Erik Wøllo is a unique Norwegian musician that has been active since 1980, covering a wide range of styles but mostly known for his very personal take on electronic ambient music. On "Silver Beach", gentle rhythms hold center for lush beautiful melodies to unfold, manifesting a restrained elegance in the way the chords hover around this percolating heartbeat. The result is synthetic walkabout music, an album of simple yet vibrant sophistication, perfect for wandering around or sitting contemplating imaginary beautiful vistas with eyes closed.

These 17 stunning tracks create a sense of ceaseless motion without arrival, the pleasure of traveling without destination: walking on an outer limits beach. An early electronic music masterpiece, it was made using the latest MIDI technology at that time. Everything was composed and recorded on the now vintage Roland MSQ700, and all the diverse synths and rack modules were mixed directly down to 2 track analogue tape (no multitrack tape was used).

The original "Silver Beach" album, containing 8 tracks, was released on Cicada Records in 1986. This expanded edition contains the bonus tracks 'Little Big Tune' and 'Mountain Train' which appeared on Cicada Records' 1988 CD edition, plus the 5 additional tracks from the same era which featured on Margen Records' 2005 CD reissue.

These tunes just refuse to be forgotten, their glittering beauty having both an air of nostalgia, but also of validity, as they continue to haunt new ears. There's no doubt that this is a classic of European '80s electronic music composition, a polished artwork with the best aesthetic and emotional signifiers of its era.
