Feel the winds on the ridges,
See the whirls in the meadows.
The ice-capped reed announce that the air is colder.
I feel the strength of my heart quiver inside me,
But I have no cure for the laughter in your eyes.
Amazon: The atmospheric, melancholy, somewhat medieval soundscapes of Bel Canto (Italian for “beautiful song”) mix an essentially synth-based, chamber-rock sound with a wide range of orchestral and folk instruments and have been compared to the Cocteau Twins. The group hails from Norway and consists of ethereal vocalist Anneli Marian Drecker, plus Nils Johansen and Geir Jenssen. The group claims to draw its inspiration from powerful energy fields, including those of the female and the earth’s gravitational pull; additionally, their compositions sometimes draw on world music and the ambient experiments of Brian Eno.
Me: If you enjoy the music Jason Pitzl-Waters plays on A Darker Shade of Pagan I think you’ll dig this.
(Birds of Passage, Bel Canto)

Awesome! I think Birds of Passage is probably my favorite song off the album, but there’s one or two other cracking...
