Editorial Reviews

Rob Weir, Sing Out! Magazine, Oct 1998
a pastiche of Celtic and Scandinavian stylings, which makes for unpredictable twists in the arrangements

Product Description
So the record's a mix of stuff," Lief offers. "I sing one song, 'Jeg Lagde Meg Sa Silde', in my native Norwegian language. It's an old 16th century ballad I've known for many years, which I rearranged for this recording. It's a diversity of ethnic roots really, because we've got everything from a Scottish march, to Irish reels, dance tunes. We've got a Norwegian song, a British murder ballad done acappella, and then we've got some contemporary songs, so it's definitely a cross-section."

4.0 out of 5 stars A bit uneven, but good., June 21, 1998
By A Customer
Well, this is pretty much stripped-down acoustic Tempest, still a good thing if you like Lief Sorbye's voice. A couple of the songs didn't do much for me. I expected to like "Jeg Lagde Meg Sa Silde" more than I did, and "Bold John Barleycorn" isn't quite up to the standard that other recordings of the tune have set. On the other hand, "Beeswing" is very poignant, and "What Put The Blood" - a wholly vocal track - is powerful. Recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Notes on Celtic moods, June 4, 1998
The CD Caliban is a collection of traditional tunes and original but traditional sounding offerings from two of the members of the band Tempest. Having seen these guys several times in San Francisco and other places I can say that the album is a true representation of their live sound. There is nothing like listening to the live performance of music that grew from thousands of years of cultural swirling, but this album is a close substitute. Reread Jung, choose your favorite Celtic archetype and travel with this CD.
