3.0 out of 5 stars Pleasant, but not essential, even for fans, October 11, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Hedningarna (Audio CD)

This is Hedningarna's first album, which has, for a long time, not been available in the U.S. Folks who've become familiar with Hedningarna from outstanding folk-rock explorations like _Kaksi_ or their recent _Karelia Visa_ may be quite surprised by the band's first disk. Here, the band is purely an instrumental trio-- the two haunting female vocalists aren't present (nor are any other vocalists). Also, there are few (if any?) rock influences here at all. It's still a pleasant Scandinavian folk album, mind you, but it's not as original, as full-sounding, or as essential as the band's later folk-rock efforts.

This isn't Hedningarna's best--it is fun to listen too, but I found it a little repetitious. If you want to experience this group, try for something a little newer.

I found this album after I already knew the others. I actually like it best -- it's a similar feel, but stripped down to acoustic instruments and no vocals. A very trance-like quality. And simply beautiful.
