                <title>Ulver - Neverland ab 12,99 €</title>
                <link>https://de.spkr.media/Artists/Ulver/Ulver-Neverland.html</link>
                <pubDate>Fri, 10 Jul 2026 10:37:49 +0200</pubDate>
                <description>&lt;img src=&#039;https://de.spkr.media/out/pictures/generated/product/thumb/250_250_100/ulver-neverland-hom.038-main.jpg&#039; border=0 align=&#039;left&#039; hspace=5&gt;Nach drei ULVER Alben – &quot;The Assassination of Julius Caesar&quot; (2017), &quot;Flowers of Evil&quot; (2020) und &quot;Liminal Animals&quot; (2024) – die eher auf traditionellen Song- und Produktionsstrukturen basieren, markiert &quot;Neverland&quot; ein neues Kapitel in der Geschichte der gefeierten Band aus Oslo.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&quot;Mit &#039;Neverland&#039; haben wir uns einem eher &#039;punkigen&#039; Geist verschrieben – mehr Träume, weniger Disziplin – einfach freier&quot;, kommentiert die Band den kreativen Prozess hinter dem Album.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ausbrüche von Daybreak Synths und rauschende Klänge schaffen die atmosphärische Basis, bevor sich die Wölfe in die Dynamik von ruhigem Ambient und anarchischem Mystizismus vertiefen. Verträumte und mitreißende Texturen entwickeln sich zu trippig-perkussiven Energien, und im Verlauf des Albums öffnen sich üppige, pulsierende und mitunter auch exotischer Klangräume.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Abgesehen von einigen wiederkehrenden Stimmen aus der Ferne und Sprachschnippseln ist &quot;Neverland&quot; ein weitgehend instrumentales Album, das an die Stimmung und Struktur jener Zeit erinnert, als die IDM-Sounds der späten 90er Jahre auf die mäandernden Strukturen des Post-Rock trafen.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Der Geist der Sample-Kultur vor der Jahrtausendwende wirkt sicherlich auch auf &quot;Neverland&quot;, und manche hören vielleicht sogar Anklänge an gefeierte Werke wie &quot;Perdition City&quot; (2000), die &quot;Silence&quot;-EPs (2001) oder das jüngere &quot;ATGCLVLSSCAP&quot; (2016) heraus.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Dennoch klingt und fühlt sich &quot;Neverland&quot; irgendwie anders an, eine frische Brise in ULVERs kontinuierlicher Reise der ständigen Neuerfindung. Popmusik aus Zwischenwelten? Eine akustische Halluzination? Oder besser: eine Collage aus Träumen. Das bleibt Euch überlassen.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

01. Fear in a Handful of Dust&lt;br /&gt;

                <pubDate>Sun, 12 Jul 2026 22:50:07 +0200</pubDate>
                <description>&lt;img src=&#039;https://de.spkr.media/out/pictures/generated/product/thumb/250_250_100/ulver-liminal.animals-hom.036-main.jpg&#039; border=0 align=&#039;left&#039; hspace=5&gt;AT THE END OF THE ROUGHEST YEAR in their history, Ulver is proud to release their thirteenth studio album, titled Liminal Animals.&lt;br /&gt;
Spin back one year. Almost out of nowhere, Ulver starts to drop new songs, sometimes one, sometimes two at the time, like the spectre and its cruel shadow. They are on a roll, doing whatever they want to, and with no immediate or strict concept other than to keep the beast alive.&lt;br /&gt;
“Quite liberating in these twilight years”, they said.&lt;br /&gt;
