HiRez Poll JIENAT - MIRA [Blu-Ray Audio/SACD]

I'm bumping this thread, because I am sure a lot of you missed it. Check this one out if you dare!

Just in case anyone would like to compare various formats, here's a FLAC version of "Adama", one of the tracks on the disc:

Hmm. Strange. I am unable to reproduce the problem. Try once more or from a different reader?

I tried to download the file, and I see that this link is broken:

http://www.jienat.com/08_adama.flac

When I download that file, I get a file of "0" size.

Same thing with the "graphics" link: http://www.jienat.com/jienat_mira_graphics.zip I get a file of 0 size.

Arrghh.. I'm going to check right now. Thanks for letting me know!

Now it should be OK! Sorry for the delay.

Yep... working now. I've been listening to the samples on you website and I am intrigued to say the least! Very impressive!

I am looking forward to hearing this track on my surround system. I suspect an order will be placed in the near future.

I'll keep the overseas postage ready and in a dry place just in case!

Yeah, the genre classification is a strange animal. The Finnish/Sámi artist Wimme and RinneRadio had their own solution by naming one release File Under: Finnish Ambient Techno Chant

Interesting to see that there are others here knowing about Joik music - while Rinneradio without Wimme is more ambient jazz or however you may call it. Wimme without Rinneradio on the other hand can be very challanging.

I can imagine that Joik can be a nice experience in 5.1. now the disc is now on my wish list. Thanks again to QQ for the inspiration.

Hello group!

Here's a completely irrevant –but well-intended– Norwegian New Year's greeting.
It features the Stanley saw (naturally) and twelve cloned brothers:

Wishing you all a good 2013!

I'm half Norwegian from my dad's side of the family, therefore have an interest in things Scandinavian

I first heard a form of Joik music on a Northside sampler CD that prompted me to buy an early Wimme album, which might be categorized as a sort of experimental Electro-Joik. This music reminds somewhat of Wimme, but more playful (and quite a lot more hummable, too).

The audio is excellent and the surround really puts you in the middle of the soundscape. Very nice! A solid '9' from me.

For anyone who has yet to discover this SACD/Blu-ray combo, this YouTube video is a good sampler. From the jungle tribes of Norway come an album that even features a track for dogs (starts at 2:38).
