Melodic electronic music with strong rhythmic elements. But there are also some ambient tracks. A technologic blend of pulsating rhythms, cruising sequencers, and space synths all mixed together. Erik Wøllos most pop-oriented album.
Recorded and mixed digitally during 1994 - 95, at Wintergarden Studio, Fredrikstad, Norway.
Review extracts:
Bill Binkelman / Wind and Wire: "One of the masters of European electronic music has once again graced us with a fine release. Erik Wøllo's Transit is a well-executed hodge-podge/grab bag of electronic stylings that range from the dramatic to the discreet, from the frenetic to the (relatively) serene. I can't imagine many fans of keyboard-based music being disappointed with this."
Musical Starstreams: "This latest effort is a dazzling piece of work ranging from spacious atmospheric to pedal-to-the-metal upbeat
electronics that bring to mind Jean Michel Jarre at his most ambitious self. Although intense at times, you'll also find enchanting and floating moods conveyed throughout Transit [...] The album alternates between envelope-stretching kinetics to masterful, moving instrumental creations. Transit is a fine effort from one of Norway's best."
