig, edition of 14 copies.
