They have made a great recording with a combination of freely improvised drone music and more straight jazz, It could as
well have been done in Scandinavia. This could have been done by Trygve Seim and Sinikka Langeland, because of the
lyrical saxophone and guitar playing, which may sound like a kantele.
The Swedish traditional Fäbodpsalm Från Näckådalen takes us far into the Swedish forests. Extremely lyrical and nice
saxophone playing and fine guitar accompaniment, which almost sounds like Rune Gustavsson and Arne Domnerus
translated to 2015.
In Bogaerts-composition Ner6ens we get more Scandinavian tones, which is much closer Dala Floda than Ghent
