Since completing 1994’s ‘Gumppet Holvot (The Wolves Howl)’, Mari Boine Persen fulfilled their contract with EMI Records and where under no obligation to release another album. This album has some very good songs like Gumppet Holvot (The Wolves Howl) and Ale Sat (No More). This disc has all of the essential Mari Boine Persen classics. Oh yes, this album gets Array out of Array
Lyrics of Ale Sat (No More) are precise and evocative. Some call Cuovgi Liekkas (Radiant Warmth) from Leahkastin (Unfolding) as a quiet invitation of an artist to sit and listen. Strong, powerful vocals of Mari Boine Persen in Ahccai (To My Father) are very impressive. Maid Aiggot Muinna Eallin (What Do You Want Life ) is the funkiest number on the album. Mielahisvuohta (Lunacy Lunacy) - A nice song. Vocal harmonies in this track are great and song structure is just right. Gulan Du (Hearing You) is one of the most beautiful songs ever to grace my stereo. Vuolgge Mu Mielde Bassiv Arrai (Come With Me To The Sacred Mountain) is a excellent song and it grows on you. This track is nearly perfect if not perfect. Da Lean Mun (Here I Am) - This one has a powerful beat and a good melody.
