Some words written about the band …15 tracks inspired by state of the art electronica in which drum’n’bass and trance blend with the melancholy mood reminescent of 1980s new wave, a musical style much loved by the band. They are big fans of songs with rich and imaginative melodies that create a melting pot of analogue and digital sound sources so reminiscent of the excellent Underworld. Land demand to be heard because they are able to draw the listener so completely into their world so that you won’t want to leave. Il Mucchio Selvaggio – G. Polverari. …in it there’s a wealth of references to the spirit of post-punk and the new multifaceted aspects of experimental technology. And not forgetting a voice that gives the songs of Land a magical quality and manages to evoke a world somewhere between Joy Division and more contemporary urban beatscape. Music Club-F. Battisti (Artist Website: http://web.mac.com/land_on_web) 4) Land is a Oslo-based impro/ambient duo consisting of Juan Diaz on piano and Tore Stavlund (Idiom) on guitar.
