Erik Wøllo is an architect of poignant, ethereal and elegant electronics, a poet of ambient atmospheres. This 15th anniversary remaster of his classic Gateway includes a bonus disc with 8 unreleased tracks mostly from the 2010 era. Known for highly lyrical and vivid sonic spaces, Wøllo's 14th album bridges grand harmonic realms and gentle, serene environments.
Echoes Radio' John Diliberto wrote, 'Celestial evocations inspired by the night skies in the land of the midnight sun... On his latest, Gateway, there's no denying the way he sends you piloting down canyons, soaring between mountains and launching on trajectories somewhere toward the heavens... One of the most distinctive voices in contemporary instrumental music.'
Recorded over two years in the late aughts, Gateway is a luscious work, kindling feelings of nature inspired by Wøllo's Norwegian homeland. It's a fine-tuned collection of carefully crafted compositions. The melodic guitar work and expansive electronic passages combine intense and serene moments with masterful performances.
To create this remastered edition, Wøllo went back to the original stereo digital mixes, running them through analog equipment and the latest high resolution plug-ins. Showcasing amazing depth and clarity, the remaster has an enhanced sound: a more detailed, transparent and wider audio spectrum with greater sonic cohesion.
Star's End Radio wrote, 'Bypassing verbal thought, connecting directly with the mind, his fluid lead melodies speak, as if in a voice, directly to the listener. Wøllo uses guitar as the primary instrument in which to convey his message... From stark simplicity to prog-influenced anthems Wøllo's spirit comes out in the precision and detail of his work - as it touches the best part of us.'
