(Post-Rock, Dark Ambient, Experimental) Origami Arktika - Fantomlust - 2001, MP3 , 192 kbps

This CD was recorded live in a church in Poland although the band hail from Norway. It was made using only acoustic instruments. This is quite spectacular as some electronic artist would kill for some of the sounds on here.
To start things off is 'Innstev' which is some unaccompanied folk style vocals. This drifts into 'Savn' which is some relaxing minimalistic ambience with the occasional guitar twanging here and there. 'Rode Gullseng' is a return to the folk singing for a while although it turns into more dark ambience. It rumbles in the background for a while and I almost forget it was there. As this is a live CD you get to hear doors closing and the occasional cough. Things start to suddenly erupt when it gets to 'Ny Stein / Trank; Vill'. Beginning with some unnerving howling, it builds into some menacing screeching and hard percussion. It's certainly a contrast to what came before. More folk singing follows then some subtle music followed by some weird rumbles backed up by flute, but anything which follows the chaotic noise from before is a bit of an anti-climax.
