Sometimes music becomes a gust of fresh air in a bleak, barren land, thus you feel that something special has been told through the notes of an album. That´s the case with "Windzeit". Forseti is the god of justice and deliverance in Norse mythology, and somehow this album conveys that peace onto the music portrayed on it. Forseti plays neofolk, but I don´t give a damn about labels and rather concentrate on describing the albums instead. That´s what reviews are made for, aren´t they? Well, this is mellow music, conducted by whispering, solemn verses, based on acoustic guitars that weave chords that build the body of the songs. Violin and flute add the dreamy touch to complete the magnificence. Songs are mostly slow and moody, but there are some passages where the mood tends to soar a bit until reaching dimensions more of the cheerful type. This is music to be listened in the waits for sleep, walking through a forest, etc. you know, those ambiences when you want to leave mundane things aside and fly for a while, hand in hand with music. Forseti try to approach nature to man, in my humble opinion with good results. Songs to make you meditate, songs that mumble winds through your ear... Andreas Ritter is the main man behind the project and some people as Uwe Nolte from German masters Orplid helps him in some parts. Also Douglas from mythic neofolk purveyors Death In June sings the only track that is sung in Shakespeare´s tongue (the rest are in German), the last one “Black Jena”, more kind of a poem with music than a song itself, but anyway very correct and with a strong atmosphere. The production is clean, the layout is appealing, so don´t miss this album if you wish to experience beautiful songs inspired by nature and played with hands, heart and soul.
