There are al least three bands named Norma:

1) a swedish trio,

2) argentinian one (normA) coming from La Plata city and

3) electronic music duo NORMA from Moscow.

1) The swedish trio plays a mixture of ambient, kraut, noise, electronica, indie with a strict, repetitive bass/drum pattern and a magnificent, wide and almost hypnotic sound.

2) While the argentinian band is basically a psychedelic and indie rock band who plays sonic guitars, repetitive and sickness voices, having a simple actitude and posse but complex thoughts. They deal with contradictions and use them to paralize your mind and shake your body. Listem them at purevolume, buy they albums at [yrl=http://www.caladiscos.com.ar/cd_norma.htm]CalaDiscos, or keep on reading one of this three interesting reviews: an album review at Global Art, a newspapper's article at Clarín and finally a post at Crudos Blog.

3) Dance music hooligans, russian NORMA started in 1998 with trip-hop, through alternative to the eclectic breaking the rules... Norma's music plays in a lot of TV programs, movies and theatre performances. NORMA is not “studio project” - sets with live guitar violate the “housey” rules on big festivals, sharing one stage with Gabriel and Dresden, Ferry Corsten, Tiesto, Futureshock, Above and Beyond. www.normamusic.com http://profile.myspace.com/normamuzak
