Omtale pÄ Encyclopedia of Electronic Music av Artemi Pugachov:
Alwanzatar (Norway)
Astral Virak (2014)
Archaic Mysteries of Ecstasy (2015)
Alwanzatar is a solo project of a guy who calls himself Krizla and plays flute in progressive rock band TusmĂžrke. As a solo artist, he uses theremin, stylophone and other analogue electronics, flute, vocalizations and lots of processing. I am trying to find a point of reference but he is pretty unique. The music is certainly abstract, at times dark and noisy. Imagine a sinister version of Gong's more atmospheric and electronic moments, leave Tim Blake's electronic twitterings in, but replace Gilli Smyth's 'space whisper' with male "prayers" you might hear in Ancient Egypt inside a pyramid and you maybe get close. Yes, it's that weird. Only for the adventurous, then.

Archaic Mysteries of Ecstasy omtalt hos Ptolemaic Terrascope: http://www.terrascope.co.uk/Reviews/Rumbles_July_15.htm
"Deeply psychedelic and awash with echo, âThe Archaic Mysteries of Ecstacyâ is a rather excellent release from Alwanzatar, the mixture of electronic rhythms, flutes, chants synths and even a theremin giving the seven tracks a chaotic, swirling charm that is very likeable. Recorded at various locations in Oslo and mixed in the bedroom the tape has the feel of one of those festival releases that were around in the eighties especially on the 12 minute opener âEis Dionysonâ which sounds like an obscure Kraut band Jamming with The Ozrics whilst Timothy Leary sits at the mixing console. This is a good thing in my book and the album continues in the same vein with âJubelâ becoming even more drone-flecked, whilst âBatrakhoiâ reminds me of a lo-fi Gong in very stoned mode. Best of all is the 13 minutes of âEchoes Into Echoâ, time to turn the lights down and sit in a sea of incense whilst the music revolves around you. All good stuff, psychedelia in its rawest state, played with love and searching for the light. As well as the music, the package comes with a 36 page booklet that contains an essay on âEcstasy, mystic initiation and journeys through the underworldâ by K.Momrak (Phd) who, I guess, is the same Krizla who is responsible for the sounds. Academic, yet easy to read, the book is a fine companion to the music, go get one. (https://alwanzatar.bandcamp.com/album/a ... of-ecstasy)"
