Stina Nordenstam & Vangelis - Ask The Mountains

1996) Stina Nordenstam (born Kristina Marianne Nordenstam March 4, 1969 in Stockholm, Sweden) is a Swedish Experimental Pop singer, songwriter and musician.Stina's distinctive, breathy voice led to early comparisons with artists like Rickie Lee Jones and Björk. Her early albums, Memories Of A Colour and And She Closed Her Eyes were significantly jazz-influenced with subtle elements of alternative rock. With 1997's Dynamite she started down a darker, more experimental path - most of the album was filled with over-processed distorted electric guitars and unusual beats, but careful listening revealed her unique songwriting abilities. An album of covers, People Are Strange, followed before she returned in 2001 with This Is Stina Nordenstam, an album with shorter songs and a more pop-like, but still highly distinctive feel; ex-Suede vocalist Brett Anderson featured on two tracks. In 2000 she featured on one track from Danish prog-rockers Mew's second album Half The World Is Watching Me. The same track was later re-recorded for the bands international debut Frengers. Her 2004 album The World Is Saved continues the path set on This Is..., but presents a more realized sound and acknowledges her earlier jazz influences more.In addition to being a musician, Nordenstam is also an accomplished artist in other fields, such as photography and music video directing.Nordenstam is known to be reclusive: She gives very few interviews and she hasn't performed live since the Memories Of A Colour tour. She even alters her appearance using wigs and make-up for album covers and magazines. During the promotion for The World Is Saved, however, she gave more interviews than usual.As of January 2007, www.stinanordenstam.com has reappeared with an image hinting of a forthcoming album.Stina's sister Emma Nordenstam is also a singer and songwriter.___________________ ____________________Evangelos Odysseas Papathanassiou (Greek: Ευάγγελος Οδυσσέας Παπαθανασίου IPA: [evˈaɲɟelos oðiˈseas papaθanaˈsiu]) (var.
