Ignis Fatuus (Remaster)

by White Willow

supported by

Tony Alumkal I loved the retro-70s charm when the album first came out. And I still love it today. It's great to hear the album in 24 bit hi res for the first time.

Carsten Pieper As a prog fan you have to love this album for the simple fact, that it was kickstarting the Norwegian prog renaissance (in the mid-90s and still going on strong). Mostly "gentle" prog of the pastoral/symphonic/folky kind. Great melodies , arrangements, musicianship!

Special thanks to Karisma Records for the special deal and re-issuing this remastered version!

Poesy Rider Un voyage dans le temps, et finalement hors du temps, avec quelques étapes qui ne sont pas sans rappeler parfois Blackmore's night... méditatif, intimiste et néanmoins grandiose...Délicieusement passéiste ! Favorite track: John Dee's Lament.

olli007 A classic of modern prog! Favorite track: Cryptomenysis.

pinchard J'ai bien reçu ce disque,merci,et c'est toujours un bonheur de l'écouter.Merci..PF

about

Ignis Fatuus is the classic debut album from Norwegian prog legends White Willow. Originally released in the Spring of 1995, the album took the global progressive rock scene by storm. Fan letters started coming in from all over the world, and wonderful reviews from American and European music magazines kept flowing out of their fax machine. 5000 copies were quickly sold and soon the band was on a plane to California to perform at the 1995 Los Angeles Progfest, along with acts like Spock’s Beard, Ars Nova and Landberk.

The songs on the album range from almost pure pastoral folk-rock, as on Snowfall and Till He Arrives, via out-and-out prog rock, as on John Dee’s Lament and Cryptomenysis (which featured a guest appearance from Ved Buens Ende’s Carl Michael Eide) to unusual experiments like the renaissance-inspired hymn Song, based on Christina Rossetti’s poem. The band didn’t at the time consider themselves a prog-rock band, more a folk-rock band that dabbled in symphonic arrangements. Nevertheless, the album has become a classic for prog connoisseurs.

This re-release was meticulously remastered by the band’s own Jacob Holm-Lupo, and is presented with the classic original cover art, for the first time on vinyl. This is the first in a series of six White Willow re-releases on Karisma Records.

This might be the least folky of the Wobbler releases and I wasn't sure about it at all. After a few listens however I'm loving the inventiveness and the endless melodies, all driven along by Kristian Hultgren's wonderful percussive bass. PartTimeZombie

This is full-blown Norwegian prog rock - do I need to say more? The boss Andreas Wettergreen Strømman Prestmo is a member of "Wobbler", and that's probably enough to know in order to get interested. Sven B. Schreiber (sbs)

Dette er et fantastisk verk hvor det synges på norsk! Det siste setter en spiss på det hele. Lydbildet er åpent og dynamisk og man føler seg hensatt til 1970-tallets progressive rock. Dette ble oppdaget helt tilfeldig da jeg skulle sette igang dagens dont på hjemmekontoret og hadde litt arbeidsvegring og sveipa innom Bandcamp. Så ble hjemmekontoret utsatt litt til da jeg så klart måtte høre hele greia..😉. Takk for en flott musikalsk opplevelse en vinterdag i januar 2024. Storvik
