From Norway, a really outstanding album of Scandinavian forest prog. I found this a step up from its already great predecessor Nattfiolen. I can't resist when folky melodies are set to twisty harmonies and there's a lot of that. Often low-key compositions with a strong whiff of Grieg, a little Wishbone Ash and as always with this style, a heaping helping of Cathedral's Stained Glass Stories. Flute and other woodwinds figure heavily. Singing is sotto voce.
