5 out of 5 stars Nordic Fire & Brimstone - Outstanding!.......2003-02-27

A fantastic live recording. Lien keeps the melodic fire of tunes like "Old Larry" and "Wackidoo" (here the opening of the title track) white-hot while substantially improving both songs, twisting the former into something longer and more interesting than the original and dispensing with the noodling prog-rock flourishes that marred the studio version of the latter.

Rasch is the other standout talent here, although all the musicians form an organic, sympathetic collaboration for this wonderful violinist.

2 out of 5 stars BORING!.......2002-10-17

I am an enthusiastic "Lienista" and own a number of her recordings, but this struck me as a lukewarm rehash of her studio work. I found very little new, performing live didn't seem to spark anyone to daring musicianship or creativity, and the recording's miking/ambience gave me the feeling the audience was barely there and barely awake for the most part. In all, I found it dutiful and "workmanlike." Skip this one and grab up Baba Yaga, Stone Chair (AL playing as part of Bukkene Bruse), and Prisme -- real Nordic soul music! (This one goes to the used CD store down the street.)
