Wow @ Henriksen's Cartography, might very well be my favorite record of the year. Anyone?

sounded great on first listening a few days ago, but will give it another spin later today

It's really, really great indeed. Must dig into it's 'theme' some more, which was easier with the evenly beautiful but much more esoteric Strjon, but I like how there's slightly more electronica trickling through. Also, David Sylvian reading his poetry is gorgeous.

tuesday's late junction is worth listening to if you like this stuff.
the sylvian track would be better ... as an instrumental.

At first listen I didn't really get into the Sylvian track either I must admit but most of it is really good. Henriksen's freaky talented and seems like a nice guy too, it's almost painful

ok so these guys got three (!!!) albums coming out this year. 10 and 11 looks to be out already and 12 coming soon. apparently 11 is a vinyl only release of outtakes from the 8 sessions, i'm very psyched for that one.

What's the best post-Jarle Supersilent album? I lost track after the DVD release (which was 7 iirc)

9 was really good (all three of them improvising on Hammond organs; had a very early Tangerine Dream feel at times) and the most recent one, 14, is good too, with lots of short pieces.

Short pieces sounds...interesting. I'll have to check that one out first. Thanks!
Really enjoyed the recent Ståle Storløkken / Thomas Stronen album as Humcrush and it made me think about the Supersilent albums I might have missed.

Very late to the party* I know, but it's 3:30 in the morning and 4 sounds perfect.
When I was doing college radio between 2007-2012 I must have heard 50-100 CDs from European bands that I would describe as forgettable variations on this sound (loose, jazzy drumming, abrupt electronic noises, amelodic skronk). Folks who were hip to this in the late 90s or thereabouts, Are these guys seen as particularly innovative or influential? I definitely knew the name Supersilent (and the packaging lol), I feel like they were always around and always respected.
*: Bizarrely, what drew me to them was my love of the 2019 Deathprod album, Occulting Disk
