But what if it concerns a CD, are you allowed to do it then? Each memory connected to to the eleven songs Oliver selected for this album. Each memory illustrated with period pictures and some beautiful illustrations, making this album something really personal. But is is not only personal for Oliver Satyr.
I have my own memories attached to some of the songs as well. It is still one of my all time favourite folk albums. Oliver and Kati share the same type of silky soft voice. Nourishing; caressing; poetic; warm. I am so glad one of the songs Kati and Oliver recorded together, The Road , has found its way on Munin.
In my humble opinion, one of the most beautiful folk songs ever recorded. Soft, poetic and tender in every word sung, every guitar note played, it caresses my ears and calms my mind every single time I hear it.
They showcase Oliver Satyr as the poetic minstrel he is. In Oliver made another album born out of love, this time with his current partner Gina Wetzel. It, too, was a combination of a book and an album. The album, called Feengold , was a limited edition hardcover fairy tale book beautifully illustrated by Gina, containing an audio CD with songs, spoken fairy tales and poems, all spoken by Oliver himself.
The first two songs are in the same style as Folk Noir. Oliver has that magical ability to create poetry, not only with his voice but also with the music he plays. His arrangements are both subtle and calming, but also rich, warm and full, forming a blanket of sound that give his beautiful voice all the room it needs.