But as the pieces are laid out, the songs start to shape a world of their own. Creatures abound. Ghosts and spiders, gods and sheep. Flocks, swarms, and sensations. (See The Senseless Seven, Austin Osman Spare’s drawn self-portrait on the album cover.) There’s something in the air. Liminal Animals is permeated by the smell of disaster and documents, with deep concern, a dark and troubled place in a dark and troubled time. Yes, in the vast Ulver catalogue, now dating back 30 years, it wouldn’t be hard to argue that Liminal Animals can be seen as a continuation of its acclaimed predecessors The Assassination of Julius Caesar (2017) and Flowers of Evil (2020).&lt;br /&gt;
This time around, though, their reflections on the overwhelming confusion and conflict seem to have become more pronounced and explicit, as if the songs were born out of the acute intensity of the current situation.&lt;br /&gt;
What in the world is happening now?&lt;br /&gt;
Musically, the album opener ‘Ghost Entry’, which broke the silence almost one year ago, could indeed be seen as taking a lead from their previous albums. But Liminal Animals soon reveals itself to also be a reflection on their deeper history. The guitar and bass driven second track, ‘A City in the Skies’, might hint at the rockier moments of their Blood Inside album (2005), whereas the soothing, melancholic ‘Forgive Us’, featuring world-renowned trumpet player Nils Petter Molvær, and the smouldering ‘Locusts’ could have been relics from the years between Shadows of the Sun (2007) and Wars of the Roses (2011). Similarly, the album’s two haunted nocturnes could have been secret&lt;br /&gt;
transmissions from Ulver’s earlier electronic ambient oeuvre or the stellar experiments on ATGCLVLSSCAP (2016).&lt;br /&gt;
And one could go on like this, and never really hit the mark. What about the B-side opener, the infectious and anthemic ‘Hollywood Babylon’, or the final single ‘The Red Light’, both showcasing Stian Westerhus’s inventive guitar work, and among Ulver’s catchiest moments?&lt;br /&gt;
Liminal Animals feels and sounds like a record made by a band being on a threshold. Set in a perfect storm.&lt;br /&gt;
There’s no way around this: as the making of Liminal Animals commenced in 2022, Tore Ylvisaker, sound wizard, keyboardist, and a core member since 1997, had gradually drifted away from the pack. Initially to pursue other endeavours, before removing himself completely from the workings of the band. Everyone still reading knows what happened in August, as the rest of the pack was about to end the recording sessions. The absence of brother Tore, to whom Liminal Animals is dedicated, will forever haunt these tracks.&lt;br /&gt;
There’s a final song in here, too. ‘Helian’, a dark and intoxicated, 11-minute track, recorded in September, and featuring Jørn H. Sværen’s reading of the dreamlike and on the verge of delirious long poem by Georg Trakl (1887–1914). It is the eulogy no one could have expected, revealing Ulver’s continued exploration of groove, repetition, and texture. It is, I think, the inevitable rite of passage, a journey to the borders of language and the disintegrating form. Into the unknown.&lt;br /&gt;
As the intense flow of words ceases and the crackling beats and sounds recede, ‘Helian’ feels like the fulfilment of a promise. Wolves Evolve.&lt;br /&gt;
Where to go from here?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tracklist:&lt;br /&gt;
1. Ghost Entry&lt;br /&gt;
2. A City in the Skies&lt;br /&gt;
3. Forgive Us (feat. Nils Petter Molvær)&lt;br /&gt;
4. Nocturne #1&lt;br /&gt;
5. Locusts&lt;br /&gt;
6. Hollywood Babylon&lt;br /&gt;
7. The Red Light&lt;br /&gt;
8. Nocturne #2&lt;br /&gt;
9. Helian (Trakl)</description>

                <description>&lt;img src=&#039;https://de.spkr.media/out/pictures/generated/product/thumb/250_250_100/ulver-wolfe.im.wandel-index.036-main.jpg&#039; border=0 align=&#039;left&#039; hspace=5&gt;Ein Buch über Ulver – unsere Geschichte – war lange Zeit im Gespräch, erstmals&lt;br /&gt;
