Great Lift Journeys of Norwich

Now available in our online shop

This was inspired by an encounter with a talking lift. Djs Merkin and alpha seven hit on the idea of recording them and mixing them in between tracks on their SOFA ambient nights.

In the end Peter released Great Lift Journeys of Norwich at the start of 1997. It did feature actual lift journeys although the national media got the wrong end of the stick and assumed it contained nothing else. Still - always nice to be interviewed on the Today programme by lovely Anna Ford, even if you do get cut off half way through.

Reviews for Great lift journeys of Norwich

• an excellent gem in the ambient/chillout realm - discogs review
• Suffice to say that this is a definite grower and modern/ambient fans should give this a try - Synth music direct
• Yes, as you'd probably guess, it's well-crafted Ambient muzak, elevator music for folks who can truly appreciate it. Hints of love, hints of sadness, hints of a lot of things, easily digested and passed, leaving you instantly hungry for more. - Ambience for the masses
• A lift moves people from one floor to another, providing a single door that opens onto different scenes with different atmospheres. This record does the same thing. Sorta. Worth buying for the eponymous track, Alpha Seven, alone - Amazon

And the journo from Elevator World magazine seemed to like it too.
