Iditarod
Kleine
Kleine was released in 2002 on tape only. Though it was recorded over the course of five years, this is probably their most coherent output - the record starts with mostly acoustic parts, mixed with more psychedelic parts all into a whole. Towards the end, the more direct songs merge perfectly with the tape and drone experiments. On this record, Karin Wagner and Jeffrey Alexander (Secret Eye Records/Black Forest/Black Sea) get support from an impressive list of guest musicians: Alasdair Galbraith on violin, B'eirth (In Gowan Ring) on harp, Margie Wienk (Fern Knight) on cello and Matt Everett (Bonnie 'Prince' Billy) on violin. Kleine came out around the same time as their second CD "The ghost the elf the cat and the angel", but shows a more experimental and personal side of Iditarod. Therefore, its probably the best hidden gem the band has ever put out. This CD re-release comes in a unique cardboard packaging, based on the original artwork.
