THREE NEW RELEASES:
And they're all physical. First out is a release that I've been planning to get out since I made the track. It's a 44 minute long piece and a follow up to the War-album in the Anti-War Series I've got as Torstein Wjiik. This is the second of all together 6 releases that will make up the series. I hope to collect these albums into a box sometime later on. This new one is called Hirsoshima and has a lot of the same elements as "War" has. It's got a ambient structure, but I'll promise you some harsh stuff again.
The second release I've got out today also includes Torstein Wjiik tracks. This is a mini-album split with Animal Machine lasting just about 10 minutes. It's maybe enough? Strange but nice album this (if it really can be called an album?)! It's also released on Kifrecording in Poland in even smaller edition than on Ambolthue. 10 to be exact, while Ambolthue released the 1st edition in 23 copies. The name of the record is quite long, and it is called "Balance Of Disorder, 3.5 Billion years Resistance To Evolution / Good Day To You Sir. How's It Going?". Enjoy!
The final release is number 50 in my catalogue. I know I've got some gaps, but believe me... Some day it'll be out. This record is a 3-way split between Kobi, Crazy River & Love Hz and it's called "Live In Kobe. This release was recorded during these three artists tour of Japan during March 2007. All these tracks was recorded at the Helluva Lounge, Kobe, Japan 26.Mar.2007. If you're looking for one of the best live splits this year I guess this should be amoung the records you can choose between.

26.Apr.2008
TWO NEW RELEASES:
Another Trass-release is out now. It's from Origami Uniomystika this time and it's called Jesus Loves You. Download it now!!!
Another new release is also available. The Norwegian Noise Orchestra concert from the Øya Festival in 2007 in the Dans For Voksne tent is now available on CDR from Ambolthue in limited edition of 40 copies sprayed disc version. The title is of course as easy as Live At Øyafestivalen with beautiful photos on the cover taken by Tore Borvik. There's also a un-sprayed version available that I'll start to sell when the sprayed ones are sold out, and that the artists may sell if the want. That edition is unlimited. 32 minutes of noises from 17 different persons. Sounds like a blast? It is! It's actually more exciting than you think. You can really hear the layers. Goodshit!!!

22.Mar.2008
UPDATED MP3-RELEASE + NEW AMBTRASS:
I've just updated the Origami Boe - Acoustic Laptops-release with a new track. You've got 16 more minutes of enjoyable acoustic laptop-sounds to listen to now, so download the great MP3's and the catalog now for free!!! I've also added the new AMBTRASS-Release for March. It's from Origami Traumatika, and it's named Avant-Gotlandica. Download your free goodshit now!!!

14.Mar.2008
ORDERS IN SPAM-BOX:
I just want to warn everyone who's sending me mails with orders that I have a strict spam-filter and I get over 100 spam-mails a day, but when I pressed the delete all spam-button yesterday I noticed (while the mail was updating) that I had an order-mail in the spam-box. This may have happened before as well, so if you haven't had any response on orders it's because it has gone in the spam-box. I'll try to check trough the spam-box better in the future, but use topics like "ORDER" or "DEMO" etc if you're mailing me. It's easier to discover the mails in the spam-pile then. Sorry if you're one of the unlucky ones.

08.Mar.2008
FREE VIDEO-RELEASE:
I just released a downloadable version of "Enviromental Testing Device - Insects vs. Machines", also released as VCD on Kif Recording. It's a 1 minute long video in WMV (Please ask me for other formats if you can't play wmv / windows media video) and it can be downloaded from here: Insects vs. Machines.

06.Mar.2008
NEW RELEASES:
The KA - 031 3"CDr is now out. It's limited to 60 numbered copies. I've also uploaded the new catalog from Origami Boe as a part of the exhibition "Acoustic Laptops". The MP3-release is called Acoustic Laptops Audio Appendix and are recorded by Origami Boe & Tom Løøberg (Tom, who also made a mini-documentary about the laptops).

