JORD SESSIONS

To quote the liner notes "When "Jord" came out early in 2017, it was a different time for us. This was to date our fourth release and what would be our first proper album. Up until that point, we only sold our 50 home-made tapes to friends and a few die-hard collectors, but "Jord" got us a bigger audience, also outside Norway. The mixing was done badly by Hakon and also with the intent of only a tape release, so we thought it deserved a refreshed look and include the other song we recorded at the same weekend summer 2016. Therefore the "Jord Sessions. There's a new organ track on "Abstraksjoner..." and some bells and percussion on "Se Valinors Lamper", otherwise all tracks remain as the original."

When "Jord" came out I became an instant fan of this band, they reminded me probably more of SINKADUS than anyone else and I love that band. And while it blew me away I always felt there was this amateurish quality about it, a naivety if you will about it. Well this new re-mix has changed that completely. This sounds so much richer with a bounce to the sound you could say. It was originally released on cassette then cd the following year. Lets just say my original "Jord" copy is going in a box somewhere and "Jord Sessions" is my new "Jord".

I'm just so glad I picked this up, it made my week last week spinning these familiar tunes that sound so much better. That over 13 minute bonus track of course fits right in and is one of the better songs on here. I just think if your like me and value this band highly you need to get your "Jord" replaced with this one. I've discussed the actual music in my "Jord" review so I won't rehash that.
