	I´m a music journalist from Germany, and I play a lot of "rune grammofon" records on air, and I have, over the recent years, been particularly impressed, by the trumpet player and singer Arve Henriksen. On "Chiaroscuro", I don´t miss the hard edges of "Supersilent - Arve Henriksen has created a thrilling and adventurous record, full of empty spaces, breath, rich melodic textures and surprises. This is deeply moving music, a wonderful mixture of nordic ambient music, free improviosation and jazz elements. Surely one of my favourite records of 2004, along with Wilco, the new Fripp-Eno-collaboration, and the forthcoming cd "Unspeakable" of guitarist Bill Frisell.

	just a slight note that the "female vocals" mentioned in reality is Arve Henriksen singing. I watched Supersilent perform twice, and he really - amazingly - is able to sing that way.
