From his FAT Studio near the central Swedish town of Örebro, Sjunne Ferger crafted a small but radical legacy of genre-bending music. With an open-minded, "anything goes" attitude born from his jazz roots, compiled here are songs charting a transition from fusion beginnings via his debut 7" with group Exit through to a more blissful synthetic sound palette. Across the album's seven songs, Sjunn's heady musical optimism aspired to an aesthetic that moved freely between drum machines and synths to more organic instrumentation with rich arrangements never losing sight of a light ethereal feel. Hypnotic ambient pieces written for short film swirl amongst the electronic and electrified -- unreleased versions of "Destiny" and "Candlelight" hint at his sound to come, while the album culminates in the highlights "Night Rituale" and "Childrens Mind" -- intoxicating mixes of Sjunne's influences and inspiration, they unknowingly hint at Mkwaju Ensemble and other key Japanese contemporaries, and bear witness to the Swede's deep Eastern philosophical outlook.
