Faroes Islands
Please note!
Most of our CDs have been imported from Europe or Asia. They are not all shrink-wrapped, and I am not going to con you by wrapping them here just to make you think they have been sterilized in America. I guarantee that the CDs and the contents are all brand new and in perfect condition. Whenever I can, I use recycled shipping materials. They may not look as pretty on the outside, but they save money and keep the trash dumps a little bit emptier.
Thanks- Cliff, cdRoots

Koder pĺ snor - Valravn
$18.99
(cdRoots# wp-valravn09)
The title ("Codes on a string") is inspired by the science of 'string theory' - that all forces and particles in the universe are connected.This second album by the band features original compositions based on tradition. Faroese singer Anna Katrin Egilstrřđ still leads with her melancholic and longing Nordic tone as a starting point, and the band (from Denmark, Swizterland and Ecuador, using violins, violas, hurdy-gurdy, percussion and keyboards) offers power and space in fair measure to support her vision and sound.

Reptilica Polaris - Afenginn
$16.99
(cdRoots# tutl-087)
the band says: "In the dark uniform western hemisphere, where rationality and stress seems to be the new religion, a small distant light is now appearing. Deeply rooted in the faith and tradition of sincere musical virtuosity and sheer madness, the new release from the acrobatic Danish deviates Afenginn, must challenge the stagnate state of every part-time depressed citizen of modern society. In a challenging unpretentious head-on collision with the conformity of well polished musical mainstream, this one-of-a-kind polyethnic contrastic Balkan-Scandinavian music blend will make every honest delirium-connoisseur go into ruptures. The music is best defined as Bela Bartok drinking schnappses of melancholic nordic klezmer with Mike Patton." 'Nuff said.
