2004 celebrates the 20th anniversary of VIDNA OBMANA. These past 20 years signified VIDNA OBMANA as one of the most willful independent experimental artists around. He has recorded more than 35 CD albums, whether solo or in collaboration, of music that explore the abrasive side of electronic composition, the freeform landscapes of the isolationist ambient aesthetic, the structured interactivity of Fourth World soundscapes, international music traditions, and post-classical experimentations. "Anthology 1984-2004" marks this celebration and covers his oeuvre from 1984 up till 2004. For the first time ever, this anthology links his most successful ambient period with his most obscure earlier phase - 12 selections which range in style from ambient music in the vein of "River of Appearance" and his ambient "Trilogy" to harsh noise electronics from the early 80"s. This is a unique and provocative document confirming VIDNA OBMANA"s essential position in the field of electronic and modern experimental music. The circle is complete and a new path lies ahead.
