Mattias’s powerful and dynamic drumming intertwines with Jacob and John Jowitt’s liquid bass and Bjørn Riis’s grinding guitars to provide the bedrock for Ketil’s mellifluous flute and Stephen’s lush analogue keyboards, guitar and passionate vocals.\u003cbr\u003e                                                 \u003cbr\u003eThe band’s influences are as varied as their geographical locations suggest, from the technical spectacle of progressive rock to the distorted insistence of Krautrock, via the intimacy of the singer-songwriter’s oeuvre. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGalasphere 347’s music revels in lyrical passion and performance.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGalasphere 347 are:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eStephen James Bennett on singing, keyboards, guitars, Gizmotron, lap steel, Taurus pedals and bits and bobs\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eKetil Vestrum Einarsen on flute and programming\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMattias Olsson on drums and electric and acoustic exotica\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eJacob Holm-Lupo on bass and staccato guitars\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBjørn Riis (Airbag) on Electric Guitars\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eJohn Jowitt (IQ, Jadis, John Wetton) on bass\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMyke Clifford (Henry Fool) on Sax\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePete Smith (Subway on bass and bass pedals)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"galasphere-347-galasphere-347-cd-new-artist","title":"Galasphere 347 \"Galasphere 347\" CD (NEW ARTIST)","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: 'Calibri',sans-serif; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;\"\u003eGalasphere 347 - Galasphere 347 (CD)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFrom Our Friends at Karisma Records\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNoSpacing\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;\"\u003eGalasphere 347’s self-titled debut album is like a progressive rock cruise in outer space—with Stephen James Bennett at the helm.
