A sample of some obscure – and maybe not obscure – tunes from my strange and off-the-wall collection.

Today’s dual selection: Amethystium – “Ilona“/”Shadow To Light“

Amethystium is a solo music project by the Norwegian Øystein Ramfjord.

Ilona is one of my favorites from the album Odonata (1999/2001)
Shadow To Light is considered one of the best from his album Aphelion (2003).

“Amethystium could be described as a subtler Delerium, a less self-conscious Enigma, or a second cousin to Mythos. Ramfjord favors a lighter, spacier vibe than most of the aforementioned acts though.“

Does that help?

Øystein was 18 when he released his first album Odonata as a free mp3 download in 1999.
