He is well known for his works on ambient techno and arctic-themed pieces, his use of music loops, and peculiar samples from sci-fi sources. His 1997 album Substrata (TO 050CD\/BIO 005LP) was voted by the users of the Hyperreal website in 2001 as the best all-time classic ambient album. Cirque - originally released in 2000 - was Biosphere's first album for the UK label Touch. This reissue comes with six bonus tracks and new artwork. Jon Savage in Mojo (UK): \"Fourth full album from ambient pioneer. Coming to prominence with 1992's Microgravity (BIO 003CD\/LP) - which along with the first couple of Aphex\/Polygon Window CDs, defined the genre ambient - Geir Jenssen as Biosphere has made three of the '90s best albums, culminating with last year's near beat-less Substrata. The idea - as it always was thanks to Eno's On Land (1982) - is music as environment (reflecting, creating): working from his base in Tromso, Arctic Norway, Jenssen offers a polar, Apollonian exploration of the human psyche. Cirque is a perfectly constructed 47-minute sequence: cold clarity up against real depth of field, synth cycles dissolving into sudden moments of sonic revelation that sound like a waking dream - try the first 20 seconds of 'Black Lamb \u0026amp; Grey Falcon'. (And if you think that's pretentious - your loss). Inspired by the story of a young American, Chris McCandless, who walked alone into the Alaskan wilderness and perished, Cirque balances the tightrope between warmth and unease, resolving into a moon melody that leaves you a peace. What a good record!. \"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.1 Nook ; Cranny \u003cbr\u003e1.2 Le Grand Dôme \u003cbr\u003e1.3 Grandiflora \u003cbr\u003e1.4 Black Lamb ; Grey Falcon \u003cbr\u003e1.5 Miniature Rock Dwellers \u003cbr\u003e1.6 When I Leave \u003cbr\u003e1.7 Iberia Eterea \u003cbr\u003e1.8 Moistened ; Dried \u003cbr\u003e1.9 Algae ; Fungi (Part 1) \u003cbr\u003e1.10 Algae ; Fungi (Part 2) \u003cbr\u003e1.11 Too Fragile to Walk on \u003cbr\u003e2.1 When I Leave (Finely Tuned Version) \u003cbr\u003e2.2 Algae ; Fungi (Candelaria Version) \u003cbr\u003e2.3 Minuarta \u003cbr\u003e2.4 Hoodoo \u003cbr\u003e2.5 Slowly Etching \u003cbr\u003e2.6 B9\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Biosphere","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":60261336088657,"sku":"Cp1-63054211","price":3.89,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1034\/5778\/3889\/files\/3477645.jpg?v=1788198774","url":"https:\/\/vinylkingdom.com\/products\/biosphere-cirque","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
