Two bands, one from Scandinavia and one from Japan, are known by Cosmic Trigger. 1) The Scandinavian ambient duo Cosmic Trigger released Polar Regions in 1993 on Silent Records . "After 20 years of meditative mining, Tor Af Storvatten and Piitu Lintunen embarked on a spiritual quest through Northern wastelands and Norse mythologies that led them to Chalmers University in Gotenburg, Sweden. According to the liner notes, these two Nordic visionaries coincidentally met up with A.M. McKenzie (The Hafler Trio) and Zbigniew Karkowski, who were working in Chalmers and agreed to help record this album. Af Storvatten and Lintunen's research has led to this austere collection of shimmering ambience and profound ascesis that is capable of elevating one's state of being on all levels." (SR9345) -- taken from a Silent Records press release. Cosmic Trigger possibly refers to a book of the same name by author Robert Anton Wilson.
