Mostly great

"Eyvind Kang is one of my favourite musicians of the past few years. He is one of a rare breed who is actually doing something different in the music world. I think that this is a great album, but my only reservation is that it falls slightly short of some of the other stuff he has produced. The pieces are mostly miniatures, exploring such diverse territory as Medieval, reggae, and Kang's infamous NADEs (pieces only he could write or describe). It is mostly stunning, but towards the end it goes downhill just a little bit.I would certainly recommend this album to anyone looking for interesting new music, but also direct you towards Kang's other work: 7 NADEs, The Story Of Iceland, Dying Ground, Bill Frisell "Quartet", etc..."

"This is what good music is. If anyone says "there's no good music being made nowadays," refer them to this CD."

"This album is a wonderful thing. It's very well made. Since I received it in the mail, I've listened to it repeatedly and it continues to grow and develop (or at least my perception does). There are many complexities in the music that one just doesn't pick up on with the first listen. My favorite song is definitely mary of magdalen. purchase this album. you will not regret it."
