(OR)

Jorgen Munkeby作為Shining的帶領者，16歲時便已能玩奏出多種樂器。1999年當他以19歲的年紀組成Shining，就像Lars Horntveth領著Jaga Jazzist般，已成為挪威新一代的Electro-Acoustic代表。當goretex weather report的咆哮從"In the Kingdom of Kitsch You Will Be a Monster"唱片中傳來，似乎已無法呆坐在原地接受著Shining所帶來的震撼！flute與trumpet雙伴奏的開場，還有那綿延不絕的Double Bass，行進至1分鐘後全線爆發，fuzz-guitar、horn以及Aslak Hartberg錯亂的鼓擊聲浪，構築成goretex weather report始無前有的新Art-Rock氣圍。整首歌曲的編排猶如Radiohead的"Paranoid Android"。而REDRUM已明白昭示將是一首厚實鼓擊與John Coltrane式trumpet的Free Improv演練。甜美而優雅的romani也有一絲感性。perdurbo則有Stonen/Storlokken的打擊與Terje Rypdal火辣辣的吉他聲浪。aleister explains everything倒是一次純熟的Improv搭配。而31=300=20(it is by will alone i set my mind in motion則一反唱片開頭以來的排山倒海，反而投入一次低迷的Electronics運行。where death comes to cry跟隨著31=300=20(it is by will alone i set my mind in motion繼續著低調而感性的聲線。the smoking dog返回一次electro-drumpad的運用以及Bobby McFerrin的Kid Music神采。magazine RWRK則令人想起Sunn O)))，當中亦有Kari Knardahl舒緩的法國號吹奏。尾曲you can try the best you can所帶來的Soundscape與手風琴伴奏，則令"In the Kingdom of Kitsch You Will Be a Monster"更添一次ECM的抒情民族音樂調性。
