His second CD "Karooshi Porn" explored the realm of ambient and soft electronica.
His later work includes dance remixes of other artists and his own blend of
euphoria-laden dance music.
"There's a bit of a retro feel to Fogelberg's work. His analog sensibilities
recall mid-eighties synth-pop, but the scale of his work is more reminiscent of
the massive, sweeping grandeur of Vangelis. While the lush, relaxing textures
employed on Karooshi Porn could easily be lumped in with the ambient crowd,
these are quite clearly compositions with goals more specific and lofty than
gently easing the listener out of an E-induced euphoria. While danceable cuts
like "Life in a Tube" argue KarooshiPorn's place among nineties techno, you
might find it most enjoyable if you enjoyed the not-quite-electronic/not-quite-New-Age
material Private Music released in the late eighties -- Patrick O'Hearn's albums,
for instance." 1999. Copyright G.Zahora / Splendid E-Zine
"This is a record with interesting electronic textures and rhythms. It always is
pleasant to listen to well elaborated, varied sounds. This album by Fogelberg,
in this sense, shows us a new, original path that will probably be followed by
many other artists in the future." - Edgar Kogler/Amazing Sounds
"The expectations of the listener are constantly turned upside down and kicked
into new directions. It's really a true treasure chest." Mushroom #56 06/99
