This has been seen as both the strength and weakness of the
concept and album - as a strength as this shows what a broad
field of musical conventions I could be associated with, and
as a weakness as people don't know what to expect from me on
a commercial market. However, the album sold out all of its
copies and attracted a diverse audience, mainly Norwegian.
One of the songs (It's a ghost in my computer) was played on
a major 'Russ' event in Studenter Samfunnet in Trondheim, which
was great as I got to see how a bigger audience (400-500 people)
reacted to my music. It was a success as people danced clearly
liking what they heard, and the DJ insisted on playing this
for some people in the industry, trying to get a record deal
for me. I have not heard from him...
A local youth orientated magazine in Trondheim (Terapi) wrote
a lengthy critique of the album. I received 3 of 5 fingers as
a rating mainly as my diversity lowered my chances of breaking
it in the industry. Acknowledging this fact I started to realise
that Wonderflow never would be huge, and the audience would
mainly keep being small and local. Still I chose to continue
the Wonderflow project, and rather nudge the style into something
less diverse, and perhaps more predictable.
