This is a compilation with various artists for people with varied tastes. There are twelve artists/bands on this sampler, all from Norway and Sweden. Some of this can be described as hard music but the core is not. In fact, Millenium One starts with a dance track by Acts. Next come the vocal group Albin singing in Swedish only. But this is just several samples taken from an Albin album taped together. The first heavy contribution comes from rock band BIG with a pretty good poppy rocksound. A lot softer is former hardrock band Charizma. Also heavy on this disc are Narnia (melodic metal from the Long Live The King album), Fueler's heavy poprock and the britpop of Stereofish. For those who like the mellow material too, soul act New Born Soul is interesting. Also worth checking are the blues of Himlaväsen en Emilh. This sampler will please the pop fans especially. There are some great tunes on this disc proving that the Scandinavian countries are a cradle of creativity and talent.