zu unserem 15. Jubiläum, dann zum 20., doch jetzt ist es nach über einem&lt;br /&gt;
Vierteljahrhundert endlich so weit. Wir haben einen Großteil unserer Leben mit&lt;br /&gt;
der Bändigung dieses Raubtiers verbracht, und die Zukunft ist nicht mehr das,&lt;br /&gt;
was sie einst zu sein versprach.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Wölfe im Wandel – Die Geschichte von Ulver beginnt mit Erinnerungen an ihren&lt;br /&gt;
ersten Proberaum in der Osloer Innenstadt, damals, 1993, inmitten einer neuen,&lt;br /&gt;
einheimischen Szene - klein, fruchtbar und wild entschlossen, Grenzen zu&lt;br /&gt;
verschieben. Das Buch folgt Ulver durch die dunklen Wälder ihrer Kindheit und in&lt;br /&gt;
die toten Stadtzentren, wo sie künftig zwischen vielen Gestalten wechseln sollten:&lt;br /&gt;
Abtrünnige und Phantome, Diebe und Trauernde, Chamäleons und Hunde.&lt;br /&gt;
„Wir gehen in die Ruinen, um zu verstehen“, sagt die Band, und Wölfe im Wandel&lt;br /&gt;
ist in der Tat eine labyrinthische Geschichte musikalischer Evolution im großen&lt;br /&gt;
Stil. Einige mögen verwirrt sein. Andere werden der Band durch ihr Pantheon von&lt;br /&gt;
Freunden und Partnern, Obsessionen und Anekdoten folgen können. Unterdessen&lt;br /&gt;
werden sie einen Blick auf die Formen und Un-Formen werfen, welche die&lt;br /&gt;
alternativen Kulturen der letzten drei Jahrzehnte angenommen haben, gerettet vor&lt;br /&gt;
der Ungerechtigkeit des Vergessens.</description>

Perdition City will come on 2 x 180-gram vinyl, a thick (350gsm) gatefold sleeve. Each LP housed in white poly-lined disco bags and packaged outside the sleeve to ensure pristine condition upon arrival. All secured within a protective plastic sleeve.&lt;br /&gt;

                <description>&lt;img src=&#039;https://de.spkr.media/out/pictures/generated/product/thumb/250_250_100/ulver-grieghallen.20180528.live-hom.039-main.png&#039; border=0 align=&#039;left&#039; hspace=5&gt;House of Mythology proudly presents the official release of Ulver’s monumental Grieghallen concert from the 2018 Bergen International Festival. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Grieghallen 20180528 documents the pinnacle of Ulver’s 2017–2018 touring cycle, following the release of their landmark album The Assassination of Julius Caesar. A massive explosion of sound and light went off in Bergen that night, leaving the baffled audience floating somewhere between pleasure and fear.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Professionally multitracked by the Bright AS stage tech team, Kristoffer Rygg and Anders Møller were asked to mix the tracks for the 2020 “streaming edition” of the same festival. After having circulated as a YouTube bootleg, it is now being made official partly due to popular demand, and partly because we think of it as a magnificent companion piece to the studio version of Caesar – showing Ulver at the height of their live game.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tracklist:&lt;br /&gt;
01. Nemoralia&lt;br /&gt;
02. Southern Gothic&lt;br /&gt;
03. 1969&lt;br /&gt;
04. So Falls the World&lt;br /&gt;
05. Rolling Stone&lt;br /&gt;
06. Echo Chamber (Room of Tears)&lt;br /&gt;
07. Transverberation&lt;br /&gt;
08. Angelus Novus&lt;br /&gt;
09 .Bring Out Your Dead&lt;br /&gt;
10. Coming Home</description>

&lt;br /&gt;
Hailed by critics and clerics upon its release, and described by the band as a maelstrom full of wreckage, it is undoubtedly their most byzantine and excessive work to date.

