ICELANDS "EARTH AFFAIR" COMES TO TROMSO

After a successful launch of the first album "Chapter one" last year, Earth affair crashes the live scene performing in Tromso featuring a great line-up of musicians from different cultures, mixing some keltic
sounds with cool pop-grooves and ambiant vibes along with the "Voces Thules" Gregorian singers and
Morten Harket who will also showing their support on the stage in Tromso backing the cause.

The Earth affair group was put together by Gulli Briem, a founder member of the teenage funkgroup Mezzoforte, who had massive success in the mid-eighties with the album Surprise surprise and the top ten hit single "Garden Party".
In 2005 after days & months of intensive work in London we can hear the groups first international CD release: "Chapter One"... The tearjerking, beautiful world of Earth affair.
Recorded in London, Paris, Iceland and Norway in 2004. It features among others Morten Harket from A-HA who co-wrote and performs the song "Gildas Prayer" which is the first single of the album. Earth affair represents a groove mixture of jazz, hip hop & ambient influences from around the globe. Modern gypsy flavoured french, gregorian, norwegian voices and melodies create something that is rather unusual but oddly familiar at the same time.

Flood (Producer and mixer: U2, Depeche mode, PJ Harvey)
Clive Martin & Sodi (Le Negresses Vertes producers)
Mathias Canavese (Le Negresses Vertes)
