New arrival! 59 minutes, 27 seconds

Gjallarhorn
Rimfaxe


I've been amassing CDs lately by Scandinavian folk bands. I'm not entirely convinced I like all the music, although much of it evokes a sort of traditional, medieval feel, not unlike Estampie or Faun or some of the other more or less authentic bands that play around in this genre. It might be a little too much on the Loreena McKennitt side of "mystical" medieval-flavored music, though. Which tends to curdle my eardrums.

I'm trying to keep an open mind. Maybe it'll grow on me fully as I get older, and by the time I'm 50 I'll be happy to listen to Enya [shudder].

Also today:

55:08 Feindflug, Feindflug
55:08 Remanence, Apparitions
55:08 VNV Nation, Matter + Form
55:08 :Wumpscut:, Eevil Young Flesh
