Artist History My first CD, "64" was released independently in late 1996. Since then I've been involved in various projects: remixes of other artists (Klaus Schulze, Jean Michel Jarre, Mystical Sun, Dimbodius), a CD-Rom with samples for musicians, a website loaded with free analogue samples (www.analoguesamples.com) and more. In May 1999 my second CD "Karooshi Porn" was released by german label Ninetysix Sounds. Right now I'm working on my third album.

Press Reviews Reviews of "64": ************************************************** "Progressive in nature with the emotion fueled beat layering, Fogelberg has devised a new format by which beats and rhythms can be spliced together to attain virtual perfection." (DJ Huron, Digital Artifact magazine issue #6 1997) ************************************************** "Great music for a great future." (Amazing Sounds)..... ************************************************** "64 is a deeply soulful CD where the atmosphere is changing from tune to tune and the music never for a moment gets boring" (Joakim Norling, Tekno Magazine issue 2, 1997) ************************************************** Reviews of "Karooshi Porn": ************************************************** "This album by Fogelberg, in this sense, shows us a new, original path that will probably be followed by many other artists in the future." (Edgar Kogler, Amazing Sounds) ************************************************** "Covering the whole gamut of ambient, electronic and dance styles with a casual flair, Fogelberg seems like he can move in any direction at any time - and he does." (Lloyd Barde, Backroad Music) ************************************************** "His analog sensibilities recall mid-eighties synth-pop, but the scale of his work is more reminiscent of the massive, sweeping grandeur of Vangelis." (GZ, Splendid E-Zine) ************************************************** "At no point during the entire 70 minutes does boredom arise. The expectations of the listener are constantly turned upside down and kicked into new directions." (Mushroom #56 06/99) ************************************************** "KarooshiPorn is best listened - to, to chill you out after a long night partying, or for no particular reason - simply dive into the music. A juicy morsel!" (Raveline 06/99) ************************************************** "Karooshi Porn" was recently selected 7th best album on the Musical Starstreams Top 20 albums of 1999 list.
