In this band"s long career they have been important catalysts in the Scandinavian folk revival movement but, until this album, they were close to unknown outside of Sweden. This collection brings all stages of the band"s existence into sharp focus from their most recent experiments to their 1982 roots. Some of the best musicians the folk scene has had to offer are included: Mats Eden, master fiddler; Tina Johansson, innovative percussionist; Hållbus Totte Mattson on lutes and guitars. Rickard Åström electronics, Lena Willemark, vocalist; and Bill McChesney and Jonas Simonson helped create a reed sound that has become widely imitated. --Louis Gibson
