Kieran Wyatt, Muzik Magazine:"Recorded live at the 1995 Polar Music Festival up in the wilds of Norway, Polar Sequences is the sound of what must have been one hell of a gig. At a mountain site accessible only by cable cars and caught in a violent snowstorm in darkest midwinter, Biosphere´s Geir Jenssen and Higher Intelligence Agency´s Bobby Bird sampled glacial streams and snowfalls to use in a hyper-intense electronic jam. Jenssen´s arctic moods and Bird´s keen ear for understated melodies are to the fore. A dark and minimalist composition, it will no doubt prompt comparisons with the baroque dronescapes of Dr. Atmo and Fax boss Pete Namlook, but drawing a parallel with guitar-wielding isolationists like Main, Loop and Seefeel is probably even closer to the mark. There are plenty of brooding industrial undertones, partly as a result of sampling the clink and clank of the cable cars which transported the audience to the show. If you could record God´s brainwaves, the result would sound not unlike Polar Sequences. Chilling to the (ice)core."

HIGHER INTELLIGENCE AGENCY & BIOSPHERE: BIRMINGHAM FREQUENCIES CD  EUR 15
Birmingham Frequencies is a record of an event which took place in Oct 97, within the sublime circular rhythms of Birmingham's modern architectural classic - the Rotunda. The second best loved structure in Birmingham after King Kong.
On this night, 250 people went up into the Rotunda for the first time, to hear a soundtrack by Geir Jenssen and Bobby Bird made with recordings taken from around Birmingham over the previous week. Visual impressions were also commissioned and projected on to the inner curve of
the polo mint shaped room.
The event was a follow-up/return invitation to an event two years previously, when H.I.A. and Biosphere collaborated in a live concert overlooking Tromso, Norway as part of the Polar Music Festival, a performance subsequently released as "Polar Sequences".
As the the title implies, audio/visual data was captured from various locations around the city: a sunny day in the park, a night time trip down
the canal, a visit to a Moseley flat... transmuted into an unusually warm and mesmeric impression of Birmingham.
The CD contains an additional interactive CD Rom track for Mac/PC, developed after the event, using sounds and images from the night.

SYSTEM ERROR: NOTHING CD  EUR 30
Første utgivelse fra  Higher Intelligence Agency sitt nye selskap Headphone. På Nothing , et samarbeid mellom HIA´s Bobby Bird og lydskulptøren Brian Duffy, er det nettopp ingenting som er utgangspunktet, dvs. ingen samplinger, ingen input-signal, kun samplerens egne, usynlige DNA-molekyler, som ved hjelp av digital genteknolgi spleises sammen og blir til levende, organiske lydceller. (Her finnes t.o.m en genspleiset TR-808!).  Meget sterk såkalt "intelligent techno" dominert av høyteknologiske elektro-rytmer over varm, atmosfærisk melankoli.
