MIND OVER MIDI: ICE ACOUSTIK CD Mind over MIDI's debut album "Elektrical Aktivity", released spring '96, has gained an underground classic status with it's mixture of experimental electronica and minimalistic grooves. Helge Tommervag aka Mind over MIDI has been making various forms of electronic music since the early 80's. After years of producing, reproducing, experimenting and refining, he finally released his debut 12" on Beatservice Records in '95. After the "Elektrical Aktivity" CD, two more EP's was licenced to the UK Club Craft label. Both was very well recieved by a.o. Laurent Garnier and Mark Bell (LFO). The second Mind over MIDI album "ICE Acoustik" is finally here, this time with a more minimalistic approach, inspired by a.o. Basic Channel. The ten tracks moves from warm, analogue soundscapes and icy ambience to minimalistic grooves and ghostly drums, with liquid melodies and even some naivistic, post-new romantic lyrics. Availiable in shops in Scandinavia, Germany, England and BeNeLux. Or from Beatservice Mail Order http://www.beatservice.no/bsmo.html Bye, Vidar Beatservice Records P.O. Box 2478, 9002 TROMSO, NORWAY
