It's 2000. Check out their previous album "Amorous Anathema". It rules even more )

[Hannu Mutanen]

Hannu Mutanen! How is that Tenhi? I still haven't seen it anywhere around here.

Winter-frost: It is really something even if it is merely a MCD of 17 minutes' length. The folky feeling has actually jumped back in time in terms of feeling; it reminds me more of modern instruments playing shamanistic chants rather than the Ulver-esque stuff they had on "Kauan." Naturally the shamanistic feeling is only a connotation within my head, but the CD really delivers a more meditational, flowing feeling than "Kauan", whereas the latter was more like so-called 'mood music.'
