An new extended version of the original LP "Odyssey" will be out on ECM in 2012 (2 x CD). Featuring the "lost" track "Rolling Stone" and also the commisioned piece "Unfinished Highballs etc." with Odyssey and Swedish Radio Big Band".
I love this. But does anyone else hear fragments - and I mean fragments, I am not accusing anyone of plagiarism - of the oboe theme of The Mission by Morricone, especially between 0:20 and 0:45?
@filtecuk Nicely heard! This little 5-note combination (Morricone, 4-note with Rypdal) is almost identical. However, it is very much used by Terje, i.e. in Innseiling (1980) just before the drums comes in. I think its his most used combination when improvising. (Its also used in "Farewell, 1975).
Didnt know him. Just knew that the soundtrack of Heat was my favourite one ever. Always thought it was written by a genius film composer. Just amazing. I watch the movie again and again, most poethic action movie ever. Great to see the man who wrote this tracks and made heat with them to a masterpiece of Filmhistory.
A 5 x CD live box with the Skywards trio (Rypdal, Storløkken, Vinaccia) is out on Jazzland. Title: Paolo Vinaccia: Very much Alive - featuring Terje Rypdal, Ståle Storløkken & Palle Mikkelborg. Recommended! Features two versjons of "Mystery Man".
@destruction143 never heard a soundtrack that moves as well with a film like Heat's soundtrack. Last Nite is flawless , like nightime melting over two lovers trying to find each other in the dark .... and Mystery Man is personally my favorite song , period . Does it not fit Neal perfectly ?
Matthew.. I never really thought of TR as being an influence on Beck, but now that you mention it, I can TOTally hear it.. say on a tune like"Where were You".. the legato feel, the harmonics, the swells- of course... it's all there!! This IS a really pretty tune, btb.
Norwegian guitarist Terje Rypdal never achieved the level of commercial success that his fellow ECM guitarists Pat Metheny and Bill Frisell eventually did, but he made excellent music while earning a cult following. Rypdal's style is more than a little like Frisell's, in that place where sonic density, texture and timbre are as critical as note choices and phrasing.
The first part reminds me of Coming Back To Life from the Division Bell album of Pink Floyd, by Maestro David Gilmour. In parts bits of Frank Zappa, possibly colleague of Swedish counterpart Roine Stolt of Flower Kings. Bits of Peter Green, the good old original master guitarist of Fleedwood Mack (remember Albatross). Very skillful, well done, bit cliche at times, but should be awesome to see him play live and learn some of his licks..
Have I ever told you... or would you believe that Mystery Man by Terje Rypdal is my favorite music composition ever? There are no better ones for me. It is perfect for the ear, wonderful for the soul, groundbreaking for the heart, and peaceful for the mind. I feel as a human being when I listen to this song.
More great Terje Rypdal music for us to enjoy and study! Its interesting to hear Jon Christensen playing a Chasers style gig. Thanks again Lasse!! You are the true Terje Rypdal historian! Rob Tullius

the guitarrist for Melting Euphoria is also underrated. They are similar to Ozric Tentacles and Gong and Hawkwind.

Terje is just as original Hendrix was... he is and will be a major influence for other guitarists.

Long life to Rypdal!!!

I always liked his After the Rain album and the doulbe album with Rolling Stone. rypdals work with Vitous and Dejohnette was alos very interesting.
Maybe someone can explain the Russel Music theory system he used. Thank you, Heydo.
