Vibrasphere are Rickard Berglöf and Robert Elster progressive psytrance act from Uppsala, Sweden.
History
They began their musical path in the mid-nineties. Rickard had a blossoming career in the very new trance scene as a member of early Goa group Subcouds and around the same time Robert was taking his first steps in musical production on his trusty Amiga. After meeting through Rickard's younger cousin, the pair decided to enter the studio in the summer of 1998 with the creation of Vibrasphere.
However, the constant touring life took its toll on Robert; he decided to quit the group half a year after the release of Lime Structure, their second album. Rickard continued the act, both touring and in the studio, but increasingly as his civil career took precedence, it appeared as if Vibrasphere's days were numbered. However, in 2005 Robert decided to rejoin the group-leaving Rickard still in charge of touring duties, but his return to the studio guaranteed the sound of their new album in 2006 is a return to the source for Vibrasphere fans.
2006 saw the return of the duo, with a plethora of releases for Vibrasphere. An EP in March (the "Landmark EP") will present the first taster of the long awaited 3rd album- "Archipelago" on MPDQX/Digital Structures. Just as every Archipelago is made up of hundreds and hundreds of islands of different sizes and shapes- their aim was to create a release with great diversity centered around one central theme.
Current events
Their current fourth album "Exploring the Tributaries" (2007) took a few more leaps towards progressive, fading the barriers between trance and house music while also featuring dub, downbeat and ambient tracks.
