2 stars Watch out for old retro prog approaching, for fans, ultra fans and lovers of the atmospheres of times gone by!

1.Invokasjon intro or not vintage sounds which smell like the sounds of yesteryear, yes you see you still have to be hooked, hooked, in short with teeth, otherwise the shift will act 2.Sankeren shows the extent of their sound field; folk rock borders on psyche with this Nordic voice; a time to get used to it, a break time with a variation ranging from ZAPPA to ÄNGLAGÅRD, from CAMEL to KING CRIMSON and GENESIS for the warm and languorous keyboards, a jazzy touch sprinkled on top and Kristian's characteristic pad which dates back; yes, a good retro prog like I thought I wouldn't listen to anymore; the air calms down before returning to the initial rhythm, complex and hilarious 3.Salighet I acoustic guitar on a Håkon flute that does almost everything; a wandering of sounds from the 70's, vocals from the 60's, the regression goes far, very far; it's beautiful without a doubt, the choirs are warm, the Karisma sound like my favorite group GENESIS did on 'Trespass'; yes, 50 years ago, but now why regress so far and so wildly? The sounds from before are not enough? The guitar solo is cute, invites you to daydream; be careful not to undress and dance naked to the very special folk rhythm 4.Salighet II sequel I don't know but the atmosphere goes on the same muddy paths of dark lands; the voice gives way to the flute for a bucolic break, more psyche than symphonic except for this too short organ finale which is quickly replaced by sound effects and this sax, not baritone, no, in short this traditional instrument

5.Ura continues, a rock guitar with a flute showing the direction of the path; rock takes over folk before the oboe, sampled or not, makes the air vibrate; jazzy-rock in the distance before returning to a round, delicate symphonic 6.Danseritualer fra Jordsjø - Prosesjon & Ekstase for the acoustic interlude given the 3 mins; otherwise the tune invites you even more to travel with this crystalline guitar, surfing on the great old ones who simply made music that they loved; the best title so far 7.Stjernestigen solemn piano and instrumentation eyeing a confusing, OLDFIELD; the voice must be practiced so as not to be thrown off track; the guitar solo halfway through is a stunning, symphonic bombast; it leads to a melodic decrescendo giving way to the captivating piano

Scandinavian symphonic, combining several genres and recreating a new breed of 'symphonism'; ÄNGLAGÅRD was to be their bedside band, today it would be TUSMØRKE; during the 90s I found it beautiful and used!
