Nordic Waves by Lucette Bourdin
Lucette's 8th release on Dark Duck Records is a massive environmental exploration as only Lucette could bring. Here we have the 4 seasons presented in aural form. Each piece evokes the seasons and presents the listener with an aural weather forecast, be it rain, snow or merely the smell of the fallen leaves or the look of the shimmering sky, this 4 CD set of material is an all-encompassing awe-inspiring magnificent vision.
Tracks 1-7 are taken from "Winter"
Tracks 8-16 are taken from "Spring"
Tracks 17-24 are taken from "Summer"
Tracks 25-32 are taken from "Autumn"
