One of the few albums I bought back in 2003, not a masterpiece, but certainly worth the attention. There's this old Koyote vibe present in some of the tunes, and I love old, melodic, twisted and weird Koyote releases. Mexican Jesus rules.

In my opinion, fractal animations are even more fascinating:

John Bauer, the swedish painter who made that painting, is one of my favourite artists. That particular painting was used in a swedish childrens book called Bland tomtar och troll (in english it's called Swedish Folk Tales), he was also the editor for that book. In Sweden the book is considered to be a classic. Bauer has managed to capture the magic feeling of the swedish forests like no other artist.

This compilation is among the first and as such it's a valued collectors item and the fact that the tracklist and the actual tracks are great and the print is small makes the price so high.
Even though Transdimensional might be better (I don't think they can be compared), it's not as important as this compilation.
The album title might need some interpretation, in swedish "runkmeditation" means masturbation meditation, I'm not sure what to make of perstantra though, any ideas?
Native State records is the most exciting new label right now! No cliched overused ethnic samples or ethnic dub, but rather deep, warm, moving and beautiful music of excellent quality.