24.Feb.2008
NEW RELEASES + PREORDER:
The second release in the lovely Trass! MP3-Releases-series is out now. You can download it from this site and it's called The Stranger and is made by Origami Kafka.
I'm also finally ready to let you know about the San_Pedro - San_Pedro 3"CDr I released on christmas eve 2007, but all copies was given away as christmas gift to the artist. San_Pedro said he liked the surprise, so he said I could release it properly. I gave it the catalogue number AMBOLT-44 and pressed 20 copies more, so it's totally limited to 40 copies. I't finally available for the audience!
Also the KA - 031 3"CDr is possible to order now. It'll be released in early March and is limited to 60 numbered copies, with a huge possibility for re-pressing. So Ambolthue seems to be more active than ever this year!!!

19.Feb.2008
NEW RELEASE:
Today I released the fantastic HOH Remixer Album. It's a compilation of remixes done by HOH on various sound sources. This is a mighty good one, and if you like groovy, absurd and nice rhythms and loops then this is definitively something for you!

16.Feb.2008
NEW CDR:
A new CDR with Ronny Wærnes came out yesterday. The first edition is limited to 30 copies, but there'll probably be a second print-on-demand-edition when the first edition is sold out. It's a great record, lasting about 30 minutes of fantastic energy, and the album is called Johnny Guitar.

01.Feb.2008
NEW CDR-CARD:
Finally!!! The Fredrik Ness Sevendal CDR-Card is out! It's been a long time since this was confirmed, and finally you'll have the chance to get it. But only 20 copies are made, and only 3(!!!) are left in stock, so get it while you can! It's called Blood On A Seagull, and it's got beautyful artwork made by the fantastic designer Bjørn Kjetil Johansen. If you are one of the unlucky who don't get a hold of this while it's in stock, then you should definitively get the comp. with all the cards collected when it's released. This piece is one of the best tracks I've heard in a long time, so hopefully you'll be as satesfied as I am with this!

27.Jan.2008

HAPPY NEW YEAR!:
Hello everyone and happy new year. There's still some copies of the Anla Courtis-card left, but not many, so be quick and get your copy! This year will be a fantastic year for Ambolthue. The already planned records to come are great, and there'll probably be more fantastic stuff to come as well, so keep your eyes open and join the mailorder if you haven't done it yet. You won't be one of the unlucky people who misses the great stuff coming out here. Well as I'm tired as hell writing this news-message I have to stop now and get some sleep. But as said, much to look forward to this year!

21.Dec.2007

The next CDR-card will of course be in edition of 20 numbered copies, as all the other cards, and it will be released the first day of the first month next year: 01.January.2008 that'll say.

19.Dec.2007
GOLDEN OPPERTUNITY / BACK IN STOCK:
The first CDR-Card released on Ambolthue is now available again. I just found 4 of these again, and these are really the last 4 you'll ever have the oppertunity to get from me! Next time you'll see these will probably be on eBay or something (if ever!)... It's the lovely Torstein Wjiik - Judgement Day, and it costs 40NOK (about $8US). Get it while you can!

18.Nov.2007
NEW RELEASE:
Maskinanlegg has not played live in Oslo in 2 and a half years now. Before today!!! This concert (that's highly unregular in it's way it was performed) was released on Ambolthue only few seconds after the show, and it's called Spanhein Disco 1977. It's limited to 25 copies on DVDr. Get it while it's still in stock!

17.Nov.2007
NEW RELEASE:
Today, a new release from the fantastic Maja Ratkje was released. It's a 3"CDR in edition of only 80 copies! I doubt there will be re-pressings of this, but you never know. But this is anyway an extraordinary release that you should get anyway! The record is called Teip, and it contains 20 minutes of raw-material recorded various places over the last 3 years.

