The music is based on a fine blend acoustic instruments and electronic sounds. The keyboards and the deep-buzzing bass form
dense textures that are offset by the warm, drawn-out sounds of Andreas Ritter's accordion and the swirling, soaring violin.
Oliver's grave vocals in Czech (on 'Az ja pojedu', a catchy czech infant song) and English add a nice finishing touch to
these four well-crafted songs that, listened together, establish a subtle yet strong feeling of tranquillity.
Although I have a personal preference for 'Follow the fair Sun' and 'The three Ravens', all four songs on offer on 'Nidar'
have their qualities and leave me with a pleasant impression. If 'Jordansfrost' shows the same musical maturity as this
release, then it's going to be a long wait until next Spring...
