{"title":"Biosphere Vinyl Records","description":"\u003cp\u003eBiosphere is a Norwegian ambient music project formed in 1990 by Geir Jenssen. It has released a wide variety of music, ranging from ambient and drone to electronica and even some house music. Biosphere is widely considered to be one of the pioneers of ambient techno.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBiosphere's most popular albums are Substrata (1997) and Cirque (2000). Substrata was an international success and is often cited as one of the best ambient albums of all time. Cirque was a more experimental album, blending traditional ambient music with experimental electronica. Other notable albums by Biosphere include Patashnik (1994), Dropsonde (2006), and The Senja Recordings (2009).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNotable songs by Biosphere include “Novelty Waves” from Substrata, “The Shield” from Cirque, and “Novelty Waves (Live)” from The Senja Recordings.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAn interesting fact about Biosphere is that its music has been used in a variety of films and television shows, including the movies The Fifth Element and Solaris, and the television shows The X-Files and Twin Peaks.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"biosphere-substrata-36573","title":"Biosphere – Substrata (2xLP)","description":"\n  \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCondition: \u003c\/strong\u003e Brand New\u003c\/div\u003e\n  \n  \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShips from: \u003c\/strong\u003e Melbourne\u003c\/div\u003e\n  \n\n\n\n\u003cul class=\"tabs\"\u003e\n  \u003cli class=\"active\"\u003eDescription\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRelease details\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTracklist\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"tabs-content\"\u003e\n\n  \u003c!-- Description tab content --\u003e\n  \u003cli class=\"active\"\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSubstrata (released, oddly, on the new age-heavy All Saints label) was the first full-length solo work released by Biosphere's Geir Jenssen following a three-year period of silence. The album was the first of three to appear almost simultaneously, however -- the other two being the soundtrack to the psychological thriller Insomnia, on the Norwegian Origo Sound label, as well as his third Apollo album -- proving he'd hardly been in hibernation. Interestingly, while many ambient artists have moved increasingly toward the integration of percussion and rhythmic sequencing, Substrata finds Jenssen almost completely abandoning the rhythmic elements of earlier works such as Patashnik and \"Novelty Waves,\" focusing on dark, subtly melodic, often piercingly melancholic soundscapes that flow seamlessly from one to the next. The album recalls the more abstract moments of Global Communication's ambient works, as well as the glacial expanses of Jenssen's 1996 collaboration with Higher Intelligence Agency, Polar Sequences, and is quite easily among his most accomplished, satisfying works to date.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e-

class=\"active\"\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eDeluxe, remastered reissue of Biosphere's seminal 1991 debut LP, now expanded with seven superb, unreleased bonus tracks from that formative ambient techno era. 'Microgravity' introduced the world to Geir Jenssen's Biosphere project and his patented electronic ambient sounds. The album was the first in a long line of work from Jenssen, and saw him fusing house-influenced beats with film samples and floating synthesized textures. As with the album's followup 'Patashnik', the most appropriate comparison would be to the early work of Richard D. James, but it also contains elements of early Orb or 808 State, albeit with much more of an eye towards melody and harmony. This was music to play in the darkened back room of a club rather than on the main dancefloor and would see the whole ambient electronic genre grow rapidly around it. Biosphere stayed as one of the names to watch throughout the entire 90s (culminating with the incredible and genre-defining 'Substrata') and it's truly eye opening to hear this excellent debut album in this expanded, remastered form.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \n\n    \u003c!-- Genres --\u003e\n    \n      \u003cp\u003eGenre: \u003ca
