Time for some musical arctic expedition. Which music that has it's home in the northern regions of our planet gives you goosebumps (mark the double pun  ) ? 

Sorry for the Antarctic antipodes: Vangelis' Antarctica and Jean-Michel Jarre's Oxygene don't fit in this poll. Today we follow the compass: go north, young and not-so-young men and women  .

I'd like to mention Klaus Schulze - "Mirage", subtitled "Eine elektronische Winterlandschaft" ("An electronic winter landscape"). Although there is no "Northern" in the title, there is definitely an arctic feeling to this record.
And of course "Eskimo" by the Residents!!!!

I don't know the Schulze album, but from what I read: it sounds good.

I should have mentioned Eskimo of course! The Residents were totally unique.

When I was 18 or so I went for a winter holiday with a few friends of mine. We had a house all by ourselves. There was a lot of snow. One day we put the speakers of the stereo on the sill of one of the windows so they pointed into the snowy valley, put on "Mirage" at full volume and went for a walk. This was a strange experience, walking through the snow with the eerie sounds of Schulze all around, echoing from the valley. Not to mention that we were under the influence of some chemical substances.

The Hector Zazou album is mostly brilliant, and is definitely my favourite of the options given, but Eskimo by The Residents should have been included as well.

Camel undoubtedly.

Another worth mentioning is Wakeman's "White Rock" - not polar, but winter-ish definitely.
Percussion, sir!

I'd vote for Tangerine Dream's Ultima thule (available on Alpha Centauri as a bonus.
let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword
