Very interesting guy, Rypdal. I used to go out with a lovely girl also called Rypdal - don't know if they were related. I worked as a musician in Oslo for 6 years and toured a lot. Rypdal lives on the coast in More og Romsdal, which is one of the most magical places on Norway. It also contains the town called Rypdal, so I guess they're all from around there originally.
I like Rypdal's use of space and electronics, though his rock roots are a bit of a turn-off for me. He used to play like Hank Marvin originally, which is a million miles from the music I sympathise with. There have been a lot of good jazz musicians in Norway and I was lucky enough to play with a few of them.
