Jordan Vauvert Après raison d'être et Stratvm Terror, Peter Andersson lance officiellement avec l'album Elemental Severance son troisième one-man band majeur : Atomine Elektrine. Quelques atmosphères musicales chers à l'artiste suédois se retrouvent (comme un goût pour le sacré dans "Severance I" ou "Fragments of the Past") mais ils sont très rares. En fait, c'est la trance ambiante qui est mis au premier plan, donnant un cadre moins oppressant voire carrément aérien et psychédélique ("Kalfatra", "Atom"). Favorite track: Kalfatra.

Alexey S. Semenov Очень хороший альбом, слушается на ура. Много отличных треков, как-то: Плавление I, Характер, Фрагменты прошлого, Освенцим, Кальфатра, Навсегда, Арабский взрыв и Злобное иконоуничтожение Совершенного. Как-то так)

about

Labelled as 'new-age-sacro-trance' at the time, 'Elemental Severance' actually shows a wide spectrum of electronic styles resulting in a hybrid, yet cohesive masterwork. From trancey rhythms and dreamy, sacral ambiences to occasional male/female choirs, melancholic melodies and well inserted samples. As if the imaginary past and present could touch each other, everything is involved by a majestic, unique surreal atmosphere, producing gorgeous sounds that leaves you truly mesmerized.

This expanded double disc redux version of 'Elemental Severance' original album, first released on Cold Meat Industry in 1995, has been carefully re-recorded and mixed in 2015 for a more enhanced and contemporary experience. The extensive extra material, taken from the same recording sessions as 'Elemental Severance', has in part been reduxed else transferred from original master recordings.

Track 1-24 re-recorded and mixed in 2015.
Remaining tracks (including bonus tracks) taken from original 2-channel MC recordings.
