The 2nd cd of Tummel, which marked the transformation of the band from a more traditional klezmer band to a path-breaking, innovative world music band.
Nominated for "Best World music cd 2005" by Swedish Association of Independent Music producers.
By Belgian magazine "New Folk Sounds"editor Eelco Schilder acclaimed one of the six best world music cds of 2004.
"Tummel is a stout sextet of Swedish musicians who excel in playing modern Klezmer/Balkan/Oriental music... and more. [...] The group possesses a keen musical sensibility, [...] All but three of the 13 Transit songs were penned by group members, which demonstrate the band's first class songwriting as well and orchestration talents. From the explosive opening track, "Single Hair Replacement" by guitarist Tobias Allvin to the brooding, "Est Schmrez in Hanoi" by woodwind player Pär Moberg, to the group's arrangement of "Tsiganovs Hands", with its Middle Eastern rhythms, the entire album serves as testament to this talented band's multiform musicality. Especially considering this is only Tummel's second album, the band has already amassed a maturity - not to mention being a hothouse of creativity - that is noteworthy. Highly recommended -- no, make that mandatory -- for any fan of the modern Klezmer or Balkan genres. Robert Kaye, Global Rhytm Magazine, USA, dec-04)
