Kobi "Live In Japan" CD
End of huM (2010) - EndofhuM-10

Kr 150  -  € 14.59

Featuring: Kai Mikalsen, Petter Flaten Eilertsen and Kelly Churko

Description:This album has previously only been issued as part of the Kobi "LiveBox" 2xDVD-R + 4xCD-R set issued by End of huM last year in a limited edition of only 22 copies. Now it's finally available on CD.

The album is made up of two live recordings featuring Kai Mikalsen and Petter Flaten Eilertsen and Kelly Churko. All the shows were part of the Crazy River / Kobi / Love Hz tour of Japan in March 2007.

Maybe it was the sushi or the sheer enjoyment of being in Japan; the concerts turned out to be more noisy than you would expect from Kobi.

These and other shows are also documented on the Crazy River / Love Hz / Kobi "Japan Tour 2007" DVD-R released by End of huM in 2009, so please check that out, too.

"Here you'll find three live recordings from Kobi's Japan tour in March, 2007, that he went on with Love Hz and Crazy River. Here we get Kai joined by others as we're used to and on the first two tracks he plays with Petter Flaten Eilertsen (now a member of the regular live constellation of Kobi, and also the guy behind Love Hz) on two very different tracks. The first could hardly be classified as anything else but noise, while the second is more, well... Kobi. Its noisy ambient music and I have a hard time trying to explain what I mean about it being Kobi-sounding, but that's what it is! The same could be said about the third and last track where Kai is joined by Kelly Churko. It's a bit more noisy again and maybe a little more space sounding than usual, but Kobi nevertheless. It's way more variated as a whole than Earplugged, and more a documenting release than an album, but I bet the pieces chosen for this disc are carefully chosen, 'cause it sounds good, and never does it get too much."

Kobi "Earplugged" CD
End of huM (2010) - EndofhuM-11

Kr 150  -  € 14.59

Description:Kai Kobi Mikalsen's solo debut as Kobi.

Usually Kai invites friends to join him for recordings or gigs. This time he has decided to do it all by himself; the music, production and cover design.

The idea was to make an album where the high and low frequences are explored. The album is one long and ever-changing song. It's noisy, but not in the sense of loud distortion. This album is more ambient but with high pitched noises and sharp edges that will annoy your cat, and low frequencies that might blow your speakers.

It's the death-ambient album the world has been waiting for.

"You'll find a good combination between low and high frequencies, and though its loads of variations on the release it's also a good example on how important a tracklisting is. It works very well as a whole and the thirteen pieces on the album floats through each other smooth as silk. Kai shows us here that he has the ability to very well control what he does and it gives me a feeling of being both a very composed, but at the same time improvised album. It's very organic and it's just enough material on there. I hear an album every once in a while where if I didn't have a clock near me I couldn't tell whether I had listen to music for 10 or 80 minutes, and this is such a release. It gives me just the right amount of music to want to maybe wanna put it on again as I could've listen to it for a little longer, but at the same time it's not at all too short. It's perfect, and I love finding records that gives me this feeling. It's also produced very well, and being packed with many high pitched tones all the way through, I think the final master has come out very well. It could easily have been an exhausting listening experience, but at least to me it was not. It may be because of my hardened hearing (to say it like it is, I'm not quite earplugged), but I think the balance is done very well here. I may have just repeated myself here with different ways of saying the same thing over and over, but I wanna get it through that I truly enjoyed the production value of the record as I hear loads of albums based on similar ideas that really doesn't work that well. It's in a way very minimalistic and I would rather call it a musique concrete album than a noise album. It's a total different listening experience than what I get from regular noise releases, and also very different from the rest of Kobi's discography so far."

Description:The third album from the Norwegian masters of ambient electroacoustics has been under construction for three years. As usual, Kai Mikalsen has invited friends to lay instumental improvisations over his mix of soundscapes of processed sounds from common objects, location recordings and analogue synth loops. The result is refreshingly open and acoustic. And you’ll probably experience music never heard before. To some eerie, but to others pure beauty.

"The third full-length release from Norway's Kobi...one of the best and most unique electronic noise artists that we have heard in the twenty-first century. The appropriately titled Acousticks presents what we would expect from Kobi...odd, peculiar, spooky, unpredictable noise compositions with plenty of strange overtones. Totally unconventional stuff obviously created without any consideration whatsoever for commercial appeal. The music is so precise and well-recorded that it can be deceptively inviting. All kinds of odd sounds and effects blur and transform into one another as these seven tracks float by. The music of Kobi is hypnotic, absorbing, and mentally challenging. These seven tracks have abstract names that somehow seem very appropriate and accidental. Turn this sucker up really, really loud...and you'll feel like you're sure to feel like you're tripping your brains out on something. Totally cool stuff. Highly recommended. (Rating: 5+++)."
