Jordsjø is a prog band from Oslo, Norway inspired by old horror movies, German 70s synth music, Swedish prog, fantasy novels and Norwegian nature. They released three cassettes before releasing their first "proper" album "Jord" in March this year. This 2CD release is a collection of all the songs from these three earlier cassette releases: "Jordsjø", "Jordsjø II" and the split release with Breidablik, "Songs from the Northern Wasteland". This 2CD set contains plenty of nods to older (especially Scandinavian) prog. There's an underlying theme of alienation, roots and dreams - with an organic and dynamic sound which gives associations to 70s prog, with traces of electronic music and folk. Plenty of flute, guitars and a vast array of vintage synths - resulting in a warm and vintage sound, while still sounding fresh and interesting.
