Free Music Notes for Nordic Roots: Northside Sampler
Free Music Review: Inexpensive, but excellent
Hit: 5 Stars
This CD (along with the other Nordic Roots samplers) is the best way to find out what is going on in the Scandinavian folk world. And, a very active world it is. From electronica tinged Sami joik to traditional folk to folk rock, it is all here. It would be difficult for anyone who likes music not to find something to like here.There aren't any liner notes to speak of, but this is one of the ways Northside keeps the costs down. Translations and original lyrics (and tour dates - I've seen 4 of the bands on this CD, and they all were wonderful live) are available at Northside's web page, and they are worth looking up.
I think I've bought a total of 8 copies of this CD, to give away to friends. They all enjoyed it, whether they normally listed to Celtic folk, industrial, rock or pop. I also bought a copy for the public library where I used to run the music collection, where it circulated well.
The only problem with this CD is that you'll probably run out and spend a bunch of money getting more CDs of Scandinavian folk.
Nordic Roots: Northside Sampler Poster
In recent years, Northside Records has carved a unique niche as the American home of some of Scandinavia's finest folk and folk-rock artists. This compilation gives you 20 tracks by 15 of the brightest Northern Lights, including the Gothic, almost grind core rock of Hedningarna, winners of a Swedish Grammy for previous efforts, virtuosic fiddling and world percussion from Väsen, culture-clashing Celtic music from Swåp, a British-Swedish quartet, mutant swamp funk from Hoven Droven and the strangely compelling music of Tapani Varis's jews harp. As might be expected from people who spend half the year in frozen darkness, some of the tracks have a deeply melancholy feel, but the playing is always energetic enough to cast off a few rays of sunshine. --j. poetFolk Music CDs
