"I bought this the other day, and have already listened to it twice. Here is how to tell if you will like it: Have you ever seen them dancing in the traditional Swiss/German costumes and singing those alpine songs and thought it was cool? I did. I thought "That is SOME vocal talent..." So I saw this and bought it. Track 7 is especially brilliant, and the price is right. The way the ladies yodel and skip octaves so easily... it just blows the mind. I played it at work today (in an electronics lab) and at first everyone made these faces like I was a weirdo. After they got over their initial shock and realized that it was OK that this isn't everyday music, they were humming and whistling. Buy this, even if you are just curious. For $7 or whatever, you can't go wrong."

"Edelweiss - a popouri of yodelling and accordian with only a touch of alpenhorn. Not quite as discreet noise-wise as I had expected, as I had intended it to be background music to a video CD I made. In the end I only used three accordian tracks."
