This all comes together in his new release 8 Bits of Bliss from Sundance Records Screw Generation X and all their glory, this is generation Nintendo comin' at ya in a furious passing of generations! Heavily inspired by 80's gaming music, heavily inspired by the best of psytrance so far, this is a really unique look into electronic dance psychedelica, Lars invented a new sound that is unique to him.

Huge driving basslines that never get too in your face, quirky, cutting edge engineering, blissful melodies, retro 8 bit sound exploration, its all here. Definitely an album that has been written with the huge festival sound systems in mind, the louder it gets the more it makes sense. This is micro meets macro on a psychedelic mission beyond nintendo... play with it if you dare. Check out the new sound from the Swedish forest underground, you won't be disappointed. http://www.myspace.com/artaxsweden User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License and may also be available under the GNU FDL..
