Eivind Aarset (PostRock, Fusion or Eclectic)

I somehow remember very vividly Eivind Aarset having a page on PA, but now that I check it shows there's nothing like that... Why did I remember even the layput of his page in specific details? Don't know... So anyway, I thought of suggesting him for addition. It's a no-brainer.

Eivind Aarset's music is a sort of experimental rock with post-rock, jazz, sampling and some metal throwin in. This might be a good recommendation for the Eclectic Team. The most similar music to his is, from what I've heard, Tortoise's "T.N.T.", which should direct the suggestion for the Post-Rock team. Also, from what I know he is regarded as Nu Fusion in the jazz circles, therefore I think the JazzRock team might also be interested.

Here's the MySpace link, with some samples and a good bio: http:// www.myspace.com/eivindaarset

Damn I missed it...will check them.

^ I'm very curios what is in his music which makes him a jazz (nu-jazz, fusion, etc) musician, because I can't relate his music to anything in those genres. However it's true that I'm no expert in jazz; I've never listened to any Rypdal for example. The similarity to Tortoise is the best I could find, but I think it holds very well. But I don't agree Tortoise is post-rock; they were part of the "Experimental" side of the "Experimental/Post-Rock" subgenre, which has been relegated somewhere in mid-air since the subgenre was renamed as "Post-Rock/Math-Rock". But anyways, thanks for supporting the petition for addition!

I would like to send music samples to the team, who am I to send them? I could also write a PA original biography if the addition is cleared.
