It's been five years since Canadian guitarist Jeff Healey lost his life to cancer at the age of 41. Released to commemorate the anniversary of his passing, this box set is a lovingly assembled compilation of rare archive material featuring three concerts recorded and filmed in Germany over an eleven year period – 1989, 1995 and 2000. It's a riveting collection that shines a light on the inimitable man and his no frills - maximum skills, bluesy rock & roll band, tracing their evolution from fresh faced pups to seasoned pros. With a booklet full of tasty anecdotes from family and fellow musicians, this is the first posthumous release to have been officially endorsed by his estate. All in all, a fitting tribute to a virtuoso musician who mesmerised and entertained with one of the most bafflingly unorthodox guitar styles ever seen.

You could be forgiven for thinking The Flaming Lips had finally lost it completely. This is a band that, with 2001’s ‘Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots’, pretty much perfected pure pop music as an artistic format, but ever since they seem to have lost their way. Diversions back into the psychedelic experimentation of their early years have come across as too placid and unfocused to be consistently rewarding, whereas collaborative efforts like the ‘Heady Fwends’ record last year have mostly ended up on the wrong side of the brilliant/goddamn awful line.

Although much of the name Wardruna have gleaned for themselves comes from the participation of notorious former Gorgoroth/current God Seed vocalist Gaahl, it takes but one listen to ‘Yggdrasil’ to realise that there is something inherent in the music of this band that should lend it to appeal to fans of dark music of all stripes. There is nothing remotely “heavy” or “metal” about this release, of course. Wardruna are, in the simplest possible terms, a traditional Nordic folk project.
