Baltic Crossing – The Tune Machine (Go’)
"This is an album like none other you’ve ever heard before. You’ll think I don’t know you well enough to say that, but I’m pretty confident, nevertheless. Five musicians – two Finns, two Danes and one Brit – use the instruments and music of Scandinavia to, as far as I can tell, have about the best possible time you 
can ever think of having. The musicians’ spirit and their ability is infectious, poignant, and invigorating. Sometimes, especially in the world of folk music, we forget that irony and sarcasm don’t have to be the only serious emotions left to us. Case in point, this disc is an absolute, unbridled joy." — Glen Herbert, www.singout.org
