Glenn is probably tired of being compared to Jarre by now, but while the comparison isn't far fetched, there's also a unique "Glenn" style to the music. Most tracks are bouncier and more poppy than the average Jarre tracks. Catchy melodies and very nice common synthesizersounds.

Here Glenn plays classical christmas traditionals with his typical style and his usual synthesizersounds, that sound sometimes like Jarre.

His music is inspired by the late 70’s-early 80’s golden age of synth music. Of the influences that Henriksen notes, the most obvious is Jarre. Henriksen’s obvious affection for Jarre’s music may excite some and turn off others, but, for fans of classic synth music, Electronic Secret deserves attention on its own merits.
The album is made up of 10 songs in a continuous mix. The songs are melodically focused, with simple themes that are repeated with various instrumental combinations. Henriksen creates interest through tasteful arrangements and his choice of sounds, rather than from fiery solos.

‘Into the Blue’ is the second Glenn Main album released by AD Music and is closer to the sound that many people have come to expect from the Norwegian synth maestro. Glenn’s primary influence is unashamedly Jean Michel Jarre and on ‘Into the Blue’, Glenn does much more than try to emulate JMJ, he builds upon that unmistakable style with flair and panache and the end result is “the sound of Glenn Main”, synth exponent extraordinaire. Make no mistake, ‘Into the Blue’ is far and away the best Glenn Main album to date! It shows a level of creativity, musical ability and maturity that goes way beyond his previous albums – Glenn has his own unmistakable style, which if anything shows us where perhaps his illustrious influence could have taken his electronic soundscapes. Those who have had the pleasure of seeing Glenn Main perform live will know that he is a sublime talent, and on ‘Into the Blue’ he shows us that musically and creatively he is now a serious force to be reckoned with!

Stunning live album from Norwegian synth maestro Glenn Main, recorded in Dortmund during his 2015 European tour. The album features 14 reworked tracks from his growing repertoire, and he is ably supported by his son Nickolas Main throughout. Torsten Abel joins them on the last 4 tracks. The music is nicely uptempo with only a couple of reflective tracks, and the album exudes a feeling of fun; clearly everyone had a great time. For Glenn Main fans this is a ‘must have’, while for fans of Jarre, this should be in your collection too. And if you’re new to Glenn’s music, then this is definitely a great place to start because it acts as an excellent ‘Best Of’ introduction, with the tracks being sufficiently different to the originals to warrant investigation.

An excellent live album with top notch production.

Glenn Main has established himself as a purveyor of high quality, melodic electronic music that sits comfortably in the realms of his influences. But his music bears only a passing resemblance to Jean Michel Jarre, Vangelis or Tangerine Dream, because Glenn has carved out a totally unique style of melodic electronic music that has grown and evolved with each new release. AD Music is pleased to release his 4th CD "Ripples", an album that cements Glenn's place in the electronic music scene by virtue of its simple genius and creativity. Glenn is not just an expert keyboard player, but 'Ripples' highlights a growing maturity and a desire to explore new musical territory that has to be applauded.
From the delicate opening "Echoes of the Past" to the evocative closing "Outward Bound" this album washes gently and serenely over the listener with a warmth and emotional prowess that few artists in the genre can achieve. 'Ripples' is an album that oozes emotion, not only through the beautiful themes that Glenn conjures, but by the clever simplicity with which he creates his musical soundscapes. 'Ripples' is a thing of beauty, a delight to be savoured.
