TIDINGS

I think this is one of their best albums and the change of lineup has not affected the quality in any way, and quite possibly has enhanced their characteristic folky sound. I would STRONGLY disagree with the first reviewer that it sounds samey. Sadly I delayed buying this in the light of that review. So I wanted to add my thoughts to reflect a fairer perspective on this lovely album. Firstly, it definitely has enough variation to keep me interested! Its full of gorgeous melodies, masterful musicianship and the female vocals are showcased wonderfully well on the beautiful ballad "Tidings". If you have a special place in your heart for the good old fashioned qualities of beauty, warm melody, romance and gentleness - then please don't delay buying TIDINGS! Our friends from Norway (who named themselves after a variety of potato - how romantic!) are definitely worth digging around for! Ifyou have trouble finding it in shops go to www.mindawn.com for samples & purchase.
