Illumination – Hope To God

In the mid-1990s, two restless explorers of sound—Nicholas Sillitoe and Per Martinsen—came together as Illumination, a project that blurred the boundaries between studio precision and live improvisation. Their language was electronica, but one spoken with lo-fi grit, hi-fi clarity, and a deep trust in the energy of machines and the spontaneity of performance.

Released in 1995 on their +47 label, Hope To God arrived first as a 12″ single with raw, driving versions from Martinsen and a collaborative Istigkeit mix. Soon after, it re-emerged in the UK as a double 12″ and CD-EP, now expanded with atmospheric re-interpretations from kindred spirits, most notably Biosphere’s glacial remix.

The track became a touchstone in the Norwegian underground: hypnotic, searching, carried by layers of analog warmth and vocal fragments that felt half-remembered, half-divine. It embodied Illumination’s ethos—music that could be both a club weapon and a private prayer.

Decades on, Hope To God still resonates as more than a track: it is a moment in time, a reminder of a scene inventing itself, and a plea whispered through circuits that the future might yet hold light.