                <description>&lt;img src=&#039;https://de.spkr.media/out/pictures/generated/product/thumb/250_250_100/ulver-shadows.of.the.sun-hom.014-main.jpg&#039; border=0 align=&#039;left&#039; hspace=5&gt;Eleven years and eleven revolutions around the sun. There have been deaths and pregnancies, victories and chance encounters. Too many sombre news bulletins and retrenchment notices. Through it all, earth’s orbit, the night sky and music. In whichever ways, we recount this traversal of elapsing time and we have come far. So too has Ulver.&lt;br /&gt;
Since the 2007 release of Shadows of the Sun, the Oslobased collective has busied themselves broadening the grounds of their multi-dimensional, multiconfessional church. Once limited to the studio, the indefatigable Norwegians these days command the stage, crossing continents and oceans delivering a surreal and visually transfixing live act.&lt;br /&gt;
Once described by Kristoffer Rygg, Ulver’s founder, as their “most personal record to date,” first-time Shadows listeners will find neither the dance-floor subversives of Julius Caesar nor the dense hallucinatory grooves of ATGCLVLSSCAP, recent works that have swelled the ranks and given rise to a handsome new generation of wolf pups.&lt;br /&gt;
More than a decade on, Ulver’s seventh studio album arguably remains their most personal, a decidedly interior account of grand cosmic indifference. It explores the familiars of life and death, love and loss – but from the furthermost purview. All the electricity of life, playing out as perfect circles on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam. We are captive to its long shadows.&lt;br /&gt;
Shadows of the Sun is a meditation on all the crosses we collectively carry and the folly of carrying them. It is a pensive, quiet work singularly committed to an aesthetic of beauty. We find in it the melancholic grace that would later blossom to the fore in 2013’s Messe I.X–VI.X. Though it is, by no means, an embryonic affair. Revisiting these sounds in 2018, one is struck in equal measure by their elegance and grandeur, restraint and simplicity.&lt;br /&gt;
One encounters consolatory string arrangements on a spectral sea of electronics. The soft dance of fingers along the mouth of a piano. A tremendous depth of feeling with each waving crescendo or soft reverberation. Divine outbreaks of a trumpet’s blare. Only occasionally are we confronted with glimpses of a discordant underbelly, the prospect of decay and menace of less hospitable soundscapes. Where there are forays into rhythm, subtle percussion crashes and amplifies the emotional undercurrent.&lt;br /&gt;
At the helm are Rygg, Jørn H. Sværen and Tore Ylwizaker, who have been Ulver’s creative core from the heady metamorphoses of the late 90s through to the present. The trusty triumvirate are joined by a string quartet and guest musicians, the likes of Austrian electronic music legend Christian Fennesz, renowned theremin sage Pamelia Kurstin, Norwegian jazz musician Mathias Eick, among others whose contributions enrich the album’s distinctive sheen.&lt;br /&gt;
Among these warm, sonic arrangements – mostly linear constructs that unite variants of looping electronics with crisp organic instrumentation – there are glimmers of baroque pop in Rygg’s vocal work, often delivered in the lower register. Each word uttered a negotiation: between loss, questions and the oftenuneasy terms of their acceptance. A cover of Black Sabbath’s downtrodden classic, “Solitude”, is right at home in its folds.&lt;br /&gt;
Didrik Søderlind, a Norwegian journalist and author, remarked back in 2007 that these songs of loss and disillusion amounted to Ulver giving their fears “a shapely form,” an approach “capable, perhaps, of bringing a little comfort to some.” It is evident that this album came together under the weight of very personal trials. Søderlind rightly identifies qualities of a sombre empathy at work in this music, imbuing certain moments with deep emotional resonance.&lt;br /&gt;
Shadows of the Sun possesses a power to prompt reflection like few things do, particularly where existential matters are concerned. We, too, may come to take the furthermost purview. The Ankole, an East-African bull whose mesmerizing lyreshaped horns grace the album’s stunning cover art, are a dying breed expected to disappear within decades. Our own sun fares somewhat better in this equation. It will be several billion years before it swells nearly a hundred times its current diameter in a spectacular last hurrah.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ample time to wonder: “What happened to us here?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

