I once met a guy (Polish) who knew about 100 Norwegian death metal groups by heart. He scared me.

...the human race will disappear. Other races will appear and disappear in turn. The sky will become icy and void, pierced by the feeble light of half-dead stars. Which will also disappear. Everything will disappear. And what human beings do is just as free of sense as the free motion of elementary particles. Good, evil, morality, feelings? Pure 'Victorian fictions'.

This song is not by a Norwegian artist (nor is it mainstream or popular) but it's about Norwegian Lillies, and I quite adore it.

lol Krae. I have noticed this sort of thing too. Everyone looking to fit into something even if it is classed as 'different'.
Woe betide the above person you describe who secretly likes lady gaga, that is a definite skeleton in their closet! :-)
I'm forever addicted to this song!

I own Flunk's album Personal Stereo. It's probably my favourite of theirs. The other two albums are okay, although I had to delete them to make way for more and better music.
Biosphere sounds cool, can you recommend an album to check out?
Ulver FTW. I like their latest album, especially the first song:
[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iz2kakAqtK4]YouTube - Ulver - Eos (The Fountain)[/ame]
(I really like the use of The Fountain in this video)
It's incredibly dark and depressing, but also immensely beautiful.
I also like this track:

However, my favourite thing to come out of Norway are Röyksopp. I think their latest album is the worst, although I like everything they've done. Here's my selection of my absolute favourite tracks by them:

I think what I love most about Röyksopp is that much of their music makes me think of dusty old attics in Gothic places in mid-Winter darkness.
Oops, I was thinking Scandinavian, my mistake. Yeah, The Knife is rather experimental, I only like a couple songs from them. But that particular song I like a lotBoards of Canada I have to be in the right mood to listen to, except Dayvan Cowboy, which is awesome all the time. And I need to listen to more Royksopp, I've been meaning to.
Yes, it is a fuckin' track and a half.
To be honest, I'm generally in the mood for BoC a lot of the time, haha. There are few occasions where I'm not.
Cool, cheers. I will get Substrata and then if I like it I'll get more.Substrata, sometimes appears as "Substrata 2". It's the 2CD 2001 reissue of the original 1997 album. Also Insomnia is a great album, people tend to question my sanity after they hear it
I didn't realise they did a soundtrack for Man With A Movie Camera. The Cinematic Orchestra's album Man With A Movie Camera is immense. I haven't seen the film though. Apparently there is a really expensive limited edition film with the CO soundtrack.
In a good or bad way?The understanding - no comment.
Agreed, although after the track "Röyksopp Forever", it gets better.Latest album.. ehh, don't know. I should listen to it again but nothing caught my ear.

FWIW, Röyksopp and Biosphere are both from Tromsø.

I know very little about Norwegian music. Anyway, a Norwegian friend of mine loves this group "Madrugada" (it's the Spanish word for "dawn")

Thanks Mimosa. Here's a song by someone I wasn't aware was actually Norwegian. Trumpet solo rocks.
