This is ok........2006-01-25

First of all, let me say that I am a huge fan of Scandanavian folk music, renaissance music, medieval music, etc... especially Finnish music because I am Finnish. Honestly I was expecting something a little more traditional sounding, and I was disappointed when I heard this. It's ok, but nothing really grabbed me. I think the main reason I don't like this is the lack of energy this album puts out. Some of these songs are about as exciting as a baked potato. The complete absence of almost any drums or percussion only adds to the drudgery. Furthermore, in trying to "update" the traditional folk sounds of Scandanavia, some of the songs come off sounding like American country music, which I am in no way fond of at all. I wouldn't recommend this album to people out for a traditional sound, but it's not that bad, just not what I was expecting.

Impressed by Frigg.......2005-11-01

I listened to a few of the samples of FRIGG on Amazon.com, and I was impressed enough to buy the CD. Once I got home from the post office with it, I immediately placed in my CD player, and OMGs!!!!!!!!!!! This is TRULY a great CD. It's along the same sound of Vasen, but yet a cut above. While listening to the CD, I checked out the cover art, only to find a serpentine Rune drawing coupled with Heathen rock art. WOW!!! According to the CD, Frigg represents a combination of the "elements of Finnish and Norwegian traditions with touches of American roots music." Whatever this is, and what ever it represents, IT WORKS!!!! Vasen, who?
