1982 by 1982
The first album to be recorded by 1982. The trio would go on to record another four albums, and toured all over Europe and Japan for 11 years.
This one was originally released by NORCD on vinyl only. It is now available digitally for the first time.
"A thoroughly compelling debut from a singularly unique combination of acoustic instruments."
ALL ABOUT JAZZ (US)
"The... emotional depth that can be found in the music... means you can hear it many times, without it ever sounding the same. A very good album. 4/5."
ORKESTERJOURNALEN (SE)
"Apeland is a discovery on the harmonium, and work almost as glue, mixing rhythmic punches together alongside Skarbø's drums, not to mention some beautiful sound colours that blend with Økland's fiddles… A record worth checking out. 5/6."
