  Very nice! I wish there was a companion disk that had the classic tunes in their original form. :) I really like the cover art as well.

  This idea of making mellow electronic versions of classic songs really deserves a medal of honor. Just love this album.

  Like the title suggests, Hermigervill is covering icelandic popular songs on this delightful album.
  
  Who doesn't remember classic tunes like "Glugginn", "Í bláum skugga" and "Þorparinn".
  
  The actual fun thing about the album is that he only uses old school analog synths to do the job - and a drum machine of course. This approach creates a new life for these songs, an afterlife if I may, and brings out a cool factor. It's like elevator music - only better.
