Jogeir
Liljedahl :
The Wanderer
Year: 1999
Style: Melodic electronic, instrumental
Whole album: [mp3
preview]
Jogeir Liljedahl has for many, many years been one of
the best known and most popular musicians in the instrumental
underground scene of the Amiga and PC demo / music world.
For years, he has been one of the ground-breakers in digital
music and using computers as a compositional tool. But despite
that, one of the best qualities of Jogeir's music is just
how warm, personal, and human his music is, despite the
high-tech digital equipment on which it was conceived and
created.
Although his music has been heard by millions of people
in digital downloadable format for many years, this is his
first CD album release. Some of the songs on the CD are
brand new studio-recordings of some of his biggest hits
from the underground scene, including the super-massive
(!) hit "Guitar Slinger", "Mystified"
and others. These are new, re-arranged versions complete
with session musicians playing live instruments, etc.
Jogeir's Liljedahl's music is very delicately produced
melodic jewels, often mellow and nostalgic - but never boring.
The moods and melodies seem to reach out and touch you,
and this an album that you will want to play again and again.
Listen to the sound clips from the album, and then support
this great musician and his unique talent by buying his
CD!

Reviews for Jogeir Liljedahl "The Wanderer":
-
Jogeir "Noiseless" Liljedahl doesnt make
"noise" like many PC musicians, he composes
music, sublime, edifying music. His song "G-comp"
is one the best melodic guitar pieces to date...This
CD is a MUST buy for any person who uses music as food
for the soul... - Joseph
Salomonsen, Norway

Jogeir is simply amazing! I've been listening to his
MODs for many years, and this CD is a fantastic realization
of his musical talents. It has a very polished sound
and the laid-back attitude that Jogeir is famous for.
If you like demo-scene music you can't pass this up!
This is an awesome CD, I hope Jogeir will make another
one someday... - Fredric

Jogeir has been my favourite Amigascene-musician ever
since I heard "Guitarslinger". It was released
at the demoparty "Rendezvous '93" in Kristiansand,
Norway, and I was head of the arrangement. Of course
"Guitarslinger" won the musiccompetition,
and Jogeir has since then been a favourite. This CD
is really wonderful, with a lot of wonderful tunes.
My personal favourite would have to be "Overture".
Jogeir's ability to compose wonderful melodylines has
really come to it's right on this CD. "The Wanderer"
is recommended to everyone! -

Jogeir is the one and only. Ilisten to him since he
composed the music used for the amiga games such as
Ghouls and ghosts. It' s fantastic!! -

Jogeir Liljedahl's "The Wanderer" has been
amongst my favorite albums since I bought it over two
years ago. Its a gem of an album throughout, so good
in fact that I've been checking back ever since to see
if "Jogeir" has released anymore of his works.
The solid and perfectly executed melodies and lead guitar
work are simply rich and uplifting, its original and
very special,I have found the whole album a pleasure
over an over, great for all moods...good driving album
too!! A one off?...surely there is more, I for one can't
wait! don't miss out...and "nice one"..thanks
Jogeir, man! - Rick Martin,

To put it simply: this CD is amazing. The tracks aren't
just rehashes of Jogeir's old mods with higher quality
sound and a live part here. Rather, the whole album
is a brilliant realization of everything that has always
been good about his music: the technical skills, the
emotional depth, and Jogeir's unmistakable musical personality.
Forget about buying this just because you like scenemusic
because it's far beyond that. No one who has heard this
CD playing on my stereo has a clue what the demo-scene
is and they have all been amazed anyway. It's just awesome
music, man! (And I'd pay twice as much for a second
CD like this... where's Oro Incenso? Not to mention
the title track :)) - Chris,

Jogeir is one of the most talented composeres I've
ever listened to. His very harmonic and sometimes romantic
songs are really worth hearing. Most of my friends,
who say they "don't like computer music" like
it, too! I just can't await more CD releases!

I remember when I first was told; this guy is great.
Guitar slinger was the name of the MOD. Damn! This guy
is good... I wondered about the facts of modern music.
This fellow was at least as good as the folks we heard
on the radio on daily basis. After a while I heard that
he was going to make an album, just like Lizardking
(Gustaf Grefberg). I don´t know if Lizardking
came around but Jogeir seems to have come throuhgt.
Gonna listen to the tunes now... Yep. Not the complete
tune, but I remember the rest. Mmmm. Rememberance...

I listened to Jogeir's music since I owned an AMIGA
2000. It was my favourite ever since, and as I heard
about this CD, I run into every CD-shop in my hometown...
No-one has even heard of Jogeir, nor could order (stupid
guys...), so I applied for a Visa just to be able to
order this CD in the net.
Jogeir has his very own style of music, and this gets
alive on this fabulous CD.

"The Wanderer" must be one of the greatest
CD's an old Amiga geek could ever have - and I was lucky
enough to get one before it sold out, thanks to the
Bjorn Lynne mailing list! This CD will be playing in
my stereo system for a long, long time... it won't get
the time to dust! Absolutely amazing music. I'll hope
Jogeir will have the time and inspiration to make more
good tunes! - Petteri Pyrrö,

"This CD rocks. Somewhat optimistic, the tracks
here are extremely pleasurable to listen to, with great
guitar parts, occasional piano and much electronic fuss.
Jogeir's been good on the Amiga, and he really is awesome
on CD! Quality doesn't suffer either (Tested on Arcam
Alpha 7SE/JMR Twin MK2/Akai AA-R30 with generic interconnects).
Highly recommended." -

It's really something special. You can distinguish
the oldschool sound of the amiga scene... At the same
time it's very fresh, soothing... I can listen to it
for hours non-stop ! - Mahendra

I recognise many of the tracks listed from the Amiga
scene years ago and have just ordered my copy. After
seeing this CD was back in stock I just had to get it
and can't wait until it arrives. Jogeir was and always
will be one of the best Amiga musicians around.. -

I recieved this cd in the usual excellent quick delivery
time yesterday, and was blown away and have not stopped
playing it since. Ilove all the tracks on the cd and
is some of the best music Ihave heard for years. I only
hope that the follow up is available soon. To anyone
who is not sure whether to buy this cd, do it NOW, a
stunning piece of art. -
Nigel Craft, UK

"Absolutely fantastic album... Can't get enought
of this. I'm actually going to do a Audio CD of Ambrosia
musicdisk (with Scorpik also).(It must be somewhere
in scene.org) we have alwais loved his work! Our friend
Jogier must be really someone with a good heart Looking
forward to his next album, wish him all the best."
- Jorge Nunes, Portugal
-
Simply a "must have" for those who wants
to listen to "modern" classical music ! Just
listen and feel! No words can express the mood these
melodies can give ! Thanks Jogeir...I am still waiting
for the second one ;-) -
