• Erlend Sellevold is the composer and electronic main man in Ralph Myerz and the Jack Herren Band (Emperor Norton/Rycodisc). Along the years with the Jack Herren Band, there was much material and ideas that didn’t quite fit with the RM&TJHB formula. This material was the starting point for the work on the solo-album Ralphorama. Erlend Sellevold has been working day and night with this album the last two years, breaking one deadline after another. And Ralphorama has become a tour de force of what Erlend Sellevold/Ralph Myerz stands for, a tour de force of an album with one masterpiece followed by the other!

• Some of the tracks are style wise familiar with the two first albums from RM&TJHB: melancholic downbeat-oriented electronica, two of them with vocals from Christine Sandtorv (courtesy of Ephemera). However, the main difference from the RM&TJHB material is in the first part of the album, where the vocalist Erlend Sellevold steps forward: a handful of tracks topped with the great 80’s white-boy-disco-rap-track All Night Long (in a duet with Caro) with tongue-in-cheek references and to bands like Indeep and Modern Romance.

• Then the album does a new surprising turn, when Erlend is joined with a bunch of American rappers: Devin The Dude, Kurupt, Taleb Kweli, Planet Asia, J Wells and others from the crews around Snoop Dog and Ice Cube.
