Hard one to star, due to the nature of this being a) essentially a mix tape, almost a sampler, of various artists and backgrounds, and b) I see the idea behind it is to explore an idea, like exploring a city. There may be bits you like and don't like, but really it's about the fact you're experiencing something unique, which exists. So it took me a while, and I went away and came back, and enjoyed some parts more than others. Which explains the 3 stars. But I love the idea, and on the whole, the *mix* of content and styles and ideas is more important, in a way, and thought-provoking, and has potential.

I particularly enjoyed reading about Scandinavian elves more than I thought u would. I would have liked to have seen more mention of Shinto Kami in there - a lot of the ideas here didn't get close to the idea of location-based spiritism as Shinto does. Other pieces you just have to be in the right mood for.

I'll be hanging on to this though, and lots of bookmarks left in place to refer back to.… (lisätietoja)
