Green Isac Orchestra — Bar ( Spotted Peccary SPM-1305, 2021, LP) by Peter Thelen , Published 2021-03-17 The original Green Isac, the Norwegian duo of Morten Lund (keyboards, guitar) and Andreas Eriksen (keyboards, percussion) on their first two albums on Origo/Eurock Strings and Pottery (1990) and the follow-up Happy Endings (1992) had an abundance of great ideas in the area of ambient, textural, and world-music with just a hint of Nordic folk in the mix, but the problem was that they were underpowered and those ideas rarely got off the ground for long, and as such might be relegated to the role of soundtrack music at best. With the passage of nine years and a switch to Spotted Peccary’s Wanderings label, the duo began to employ some additional instrumentation (via collaborations) on some of the tunes to further enrich their sound — first wood flutes and clarinet on 2001’s Groundrush , and three or so years later with cello, djembe and additional percussion on Etnotronica .
