Solid Ether is an album by Norwegian trumpeter, composer and producer Nils Petter Molvær, recorded in 1999 and released on ECM May the following year. ==Reception== On All About Jazz, Chris M. Slawecki called it "a stunning meltdown of classic jazz trumpet styles with modern techno, drum-and-bass and electronic music." The AllMusic review by David R. Adler stated "Not everyone will "get" this kind of music, and die-hard jazzers might laugh it off as an inconsequential fad. But it's actually a seismic innovation that is just getting started." Robert Christgau gave the album an A, noting, "He immerses in chaos and comes out beautiful." ==Track listing== ==Personnel== Nils Petter Molvær – trumpet, piccolo trumpet, electronic trumpet, synthesizer, bass, loops, electronics, sampler, effects, percussion, piano, synth-bass, vocoder trumpet, voice effects, beats, sound treatment Eivind Aarset – guitar, effects (tracks 1, 2 & 5–9) Audun Erlien – bass (tracks 2 & 5–9) Rune Arnesen, Per Lindvall – drums (tracks 2 & 5–9) DJ Strangefruit – electronics, sampler, voice, scratches (tracks 5, 6, 8 & 9) Sidsel Endresen – vocals (tracks 4 & 10) ==References==
