Northern Nights

Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
The Scandanavian music on Northern Nights is difficult to characterize: elements of Celtic, folk, Russian, and New Age all flow together for exotic, stunningly beautiful music. With a selection of songs from such premiere artists as Kirsten Bråten Berg and Hedningarna vocalist Kurki-Suonio, the collection radiates a dark, icy melancholy created from gentle guitar, violin, synth, and voice. Every song carries its own unique ambience, but Hege Rimestad's "Krishna's Cousin" typifies the lovely sound found throughout the album. With fretless bass, aching fiddle, deep drums, and floating vocals, "Cousin" rings softly, reminding one of an Icelandic Loreena McKennitt. In contrast, "Hilddá Luohti" has a touch of Asia in its delicate Yungchen Lhamo-esque vocals and gamelan-like sounds. --Karen Karleski

5 out of 5 stars Absolutely Outstanding.......2000-02-26

I purchased this CD after listening to a friends' copy. The music is both relaxing and, at times, uplifting. It can easily change your mood from sadness to happiness, and vice-versa. Although I prefer mainly hard-rock and classical, this cd contains some of the most powerful music I have ever heard. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

5 out of 5 stars A whistling wonder.......2007-01-04

I ordered this cd as inspiration for my African Grey parrot. (no kidding) I adopted him a couple of months ago and his first family taught him some basic tunes. I ask you, how many times do I have to hear the 'wolf whistle'? While he's hopefully absorbing some new, more challenging tunes, I'm enjoying listening to familiar scores whistled, accompanied by a piano.

5 out of 5 stars Terrific Album!.......2002-04-05

Leo Eide will be remembered as one of the greatest whistlers of all time. I cannot recommend this album highly enough.

4 out of 5 stars THIS ALBUM IS THE BENCH MARK FOR ANY WHISTLING ALBUM.......1999-06-08

4 out of 5 stars Good exposure to Nordic Music.......2003-04-19

A lot of people might describe this CD as "mood music" or New Age, which would be enough to send me running in the opposite direction. I prefer to describe it as a good anthology of contemporary Nordic music, reflecting some traditional elements. If you want to relax and bliss out to this CD you should have no problem, but if you enjoy complex, sophisticated music, you also will find this to be a most satisfying CD.

My only quibble is a complete lack of liner notes. However, the CD does provide the various albums that these tracks came from, in case you want to hear more of a particular artist's music. Every track can be found on other CDs.

If you are not familiar with many Nordic artists, then this will be a very useful CD to give you some exposure!

4 out of 5 stars Some haunting tracks........1999-11-06

Some haunting tracks. Spoiled (for me) slightly by some rather extreme vocals.

4 out of 5 stars Lovely, sensual, representative, modern.......1999-09-11

I bought this CD for myself and then I took a long trip to Oslo and Finland and brought it along. We had a birthday party for me in Oslo and it was all guys, just by accident. They were playing this hard-driving electronic music, as guys are prone to do and I said to my sweetie, I can't take it: it's my party, let's put on that Northern Nights CD. So we did and everyone calmed down and started conversing in a civilized manner and they were impressed by this music from their own damn lands and trying to figure out the dialects in the lyrics and so on. What a great experience for me and everyone else, too. The music isn't just traditional; it's modern and beautiful and comes from a place deep in the roots of the landscape and culture

5 out of 5 stars You can feel the aurora in the music.......1999-07-23

Fantastic compilation of Scandinavian Artists music. Melodic and hypnotic. Very tranquil yet musically involving and very interesting to listen to. Try it!!!

5 out of 5 stars Haunting, mysterious,lovely music from Scandinavia.......1999-07-20

I don't know much about the music of Scandinavia, but it has not stopped me from blissing out to this compilation. One of the most consistently beautiful listening experinces I have had with a disc. Heart breakingly lovely vocal and equally mesmerizing instrumental tracks flow together seamlessly. Treat yourself to this record!

      Album Description

      The Northern Lights, joined by friend and fiddle legend Vassar Clements, have released a live recording, "Three August Nights", with Prime CD.

      This gathering of extraordinary players is true to traditional bluegrass roots yet ranges from rock to jazz to classical and everything in between.

      Customer Reviews:

      5 out of 5 stars Outstanding & amazing performances.......2002-08-02

      If you enjoy hot bluegrass, you will find that the tracks on this album are all solid, with only "Dueling Banjos" taking a comedic turn.

      The capacity of the musicians of Northern Light is powerfully displayed. Some of the performances frankly will rot your socks. If you can absorb the string and vocal workout found in "Midnight Moonlight" (assuming an uninhibited environment) without shouting multiple times, somebody should check your pulse and call your next of kin, clergy, etc. "Northern Rail" follows close behind in recuperative powers. Songs like "John Hardy," "Rainmaker," "Dixie Breakdown," "Goodbye Old Pal," and "Kinfolks in Carolina" keep you fed and yet hungry for more. All in all, this CD is a marvelously concocted anti-depressant, a pure tonic. Pass it up and live a life of boredom. It's your choice, after all.
