Press Reviews "Calm, tranquil and soothing, yet bewitching and somewhat mesmerizing ambient is what have with Jääportit. You know, when I'm listening to this MC, I immediately fancy myself being alone in a small house within the wintry forest; sitting near fireplace, having some whisky, with old, staunch dog lying near the legs of mine. This is not the kind of stuff to chill you, but it's still extremely atmospheric. In contrast to most contemporary so-called "dark ambient" projects, the individual behind Jääportit contrived to spawn all pro-done creation. He's really good in creating arrangements, even though all compositions sound quite similar to each other; however, this kind of music is not the one where you have to be diverse. Besides aforesaid, it's not monotonous at all, as it often happens with young Tolkien-fans eager to create suchlike stuff. Well-produced, coming with a nice looking artwork and layout, this cassette should be yours. At least, this is one of the best non-metal works I've heard lately (especially on demo level)." -Herr Stalhammar
