Light Extracts is an album by Norwegian guitarist Eivind Aarset's Électronique Noire.

AllMusic critique Thom Jurek, in his review of Aarset's album Light Extracts states:
... Basses rattle in the underpinned rhythmic center as Aarset's guitar plies a textural schema trying to get to and undo the fixed center of the track.
He loose-hands his way around the fretboard, playing against the rhythm and on top of it until everything gives way to some new form of musically crystalline darkness.
Light Extracts is light years ahead of everybody in this game and a few notches above his first effort. This is the cat to watch.... - Wikipedia

Ended the weekend and welcomed the week after a walk in the rain with Connected an album by Norwegian guitarist Eivind Aarset.

John Kelman in his review states, "...the unique language that he has developed over the course of his previous two efforts, Electronique Noire and Light Extracts, would imply a more formidable technique at play that is simply so subtle that it is subsumed in the sheer musicality of the work. And that's exactly how it should be..."

The review of the Norwegian newspaper Dagbladet awarded the album 5 stars (dice). - Wikipedia

Ended Monday and welcomed Tuesday after a swim with Électronique Noire an album by Norwegian guitarist Eivind Aarset.

This is a ground breaking debut solo album, and whether collaborating with trumpeter Nils Petter Molvaer or recording for Bugge Wesseltoft's Jazzland label, Eivind Aarset remains a highly treasured ambasadour of the Norwegian jazz scene. Électronique noire was rated "one of the best electric jazz albums of the post-Miles era" by no less than The New York Times. Melting jazz and electronic music into the most unexpected alloys, incorporating Aarsets unstoppable creativity and very personal sound, the result is an appreciably hearable album.

The AllMusic review awarded the album 4 stars,[2] and the reviewer Beate Nossum of the Norwegian newspaper Dagbladet awarded the album dice 3 - Wikipedia

8 years ago I released my EP "Moving" on Beatservice Records – still very proud of it!

It captures nature, from deep caves, to Arctic winters, from rainy mornings to waves on the shore.

Blow Out by Håkon Graf / Sveinung Hovensjø / Jon Eberson / Jon Christensen, released on Compendium Records in 1977

One of the standout gems on the legendary Compendium Records label of the 70s – an imprint that was as important to Norway as Love Records was to the scene in Finland! Both labels share a fresh approach to jazz – musicians who are working in fusion, but not afraid to move into proggier territory too – which makes a record like this instantly appealing to fans of both musics, as well as other sorts of 70s electric jazz! There's no vocals at all – and the set features loads of great keyboards from Haakon Graf – playing moog, Fender Rhodes, and organ – in a combo with Jon Eberson on guitar, Jon Christensen on drums, and Sveinung Hovensjo on bass... - Dusty Groove

Ended Wednesday and started Thursday with Light Extracts an album by Norwegian guitarist Eivind Aarset's Électronique Noire

This is the second solo album by the Norwegian guitarist Eivind Aarset for Bugge Wesseltoft's Jazzland label, and as a follow-up of the well received debut album Électronique Noire, it had much to live up to, and did not disappoint. Also this time ambience and club rhythms are present, but the music lives a life of itself and has become a truly separate organism. Light Extracts is an album from the top shelf. - Wikipedia
