Glenn Main - Electronic Secret (2008)

Glenn Main is a Norwegian electronic music composer whose music is influenced by such luminaries as Jean Michel Jarre, Klaus Schulze, Vangelis, Tangerine Dream and Kitaro.

He started his own recording studio in Oslo during the early 1990’s and released his first solo albums “Electronic Secret” in 2008 He has released 5 more solo albums. “Message”, “Arctic Treasures”, “Christmatronic”, and then with the UK record label AD Music ”Ripples” and “Into The Blue”.

He has subsequently carved a niche for himself by creating well produced, melodic electronic music that clearly mirrors his influences, yet strikingly retains a totally unique style. Glenn’s music also shows that he is not afraid to push boundaries and explore new musical territory while remaining true to his unique core style and musical integrity. A prolific live performer in Norway, Glenn has won critical acclaim from fans and media alike for his concerts. ‘Ripples’ won the German Schallwelle Music award for best electronic music CD in 2013.

Electronic Secrets is a 10-part suite of chilled electronic music with a touch of Jean Michel Jarre, Kitaro and Vangelis, inspired by the late 70’s-early 80’s golden age of synth music.
Of these influences, the most obvious is Jarre. Glenn’s obvious affection for Jarre’s music will excite many, and for fans of classic synth music, Electronic Secrets deserves attention on its own merits.
The album is made up of 10 songs in a continuous mix. All are melodically focused, with simple themes that are repeated with various instrumental combinations. Glenn creates interest through tasteful arrangements and his choice of sounds, rather than from fiery solos.
