Magnet chronology

Quiet & Still is Magnet's debut album, first released in Norway on 10 October 2000 after the dissolution of his previous band Libido. In the US, the album was released on 15 May 2001 under his birth name, Even Johansen, and featured his picture on the album cover (whereas the Norwegian release featured a logo). The album features early versions of "Where Happiness Lives" and "Nothing Hurts Now", which he would re-record for the follow-up album On Your Side. It also features a cover of Thin Lizzy's "Dancing in the Moonlight (It's Caught Me in Its Spotlight)", written by Phil Lynott.

AllMusic	[1]

AllMusic's Stanton Swihart awarded Quiet & Still four-and-a-half out of five stars, and praised the album as "a resplendent oasis, catatonic in the most stunning of ways, and like all such phenomena, there is something both uplifting and sorrowful about it, as if the music is both ephemeral and timeless."[1]

gollark: No, I don't mean sell actual *people*.

gollark: Or if countries could sell employment, just in the abstract, if they have an excess of it, so other countries can boost their statistics.

gollark: It would be neat if you could *sell* unemployment too.

gollark: Hmm, yes, fair point. Split the research in half and make *half* of it public and the *other* half not public!

gollark: This is a time in which it would be totally possible to just stick the PDFs (or EPUBs/HTML, which are superior) on a website or something at reasonably low cost.
