"Cirque," the landmark 2000 release that marked ambient mastermind BIOSPHERE (aka Geir Jenssen, based in Tromsø in Arctic Norway) first outing on the venerable electronics institution TOUCH, and his fourth album overall, is an evergreen ambient masterpiece that has never lost its luster — now reissued on vinyl, remastered with six bonus tracks and new artwork!! Released, of course, on his own BIOPHON. First repress in three years! A classic. Back in stock after a long absence.

A sonic work inspired by "Into the Wild," the nonfiction book by journalist/author/mountaineer Jon Krakauer — the story of Chris McCandless, the young American who walked alone into the Alaskan wilderness and lost his life — which was adapted into an Academy Award-nominated film directed by Sean Penn. A masterpiece of hushed, imaginary electronics, field recordings, minimalism, and dubby ambient that showcases BIOSPHERE's essential craft and offers a profound sense of spiritual calm. 2LP, 17 tracks.
