Ugress

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ugress is an electronica project from Bergen, Norway. The man behind this project is Gisle Martens Meyer.

Ugress has released two albums: Resound, released in 2002, climbed to the second place on the official Norwegian chart board.[citation needed] A second album, Cinematronics, was released two years later.

Ugress means weed in Norwegian (weed as in an unwanted plant and not as in the street name for cannabis).

Ugress's music can be related to other artists as Crystal Method, Chemical Brothers and Propellerheads.[citation needed] Some similarities to Röyksopp have been suggested, but Ugress is described as having a more "dirty" style.[citation needed] Ugress use lots of sample snippets from various artists and TV shows. Ugress is not the only project of Gisle Martens Meyer, it is actually one of several different projects by Uncanny Records.
