Connected (released 2004 in Oslo, Norway by Jazzland – 0602498663783) is a Nu Jazz album by the Norwegian guitarist Eivind Aarset.^[1]^[2]

All About Jazz critique John Kelman, in his review of Aarset's album Connected states:

... but the unique language that he has developed over the course of his previous two efforts, Electronique Noire and Light Extracts, would imply a more formidable technique at play that is simply so subtle that it is subsumed in the sheer musicality of the work. And that's exactly how it should be...^[3]

The review of the Norwegian newspaper Dagbladet awarded the album 5 stars (dice).^[2]
