Oofotr II
''Oofotr II'' (released 2001 in Norway by Grappa Music, Heilo catalog - HCD 7169) is a Norwegian studioalbum by the band Oofotr performing traditional music from Ofoten like World Ambient in a Nordic Traditional style. Review ''Oofotr II'' is the second album from this acclaimed Norwegian jazz trio. The project of presenting electronic versions of traditional music from Ofoten in Nordland, is resilient and deserve attention.

The term ambient world is printed on the cover, and it may so be, but the album consists of a series of fine tunes anyway. Reception The review by the Norwegian newspaper Dagbladet awarded the album dice 4. Personnel ;Standard lineup *Ernst ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
