More info: From the RootsWorld review: Løvlid, Aw, and Nystrøm seek to take in the world and breathe it back; and the lyrics to this amazing record are presenting in sixteen different languages ("Norwegian, Sami, Islandic, English, Faroese, Korean, Hindi, Chinese, French, Danish, Italian, Dutch, Hungarian, German, Tibetan and Swedish," are listed on the CD packaging). Clearly, we cannot ignore such extensive translations, which brings us to the central importance of the lyrics being set to music by the Seven Winds trio: while the music has been composed by the group, the texts are all from Olav H. Hauge, and, on occasion, traditional songs from Mauritania and Senegal... Seven Winds fashions a consistently unique artistic statement around Hauge's poetry that crosses the borders between light and dark. - Lee Blackstone

Please note!
Most 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.
We 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.
