Any Norwegians out there in Head-Fi Land? - Head-Fi: Covering Headphones, Earphones and Portable Audio

Fixcinater · 04-11-2008, 09:04 AM

I've been hunting for a disc from the Norwegian youth/girls choir ålgård jentekor for the past 5 or so years.

I found the studio that recorded it, but he didn't happen to keep this disc.

It's their first album Clicky! on EB Studio.

Anyone have any tips for finding this? I googled their name in America and called all of the churches that I could find mentioned in their tour(s) of the USA back in 2000/2002, which is when I saw them at my church (St. Luke's in Madison, WI) and I bought their CD, which had a fantastic recording of Antonin Dvorak's "Going Home" or "My Home" on it, and absolutely splendid organ work. No luck, even having all of the librarians at each church check their stock. San Diego library system shows nothing.

I miss this album terribly after it was stolen (along with 1400 other CDs out of my truck in Visalia, CA) back in 2004 and have come up empty-handed thus far. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

I have done some research, and there is little information, but I managed to get the phone number to (what I believe is) their producer and choir master, so I have sent her a sms, explained the situation, and asked if she can help me/you in some way, with a copy of this disc.

I'll post back when I get a reply.

Fantastic! I suppose I'd have better luck if I could read/write the language.

Thanks very much!

Another Norwegian chiming in.
But seems like I am too late and that my fellow 'nor_spoon' are working on it...

Thank you krmathis, hopefully this album is the end-all be-all reference disc that I remember it to be.

Bump for possible update/member remembrance.

I never did get any reply to the SMS I sent. I could try once more, and I'll do some more research. If other Norwegians think they can help in some way or another, feel free to contribute. This recording have to be out there somewhere...

If I had a guitar with grain as beautiful as your avatar's, I would probably forget about a thread on Head-Fi too! Stunning! That's an Ernie Ball MM, correct?

I'm grateful that you have done any research at all, and if I do indeed find a copy of it somehow, if anyone would be interested, I'd like to send those that have helped a copy as a "Thank you". This may break some laws. Hmm.

Found the webpage for the organist on the record. I wrote to her, so hope we'll have some better luck this time.

Thank you. It is a John Suhr Standard. He sure knows how to make guitars right! It has a Basswood body with Quilt Maple Top in Fireburst. The neck is Maple with Brazilian Rose. I like it a lot!
