This is one of the highlights of this brilliant eilean series. I am not a great fan of spoken word releases, but this is atmospheric and gripping. The DVD is a worthy addition to the package. Thanks so much Mathias for another fantastic release! No fave track, as they are all engaging and well wrought!! Rinchen Choesang

If you ever visit The Netherlands in late autumn, make sure to visit our unique province Friesland which has it's own language. That's what you hear on this atmospheric record. It's the sound of Friesland in the autumn while cellist Joana Guerra contributes some Portugese melancholia. It all works wonders. Robert Bloemkolk
