Свен Грюнберг - ОМ Sven Grünberg (born 24 November 1956, Tallinn) is an Estonian synthesizer and progressive rock composer and musician best known for his meditative organ and electronic works involving the concepts of Tibetan Buddhism. He has collaborated with the film director Olav Neuland and written the soundtracks for the most of his films. In the 1970s Grünberg was the leader of the progressive rock band Mess, which was founded by him in January 1974 together with Härmo Härm. REVIEW: In the mid-‘80s, as documented on this collection, Grunberg moved more towards spacemusic and ambient sound, incorporating more “world-music” material into his compositions as well. He still retains his base in synthesizer special effects and sound spectacle, though; the Eastern musical motifs are no more than exotic flavors added in, taken well out of their cultural context. But that is not necessarily a bad thing; Europeans have for centuries adapted Orientalisms to their own use.