                <description>&lt;img src=&#039;https://de.spkr.media/out/pictures/generated/product/thumb/250_250_100/ulver-scary.muzak-hom.028-main.jpg&#039; border=0 align=&#039;left&#039; hspace=5&gt;Knock, knock. The most terrifying of all terrifying nights is here, and they are back, ready to make your skin crawl.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But first, rewind exactly one year. Enter the newly restored 1920s cinema at Frogner in Oslo. Frescoed stars, cobweb, myrrh, and pumpkins. On the big screen: John Carpenter’s cult classic Halloween (1978). In the pit: Ulver, performing a reimagined version of the iconic score. A surprising and timely one-off right before the capital city shut down for real.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After the lights were turned off that evening, the All Hallows’ Eve quartet – Ole Alexander Halstensgård, Kristoffer Rygg, Tore Ylwizaker and Stian Westerhus – went full isolation in their studio below the haunted hill, fantasizing about bygone nights of slasher, exploitation, and giallo. Three or four months went by, the band returned to the living, and sent their radiophonic workshop experiments off to the Dogs of Doom, France, where friend and fellow film freak, Carpenter Brut did a razor-sharp mix before taking it to Thibault Chaumont (Deviant Lab) for the master.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Scary Muzak, on one hand a homage to Carpenter’s themes – five out of twelve tracks are covers whereas the rest comes from the outer realms – and on the other zooming out on the aesthetics of the late ’70s and early ’80s popular culture. It is perhaps the Norwegians’ most hauntological moment, whirling up themes and moods, horrors and mysteries hidden in the foggy back alleys of your youth. Imagine the gloomy siblings of Les Humphries, Gert Wilden, and their respective orchestras, armed to their teeth with synths, pads, FX. Sometimes classy and chilling, other times amusingly smooth and sleazy, and at times outright beautiful in its suspense-filled vigour, Scary Muzak is an inspired, goblinesque addition to the ever-expanding Ulver catalogue. Interior films, remember?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It’s Halloween, and everyone’s entitled to one good scare.</description>

Two songs we kind of left on the drawing board but resumed work on this summer. Additionally, a cover of a childhood favourite – one we actually started some twelve–thirteen years ago – from the time we first started thinking about making “pop” music. This EP was finalized in our new studio in the old town of Oslo in September, and sent off to Youth&#039;s (Martin Glover and Michael Rendall) in London in October, for imperial sound quality. Mastered this week by The Bricoleur. Cover shows Francis Bacon&#039;s Study After Velásquez&#039;s Portrait of Pope Innocent X (1953), used with kind permission of Des Moines Art Center. Design by Paschalis Zervas, +wolframgrafik.&lt;br /&gt;

                <pubDate>Mon, 13 Jul 2026 15:40:07 +0200</pubDate>
                <description>&lt;img src=&#039;https://de.spkr.media/out/pictures/generated/product/thumb/250_250_100/ulver-the.assassination.of.julius.caesar-hom.010-main.jpg&#039; border=0 align=&#039;left&#039; hspace=5&gt;31 August 1997 was one of the hottest nights in Paris that year. Just after midnight a black Mercedes Benz rushes through the dark streets with a horde of ravenous paparazzi on tow. In the Pont de l&#039;Alma tunnel the car swerves into a roof-supporting pillar and in the echo of the metallic roar dies Diana, the Princess of Wales. The world has lost one of its greatest icons and the morbidity of popular culture hits a new high. The story is strangely resonant with the myth of the Greek goddess Artemis (Roman: Diana) and the hunter Actaeon, who, after having seen the goddess bathing naked, is turned into a stag and torn to pieces by his own hunting hounds. This picture opens Ulver&#039;s 13th album, The Assassination of Julius Caesar.