ULTRA
"Lifestyle" CD
(Ajna offensive)
This is ULTRA’s fifth full length and possibly his strongest,
most harmonious to date. Fewer vocals than on past releases and more
cohesive and hypnotic. This comes sheathed in a slipcase and has 5
small posters accompanying it. The posters are the most evocative
in the whole package as the rest of the display is sparingly elaborate.

ULTRA
UNITED "Ultra Audience" CD
(Avant 001) State Art
Ultra United is Carlo Magno - an intense emotional journey
into one man's psyche. An album for all and no one. "Ultra Audience"
is a manifesto - perfect and inconsistent in master-like brilliance.
Sleepless nights, the passion of a love affair or a heated duel at
dawn... The amalgamation of embers and ice - massive and enchanting,
beyond any categorization. Perfected with a beautiful 6-panel digipak
and 16-page booklet. The new generation of Stateart at its best!

UMBRA
/ ILDFROST "Possum Play Falcon" split CD
(Fluttering Dragon 0.24)
Conceptual split of two great bands whose principle is Contrast. It
is Umbra that welcomes us at the entering this realm of sound. It
is almost two quarters of a real perversion, madness and unexpected
tones strictly conformed to the idea of four aspects of a man's personality,
before we finish that a nightmare-like journey. The night is over
and day begins. We are enchanted by delicate and full of magic melody
flowing from Ildfrost's den. In Digipack

ULVER
"Shadows Of The Sun" CD
(te089) The End
Soothing electronics and natural percussion provide the basis
for Garm's warm vocals, singing songs of loss and disillusion. While
the lyrics provide little hope, the music carries a note of quiet
faith. It sees Ulver abandon many of their grand concepts, to focus
on music and human emotion. Contributions by world-renowned thereminist
Pamelia Kurstin help make SHADOWS OF THE SUN a piece of rare beauty.

ULVER
"Lyckantropen Themes" CD
(te031) The End
The original Ulver soundtrack for the Swedish short film Lyckantropen,
produced and directed by Steve Ericsson. The ten themes are improvisations
over three chords produced on mobile Ulver equipment. The final results
are an exciting blend and experimental soundscapes, dark undertones
and haunting passages.

URE
THRALL "Arabian Knightmares" CD
(Tesco 065) Tesco Organisation
Comes in a special well designed cardboard box
folder with 8 postcards. Arabian Knightmares is one man's effort to
reflect the unfolding events of the current worldwide sectarian war
in a series of harmonic constructs, utilizing actual sounds from the
major events of the struggle (9/11, the Iraq War, etc.) to provide
a historic point of reference. The forlorn yet beautiful emotions
that are unmistakable in Muslim song and prayer are reflecteded here
in a context so unique that it is deeply stirring in a musical sense
and simultaneoously brutal with its emotional impact on the listener.
Tears are not uncommon.
