Nicely ambient and atmospheric when it starts, becomes a little harder and more perhaps on the techno side for the second track. All instrumental so far, with the exception of some voice recordings/samples added in. This seems to be a one-man outfit, Varg consisting of one Jonas Rönnberg. There doesn't seem to be a Nordic Flora Series Pt 1 but there is a Pt. 2. Hmm. Good so far anyway. “Forever 21/Valium” has a spoken section running through it, with mostly dark ambient soundscapes behind it. It's a little weird. Don't like “Blue Line” much, with its damnable autotune on the vocal. The percussion sounds like someone moving around dishes. Tres weird. “Snake City” is very percussion-driven, almost a drum solo all through, then the bloody auto-****ing-tune is back with vocals on “Red Line II”, which I don't like one bit.

And the spoken vocal from “Forever 21/Valium” is back for “Euros & Euros & Euros”. I can't help it: I just don't like her voice, though the music is pretty sweet. Which kind of explains my problem with the album: the music is great, but when he puts on guest singers or even speakers I feel it detracts from it. Overall though, very enjoyable and I'd listen to more, but preferably just instrumental.

Check out more from this artist? Quite possibly
