Rolf Trostel - Norwegian Synthesist - April 2, 2018

'Brilliant, overlooked Norwegian synthesist whose 1982 albums Two Faces and Der Prophet were right up there with the likes of Tangerine Dream, Klaus Schulze, Michael Hoenig and the best of the Berlin school. Two Faces, like his 1981 debut Inselmusik, was released on the German RP label and because of its undoubted excellence, Der Prophet was then picked up by noted Norwegian label Uniton (who also released Mark Shreeve's seminal Thoughts of War album). - YouTube '

Sven Grünberg (Estonia, 1981) - March 28, 2018

'Sven Grünberg (born November 24, 1956) is an Estonian ambient and progressive rock composer and musician most known for his meditative organ and electronic works involving the concepts of Tibetan Buddhism. He has collaborated with the film director Olav Neuland and written the soundtracks for the most of his films.

In the 1970s, Sven Grünberg was the leader of the progressive rock band Mess, which was founded by him in January 1974 together with Härmo Härm. Despite the years of the band's existence and many live performances, Mess didn't release a sing studio album because of the contradictions of the musical style with the Soviet ideology: only in 1996 Grünberg released a compilation from several survived Mess recordings and a full remastered album in 2004.

Sven Grünberg is also the Chairman of the Board of the Estonian Institute of Buddhism. - Discogs'
