5.0 out of 5 stars rich and beautiful, June 30, 2003
By "tonopahslim" (the underneath) - See all my reviews
Don't expect this to jump out at you and grab you by the neck - it's a subtle form of musical beauty that seeps slowly and quietly into your brain. It's dark and deep and moody and monumental, and even soothing, all at the same time. You can call it electronica, perhaps, but it's not about dancing - any rhythm is very subtle - and while it's definitely not a drone, it is rippling with texture and temperature. The previous double-disc "Substrata" (be sure to buy it paired with the "Man with a Movie Camera" bonus disc) is also amazing. Probably my favorite record of 2002.

5.0 out of 5 stars Divine Craft, July 8, 2006
The title, Shenzhou, means Divine Vessel (or Divine Craft) in Chinese-- no other title could be more apt. Jenssen's re-working of Debussy is nothing short of masterful. Each Biosphere album seems to have a destination in mind with regards to its content (Cirque saw us on glaciers, Autour Dela Lune took us to the moon, etc), and this is no exception. Here, Geir puts us on a boat gliding effortlessly through a fall forest-- the colors are warm, the ride is smooth with just a touch of a nip in the air. Fantastic.

5.0 out of 5 stars This must be heard., September 27, 2007
This is a very unique kind of fusion, Geir Jenssen is a very original artist. He specializes in the electronic scene, but he cannot be called a "DJ" he is a true MUSICIAN, an artist. This album is an experimental hour worth of ambient fused with loops of, what I believe are samples of Claude Debussy's classical works (afterall, this album is based on his works)

This is quite a relaxing and soothing piece of an album. The soundscapes are very dark and gloomy. While I love the whole work, the standouts for me are "Ancient Campfire" and "Path Leading To The High Grass" the latter of which is absolutely amazing I think.

sample it, and see if this is what you want to buy - it certainly is for the seekers of something original.

Prior to doing a proper writeup on Geir Jenssen, I listened to all of his grandiose works. Twice. OK, maybe not all. Read more

This is great electronica. Slow-mo loop fragments of Debussy weave in and out of Biosphere's minimalist soundscapes. It's great stuff. Read more
