Nordic Fusion, Experimental, and Jazz
There is no doubt that there is a special creative force that musicians from Northern Europe call on. The music they make very much reflects their environment and their cultural trademarks. The legendary ECM label over the past 50 years has operated with no rules, and has produced recordings that could be labeled as ambient, experimental, avant-garde, jazz, classical, new age, ethnic, folk, and others we are sure.
Below are a list of fantastic recent releases to explore from variety of artists on different labels. All these artists are world class, and the recordings are all available in 24 bit. Links to listen and download are provided for your pleasure. Have fun exploring the Northern European progressive music!
