                ██▓   and Norberg's bright title track, recalls Paul       ▓██
                ██▓   McCandless' more lyrical work with Oregon, although  ▓██
                ██▓   the harmonic world of Skaren is far more direct.     ▓██
                ██▓   Still, Knutsson and Norberg are skilled players who  ▓██
                ██▓   subtly stretch the boundaries of their tradition.    ▓██
                ██▓                                                        ▓██
                ██▓   Kraja adds depth and a timeless quality that, at     ▓██
                ██▓   times, is reminiscent of Jan Garbarek's work with    ▓██
                ██▓   the Hilliard Ensemble on Officium (ECM, 1994); but   ▓██
                ██▓   with musical references from a folk rather than      ▓██
                ██▓   classical tradition, there's a levity that           ▓██
                ██▓   contrasts strongly with Officium's more profound     ▓██
                ██▓   gravitas. When Kraja sings a capella, as on the      ▓██
                ██▓   slightly melancholy "Majas Polska," the tranquil     ▓██
                ██▓   yet majestic "Nar jag om morgonen uppstar" and       ▓██
                ██▓   uplifting "Den signade dag," it brings a soft        ▓██
                ██▓   beauty to Skaren, where the four voices' lush        ▓██
                ██▓   warmth augments and juxtaposes with Knutsson's       ▓██
                ██▓   slightly tart tone.                                  ▓██
                ██▓                                                        ▓██
                ██▓   The folkloric Skaren: Norrland III, with its         ▓██
                ██▓   sincere pursuit of the emotional resonance of the    ▓██
                ██▓   simplest melody and an ability to shed light on      ▓██
                ██▓   occasional darkness, may seem an oddity in the ACT   ▓██
                ██▓   catalog. Ultimately, however, it lends the label a   ▓██
                ██▓   limitless stylistic reach that transcends            ▓██
                ██▓   categories to simply find music that touches the     ▓██
                ██▓   head and heart, the body and spirit.                 ▓██
