Excellent chillout music.
Until recently, electronica or ambient of any sort had never been my thing - too dance-y and too boring, respectively. Then, somehow or another, I delved a little deeper into this sort of ethereal ambient music, and love it. br / br /Amethystium's sound is a fascinating one: gentle, mesmerizing electronica (it seems crude to call it dance music, since it's really not), incorporating almost everything from female vocals to Gregorian-style chants. It's a bit classical, a bit pop, New Age, exotic - I've heard it called slightly gothic. It is, in short, many things. br / br /The main downside is that it's not really the sort of music you can do much with except play in the background and relax to, and the songs become a little samey after a while, but they're still different enough to be able to pick favourites - Ethereal, Arcus and Anthemoessa are my personal top three. br / br /Amethystium is all the more interesting for being the brainchild and project of a single person, Norwegian composer and musician Øystein Ramfjord, who has released three other albums under the Amethystium name. However, if you are new to his music, I would recommend 'Emblem' for a well-rounded sampling of his best works from the past few years. br / br /[Similar music: Sleepthief, Blue Stone, Enigma]

Fantastic
I have been listenting to Amethystium for just over a year now and have enjoyed the relationship immensely. I find it difficult to describe this type of music - it is much more than simply instrumental music - sometimes dark and brooding; sort of like chill-out dance music with ethereal vocals. The rhythyms are easy to get into and I would imagine most people will know whether they like the music quickly. The artist is very talented and I look forward to his future releases.
