Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

Endresen has been a presence on the contemporary European circuit for over a decade, and made two fine albums for ECM at the opening of the 1990s, but it is only since her extensive tours and latter-day CDs with Bugge Wesseltoft that she has been noticed in Britain. This is all to the good, for she has a uniquely expressive, dark-toned alto voice, a fine gift for words (she spent many years in London and has an entirely idiomatic grasp of English) and a persuasive way with a melody. Much of this new disc is taken up with the spontaneous painting of huge electronic soundscapes, her voice moving in and around nagging keyboard themes and banks of synthesised colour and rhythm. Elsewhere, there are nagging guitar loops that continually point up her telling vocals. A cutting-edge vocal album and one of the records of the year. --Keith Shadwick

5.0 out of 5 stars Northern Star, 20 Nov 2000
By A Customer
Sisdel Endresen is an established jazz artist in her native Norway, as well as in Scandinavia. She has been recording since the early eighties, first as part of a band, the Jon Eberson Group, and, since 1989, under her own name. After releasing a few records on the prestigious German jazz label ECM, she releases her first album for Jazzland Records.

Undertow is a journey through ice and snow territory. Reminiscent of the frozen grounds of the North, her music is down to the essential, with very few rhythmic inputs, little recognisable musical instruments, and that incredible voice. Part Nina Simone, part Marianne Faithful, part Sade, Sisdel Endresen dispenses her beautifully crafted lyrics with parsimony. The comparison with her compatriot Geir Jenssen, better known as Biosphere, is unavoidable. Same intensity, same austerity, same enchanting atmospheres. Winter Wind is a whirlwind of quietude; Undertow is magnificent and pure; You Cover Time is tribal. Endresen wrote her album in the purest jazz tradition, by improvising with her band. This gives the songs a definitive free spirit and an absolute precision.

The maturity coming out of Undertow is unmatched, and the talent of Sisdel Endresen is yet to be discovered by most. This is your chance.
