Despite possessing one of the more unfortunate names in the annals of folk music, the Finnish/Norwegian fiddle ensemble Frigg plays a compelling blend of traditional instrumental Scandinavian folk and more contemporary Americana. The former manifests itself in the atmospheric textures of the bagpipes on "Peltoniemen Hintriikin Surumarssi," while the latter style is most apparent in the virtuoso "Fantomen," with its string-driven whirlwind of sound. The band's family relationship with the legendary folk outfit JPP provides a solid foundation on which to build its musical bridges between old and new worlds.

The opening tune, 'Joikijenkka,' a North American-sounding romp played with conservatory -sharp precision reminiscent of Vancouver's the Bills."

Oasis album
 $10.39 
This is an Enhanced audio CD which contains regular audio tracks and multimedia computer files.
During the '90s the new age crowd discovered Hildegard von Bingen, one of the first credited female composers, and gave her work their anemic treatment. Sweden's Garmarna right the balance by presenting the medieval mistress of song in a 21st century light, not always soft and romantic, but often hard, driven by programmed beats, with Emma Härdelin's eerie voice intoning von Bingen's Latin liturgical lyrics over the top. Conceived for a tour in 1998, this project has taken on a life of its own, something that might be not quite a full Garmarna album, ...

The idea of an album using two hurdy-gurdys -- the ancient cranked fiddles that were called the medieval synthesizers -- seems straightforward enough. But in the hands of Garmarna's Stefan Brisland-Ferner and Hedningarna's Totte Mattsson, it becomes a whole different ball game. They've been performing live together for a few years, but in the studio they decided to make an electronic album that was just ...
| | Vasen Live In Japan CD (2005) With DVD
Oasis album
$13.85
Väsen have been around for well over a decade, refining their sound and producing a series of delightful albums, first for their Swedish home market and then finding a global audience. Just how far they reach now is evident from the fact they recorded this live disc in Japan. The humor in their sound is more evident live, but the delightful interplay between nyckelharpa, fiddle, and guitar is apparent throughout, right from the opener, "Björkbergspolskan." The material largely draws from their last two discs, which is fine -- those albums were two of the best of their lengthy career. There's a playful spirit behind the music on tracks like "Flippen," and the melodies weave beautifully in and out with an almost telepathic communication between the musicians. Add in a DVD of interviews, videos, and performance clips and you have an excellent package that's far more than a live souvenir, but an illustration of what a band can achieve in performance. ~ Chris Nickson

Oasis CD music
$10.89 
As its evocative title suggests, Sahara Lounge is a crossroads of cultural communication and sonic exploration. Its geographical range spans from Morocco and Iran to the U.K. and America, but its guiding principal is to interweave traditional instrumentation and grooves with the tools of modern electronica. Just as electronic music draws freely on disparate sources, the artists on Sahara Lounge often find inspiration on a global level. Lebanese duo Soap Kills layer elements of trip-hop, scratchy dub reggae, and their country's own melodies for their track, "Dub4me," while Ilhan Ersahin's breezy, sultry "Fly" incorporates Turkish lyrics, jazz guitar soloing, and a backdrop of chillout beats. Soap Kills vocalist Yasmine Hamdan returns for a collaboration with Absolut Orchestra's Toufic Farroukh -- "Lili S'en Fout" features hushed French vocals over a wash of Arabic melody, synthetic percussion, and Farroukh's ...
| | Jazz Hour With Duke Ellington, Vol. 2: Jump For Joy CD (1996)
Oasis music CDs
$9.75
Releases such as this Jazz Hour CD compilation can drive a Duke Ellington collector nuts. Generic liner notes fail to identify the source of these recordings, though Tom Lord's The Jazz Discography indicates that many, if not all, of the selections were taped in the 1960s during various rehearsal sessions in the studio, and one or more concerts. ...
