More Info "Taming Power: Twenty-one Pieces (EMR 2x12"-018) is a double-LP containing various tracks created during the last ten years. The concept is more or less similar to the previous release 'Twelve Pieces', only some of the tracks are longer. There are some pieces recorded in stop-motion, some small guitar quartets, pieces based on field recording or tape recorder treatments, some casio tunes and some layered pieces. It can be a good introduction to the music of Taming Power for new listeners, as well as it will be of interest to those who have the Three, Six or Twelve Pieces. All of the Twenty-one Pieces are previously unissued." [label info] www.sonoloco.com/rev/emr/emrframes.html "Finally for this edition of Rumbles, "Twenty One Pieces" is an expansive double album from Taming Power (AKA Askild Haugland), that collects together pieces recorded over the last ten years. Ranging from field recordings, casio tunes, guitar based pieces and more, there is a sense of style running through the album, a cohesiveness that bonds it all together, creating a rich vein of sound that is a pleasure to discover. With each piece given a date, rather than a title, it is hard to dissect them individually, suffice to say that people who enjoy, experimental, personal music will find much to enjoy amongst the stillness, icy beauty and variation in tone that this package offers. Amongst, the melodies, there are also hidden some field recording of the wind howling (I presume), the sound of which is startling and takes your breath away, see the 4th track on side A, for further details. Possible my favourite side however, is side B, filled as it is with low end rumbling drones, music to get lost in, as comforting as total darkness, or a blanket of snow on bare trees. An album that is full of small suprises, delightful textures and possibly a tinge of regret. Almost essential, for a minority at least. (earlymrecords@yahoo.no)" (Simon Lewis) "Manche Projekte begleiten einen über etliche Jahre hinweg wie ein Schatten, wie ein Compagnion durch dick und dünn. So möchten wir Taming Power bewerten, der Umbrella für die Experimente des Norwegers Askild Haugland, die immer im weitesten Sinne mit der E-Gitarre zu tun haben. In schöner Regelmäßigkeit erreichen uns selbstverlegte Vinyle in markantem Coverstil aus der zerklüfteten Bergwelt des hohen Nordens. Auch das aktuelle Doppel-Vinyl enttäuscht nicht – es enthält Tracks und Skizzen aus den letzten zehn Jahren. Die Spannbreite reicht von flirrend-plinkernden Sunset-Fadeouts über ruffe Drones bis hin zu überraschend druckvoll-strengen Scapes, die eher an lithurgische Orgelmusik denken lassen, denn an Neige im Kelch des Rock & Roll. Taming Power ist ein treuer Weggefährte auch dadurch, dass Veränderungen nach all den Jahren noch möglich sind. Bitte nicht nachlassen." [Zipo / Auf Abwegen]
