VARIOUS ARTISTS
The Rough Guide To The Music Of Scandinavia
World Music Network RGNET1282CD (2012)

Focusing on wide-ranging rather than traditional Nordic artists, WMN’s second Scandinavia compilation, again by Phillip Page, is an unusual choice of largely instrumental, chunky-ambient-tending music, but like its 2000 predecessor, which featured five of the same artists, it over-represents Finland, with 7 of the 17 tracks plus Finland’s Kardemimmit’s 2009 Kaisla as the bonus CD.
