None of the above\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe answer for any who have heard the group's entire discography is, indeed, both (l) and (m) because in its two decades of existence - across five studio albums, one live album, five EPs (CD and vinyl), one live DVD and now this box set - Jaga has, at one time or another, been all of these things and yet at the end of the day is really none of them.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eIt's hard to believe that the Norwegian 8-piece band (founded on the Horntveth triumvirate - Lars, Martin and Line) is celebrating its 20th anniversary this year, in 2014. Not that there aren't other groups that have lasted as long, but look for a group whose primary composer was just 14 when the whole thing began, find a band where five out of its eight current members were there when everything started in 1994, and scope out one that has managed to remain as stylistically enigmatic and impossible to categorise as... well, you get the idea.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eAnd so we thought it fitting to mark the band's 20th year with a unique, limited edition vinyl box set featuring a special reissue of the landmark album 'A Livingroom Hush' (2004) with 4 previously unreleased demo cuts from those recording sessions as bonus digital downloads.
