Album Description:
Amethystium is a music project aiming to create and explore emotive imaginary worlds in sound. Primarily electronic-based, the compositions traverse a span of moods that includes both light and darkness, bliss and melancholy. They range from the purely relaxing to the subtly intense, creating dreamlike and evocative musical journeys. Formed by Norwegian composer/producer Oystein Ramfjord, Amethystium started out independently with a demo release in late 1999. After quickly becoming something of an underground phenomenon through word of mouth, the project was signed to then EMI/Capitol subsidiary Neurodisc Records and released a string of three Top 10 Billboard charting albums in the US.

Rating:  - Amethystium - Isabliss
STYLE
Dreamy fairy tale soundscapes delivered with lush melodic electronica and ethereal female vocals. Amethystium has deepened and developed his sound with this latest offering - the arrangements are confident and sweeping, the instrumental work lucid and bright, the vision clearer than ever. Now the vocals are mostly specially recorded performances from such singers as Lee Nisbet, Stine Mari Langstrand and Irina Mikhailova. The gorgeous downtempo beats are still multifaceted and evolving ... Read More
Rating: - PARADISE!!!
He does it again! I've been listening to Oystein Ramfjord's music for 4 years now. If I could sum it up in one word it would be "paradise". If you are new to this style of ambient, new age, electronic music I recommend "Isabliss" first. It doesn't have any chanting monks or foreign vocals which took awhile to grow on me with my first Amethystium cd "Aphelion". His music has to be the most beautiful in the universe. Oystein deserves the Nobel Peace Prize! My favorite tracks are A small Adventure, Treasure, ... Read More
Rating:  - Not as good as the previous releases
The music is soft to the ear, but I think does not overpass the themes on the prior three albums Aphelion, Odonata and Evermind still my favorites.
Rating: - Give it time...
As an Amethystium fan from the beginning, I was feverishly awaiting this latest offering. Right out of the blocks, I was blown away by the curious, yet achingly beautiful "A Small Adventure." Living up to its name, this track clocked in under 3 minutes in length. Sadly, it went down from there. I was, at first, disappointed with the rest of the album, as none of the other tracks offered the interesting and new sound of the first track.
However, after playing the disc in the background at work, the ... Read More
Rating: - Still the best "New Age" out there--a little brighter this time around
Amethystium has been very high on my list of favorites since the first album, and this one is no disappointment! For the fourth time now, Øystein Ramfjord somehow pulls out of the trite "New Age" genre with something new and truly inspiring. As new age-flavored electronica, his compositions are richly textured with synths, percussion, flutes, strings, guitars, and female vocalise.
The last album from Amethystium was a retrospective of the so-called "Dragonfly Trilogy." Now with
Isabliss, ... Read More
