| Details: |
This is an Enhanced CD, which contains both regular audio tracks and multimedia computer files. Personnel: Tuomas Logr?n (vocals, guitar, dobro); Gjermund Larsen (violin, fiddle); Arto Anttila (double bass). Arrangers: Kalle Ankarblom; Tuomas Logr?n; Gjermund Larsen; Ian Stephenson. Despite possessing one of the more unfortunate names in the annals of folk music, the Finnish/Norwegian fiddle ensemble Frigg plays a compelling blend of traditional instrumental Scandinavian folk and more contemporary Americana. The former manifests itself in the atmospheric textures of the bagpipes on "Peltoniemen Hintriikin Surumarssi," while the latter style is most apparent in the virtuoso "Fantomen," with its string-driven whirlwind of sound. The band's family relationship with the legendary folk outfit JPP provides a solid foundation on which to build its musical bridges between old and new worlds. |