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Such historical quantum leaps often occur in Ulver&#039;s musical universe, which has never been bound by any physical law. And the band&#039;s unruly play with myth, history and popular culture has never been more manifest than now. From the assassination attempt against Pope John Paul II on one day in May 1981, to the queer, black house with the address 6114 California Street, San Francisco, better known as the headquarters of Anton LaVey&#039;s Church of Satan - Ulver moves seamlessly through time and space, and manages, in their own strange ways, to create a coherent tableau with a deeply personal backdrop. &quot;I want to tell you something / about the grace of faded things,&quot; as it goes in the song &quot;Southern Gothic&quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Those familiar with this stubborn pack of wolves from Oslo will not be surprised that they also this time round are shifting shape. Never afraid of challenging or redefining current musical conventions, Ulver has now enacted what they are calling &quot;their pop album&quot;. You don&#039;t have to worry about vexing radio humdrum or pastel ear candy though - Talk Talk and Music Machine are pop music as good as any in the universe of Ulver. A universe where &quot;pop&quot; is more a mark of distinction, denoting immediacy and possible body movement. Factory Records and Welcome to the Pleasuredome. The Assassination of Julius Caesar is an album the band has been longing to do for many years, to delve into the music of their childhood, along with the now fading memories and drifting clouds of romance.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After the (to them) surprising success of last year&#039;s hybrid ATGCLVLSSCAP, released on the recently established House of Mythology, the way was eventually cleared for a full status studio album from Ulver. Not since Shadows of the Sun, now ten years of age, has the band worked under such clearly defined criteria, staying true to an aesthetics. Such music is never easily conceived, but Ulver&#039;s unyielding ethos of following their instincts has again showed them the way. Fear of repetition and standstill is just as instinctive in the mind of this group as hunger is for their counterparts in nature. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The core crew behind this album is Kristoffer Rygg, Jørn H. Sværen and Tore Ylwizaker, in company with Ole Alexander Halstensgård, who has also been an important contributor to earlier albums. As usual, there are prominent guests, the renowned experimental guitarist Stian Westerhus puts his personal signature on several tracks, the same goes for associated members Anders Møller and Daniel O&#039;Sullivan. Legendary Hawkwind shaman Nik Turner adds his sax to &quot;Rolling Stone&quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Assassination of Julius Caesar is mixed by Martin &quot;Youth&quot; Glover, known from bands such as Killing Joke and The Fireman (with Paul McCartney), plus producer of The Verve&#039;s &quot;Bitter Sweet Symphony&quot; and many other major players. The result is epic and wide-scoped as a historical drama, without ever mollycoddling the listener. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&quot;What have I done to leave you here,&quot; asks vocalist and primus motor Kristoffer Rygg on the last track, &quot;Coming Home&quot;. Since Ulver was formed a quarter of a century ago, their musical odyssey has taken them round the world in many shapes. This year will see them perform in select places with a new spectacular live production. And even if Ulver might have brought home the game with their most ambitious and majestic work thus far, rest assured that the wolves will keep on following you through the night.&lt;br /&gt;

                <pubDate>Tue, 07 Jul 2026 10:46:32 +0200</pubDate>
