Traces

<b>Erik Wøllo's breakthrough album <i>Traces</i> is reborn in this special remastered edition.</b> Along with two previously unreleased tracks from the era, the album now sounds better than ever, with a depth and clarity that far surpass the original release. <BR><BR> Although he had recorded two earlier solo albums, it was on 1985's <i>Traces</i> that Erik Wøllo found his signature sound. <BR><BR> "Traces is a very special album to me," explains Wollo. "I felt I really got into something new and I have explored these ideas on several albums since." <BR><BR> Featuring expansive synth textures, hypnotic sequencer patterns, electric guitars and guitar-synthesizers, <i>Traces</i> was Norway s first electronic music release. "In 1984-85, MIDI technology was new and groundbreaking," Erik recalls, "and I was one of the first to explore all the new possibilities. Musically this technology opened up a new world, and I have continued to further develop and refine these musical structures over the years." <BR><BR>
