Wimme
Bárru (Northside, US originally Rockadillo, Finland)
14.99

Totally over the top electro-groove music from the northern tier. Wimme is always challenging the limits, and resting comfortably outside of them. This is not for folks seeking authentic sounds or folkie-groovy fusions. Wimme is all high octane edginess. Tellu Turkku (Virkkala ) and Liisa Matveinen provide guest backup vocals, along with a band that includes Jarri Kokkonen on all the programming, keyboards and drum machines, and Matti Wallenius on various acoustic instruments like guitar, baglama, mandolin and ukelele. This enhanced CD includes live video.

The record label rap:
Bárru is Wimme's 4th release, and it is as astonishing as the previous three. Surprises lurk around every corner, as does a constant sense of playfulness. Using electronics, an array of plucked string instruments, various sound effects, and most of all, his astonishing range of sounds, Wimme and his band create a comprehensive and wholly unique listening experience. Hedningarna singers Tellu Turkku and Liisa Matveinen provide guest backup vocals. Enhanced CD includes live video from the 2002 Nordic Roots Festival.

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.