                <description>&lt;img src=&#039;https://de.spkr.media/out/pictures/generated/product/thumb/250_250_100/ulver-drone.activity-hom.018-main.jpg&#039; border=0 align=&#039;left&#039; hspace=5&gt;It all happened in a haze. I am not sure everyone was prepared to obey the summons and forsake the shore in order to be pulled under by the loudness of sound. Yet the ethos on that crisp October night was clear in its wording: Drone Activity.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Upon entering the old fish-warehouse, now converted into an activity hall, on the new Oslo waterfront, the security guards barely cared to check our tickets. Even mammoths would have been able to hide in this enormous dark space, illuminated by a few logos and stalls of sugary drinks, about to disappear in a sea of smoke.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Disappearance comes in many shapes in the age of extinction. Following the Danish noise act Damien Dubrovnik, Ulver started out in a subtle manner, carefully examining the territory, vast and waste. Screeching sounds echoed distant roars from the approaching edge as snowflakes pierced the air with ferocious speed. Where to go from there?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A retreat into the sunken paradise. Half-buried misty temples, giant creatures and vaguely prehistoric figures emerged as depth and time intertwined, from the ancient Atlantis to the northernmost seas.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We stayed there for 90 minutes, of which 70 have been meticulously mixed and mastered for this release. All of them are new sounds. Darker and more dire, yet containing the vibe of their previous semi-improvisatory sessions, documented and catalogued on the “Zodiac” album, ATGCLVLSSCAP (2016).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If that Zodiac album was a free-form Ulver interpreting the signs in the stars, Drone Activity stares into the abyss, documenting those moments after the last rays of sun speckle the surface and careless subterranean streams start determining the course.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Something murky and liminal emerged, in sound and space,” the band states in their liner notes. I can’t think of a more apt description of what, and to where, Ulver brought us that night. There is no shoreline a thousand feet down.&lt;br /&gt;

                <pubDate>Tue, 07 Jul 2026 10:40:06 +0200</pubDate>
                <description>&lt;img src=&#039;https://de.spkr.media/out/pictures/generated/product/thumb/250_250_100/ulver-atgclvlsscap-hom.002-main.jpg&#039; border=0 align=&#039;left&#039; hspace=5&gt;ATGCLVLSSCAP ist im wahrsten Sinn des Wortes fortschrittlich&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
House of Mythology präsentieren mit Stolz Ulvers neue Doppel-LP im Klappcover (auch als CD erhältlich) mit über 80 Minuten Material. Dieses Album besteht aus im Studio nachbearbeiteten Mehrspur-Liveaufnahmen überwiegend improvisatorischer Art zwischen Rock und elektronischen Klangflächen, wobei 2/3 bislang unveröffentlicht blieb.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Die Grundlage für ATGCLVLSSCAP stellen Mitschnitte von zwölf verschiedenen Konzerten der Band im Februar 2014 dar, die im Zeichen der Improvisation standen. Wie Kristoffer Rygg, die Triebfeder der Band seit ihrer Gründung, trocken bemerkt, sollte jene Tournee &quot;ein Experiment sein, was einer so zielgerichteten Band wie uns ungewöhnlich viel Freiheit bescherte und durchaus ein wenig Angst bereitete.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Nach der Tour oblag es seinem Mitmusiker Daniel O&#039;Sullivan, sich der Aufnahmespuren in London anzunehmen. Anders Møller, Kristoffer Rygg und Tore Ylwizaker beteiligten sich etwas später von ihrer Warte in Oslo aus. Heraus kam mit ATGCLVLSSCAP ein akustischer Breitwandfilm mit atmosphärischem Schmelz und letztendlich ein Werk, das sich über konventionelle Konzertmitschnitte hinwegsetzt. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Wie immer in Ulvers Welt kehrt es mannigfaltige Einflüsse hervor, obwohl Rygg bemerkt: &quot;Wir verweisen eindeutig auch auf Sounds der Vergangenheit.&quot; Viele davon entstammen den Domänen Progressive, Electro und Krautrock, womit die Band ihre seit je flammende Liebe für die Musik der 1970er hochhält. Wenngleich sie ein älteres Juwel von Perdition City von 2000 ausgräbt wie in &#039;Nowhere (Sweet Sixteen)&#039;, so geschieht dies in einem breiteren, emotional aufgeladenen Rahmen. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Indem sich die Gruppe zu einem neuen kreativen Ansatz aufraffte, legte sie ein einzigartiges Zeugnis der schöpferischen Kraft einer Institution ab, die sich über Genres und Vereinbarungen hinwegsetzt. ATGCLVLSSCAP ist im wahrsten Sinn des Wortes fortschrittlich.&lt;br /&gt;
