"Nordan transforms nearly forgotten medieval balladry into glorious
living tradition. It chills like the northern winds after which it was named,
while whispering a thousand mysteries. Nordan itself is all over some parchement
chart that Vikings might once have employed. Möller's arrangements transform tunes
originally played by fishermen, shepherds, and coutry fiddlers into mini-suites that
maintain the songs' natural spirit with droning fiddles and bagpipes, while pushing
them into jazzier territory." SPIN Magazine