14.Nov.2007
NEW MP3-SINGLE:

03.Oct.2007
SIX NEW RELEASES:
It's actually more correct to say it's seven new releases that's released today on Ambolthue, but one of them is both a MP3-release and a special edition CDR. Anyway, the releases are the field-recording comp. called What More Do You Need Than A Recorder?. It's a great limited edition (100 copies) CDR with recordings from around the world.
The second release is Carl Kruger - Gravity Maps I witch is also released as a MP3-Album. The CDR-version comes with special artwork (writing book, pencil + eraser), and it's limited to 20 numbered copies.
Bonemachine is the next artist on todays menu, with his dark and nice CDR, Right Now!. It's also a limited edition as we all love, and is only available for 45 lucky people, or maybe less if someone gets a hold of more than one copy.
Finally some Japanese music on Ambolthue as well with Kenji Siratori. It's Future Freedom, a death noise record limited to 70 copies on CDR, and also released on Tape Rape Records today in edition of 10 on C60 cassette. Tape Rape Records has also released two other great releases, as the label lounches today, and the other releases is from Tape Rape (artist) and the lovely Torstein Wjiik.
Torstein Wjiik is also the guy behind the two last releases on Ambolthue today. It's the fantastic concert he did on the Støy På Landet festival this summer, and the releases are called the very same (Live At Støy På Landet). You might wonder why I mentioned two new releases from mr.Wjiik when I'm only telling you one release-title. Well, it's actually the same recording on both releases, just that it's released on different formats, one 3"CDR-version and one on 3"DVDR. This is only the first editions of both releases, as they will be re-released on 5" (normal size) CDR and DVDR when the first edition is sold out. The 3"CDR is limited to 30 copies, and the 3"DVD only to 17 copies. Both these first edition versions has got original flyers coming with the releases, and the flyer is numbered as well.
I highly reccomand buying all these new Ambolthue titles as they are all very good. And also check out Tape Rape Records (Ambolthue's new sub-label).

19.Sep.2007
REVIEWS:
The reviews page has been updated now with three new Vital Weekly reviews and a review on Eat Trash, Shit Money!. It's reviews of Origami Tacet - In Low-Flux, Mystified - Mellow Utility & Mor Monsen - Lastenfound. Enjoy the reviews. By the way, there's lots of good Ambolthue-titles just around the corner...

17.Aug.2007
NEW MP3-RELEASE:
The ugliest cover released on Ambolthue so far is now available for free download. And it also contains 4 tracks if you want to download them as well, wohoo! It's "RPM FTW" from Torstein Wjiik. The album was recorded in February for the RPM Challenge, but I decided to release it, just so you can get the fantasic (or maybe not so fantastic) music into your home... The bad cover was proudly made by myself, and hopefully you'll let your printer use a lot of ink on making the MP3's physical with the cover... Enjoy!!!

13.Aug.2007
MAILORDER UPDATE:
I've got some extra copies of some of the great records of my good friend Tore Bøe today, so please check the mailorder and get what you don't have of his releases. Not only is he a good guy, but he makes seriously great music as well!
Also the Origami Tacet 3"CDR is just so good that I've decided to re-pressings when the first edition of 50 copies is sold out... Probably something new with the second edition in the cover style or something, but the music is just too good to be waisted in just 50 copies...

10.Aug.2007
NEW RELREASES + BACK IN STOCK:
First of all, I got a few more copies of the Love Hz - Live At Blå 3"CDr available now from the mailorder, and yesterday I was releasing 4 new releases, at the same day as the first of 3 Klubb Kanin evenings to celebrate the 10 years KK has been active.

NEW RELEASE:

The already burned copies from Ambolthue is similar to the ones on Badschematic, and you'll actually own one if you just download it, burns it, and fix the cover.

20.Jan.2007
My PC has some hardware trouble at the moment, so I'm sitting on a laptop right now. An extract of the Kamloops record is now awailable at the download section. The quality on the extrack is kind of bad (some error when I made the extract) so it's cleaner on the real release.

03.Jan.2007
Another record just around the corner:
