Technical Review

oky

Just in case anybody is interested: The VBR MP3s of this album are somewhere between 114 and maybe 150 kbps, in other words, even lower encoding than 160 kbps. That is unusually low and also a little disappointing, considering that you don't get the 12-download-credits-for-the-whole-album-download deal.

Sandwiched between Yugoslavia and Greece, part Christian and part Muslim, Albania is a tiny land with a rich and ancient musical culture. These are fine recordings by A.L. Lloyd of songs, dances, and instrumentals, among them bagpipe, flutes, and lutes. Given the country’s beleaguered history, the vocals include many epic ballads, old and new. – John Storm Roberts
