About Me

“Starflowers”:“one of ECM’s most appealing explorations of seemingly disparate concepts that ultimately feel completely at home with each other.”John Kelman – Allaboutjazz.comThe way this apparently indigestible mélange comes together demonstrates why ECM - celebrating its thousandth release this year - is so highly regarded. Declaiming about stars and forests over skittering cymbals and brooding horns, the Norwegian singer creates a mood that is timeless and mysterious, yet distinctively modern - redolent of Joni Mitchell at her jazziest or Björk at her oddest.Telegraph co.uk - Mark HudsonSong after song, the quintet that Langeland put together designed an original and vital sonorous world. …Giuseppe Montesano, Diario della settimanaThere are jewels everywhere on this arresting example of ego-free music-making. One of the albums of this or any other year.Ray Comiskey, Irish Times (CD Choice: Jazz)mspmb allowScriptAccess="never" src="http://lads.myspace.com/slides/photoslider.swf?u=161343 001" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="445" height="230"
