Bjørn Berge is from Sveio (Norway), not far from me.

Blackwood is recorded in Oslo at this studio: http://www.propellermastering.com/

It is one of the best recordings i have heard

I also know about Bjørn Berge (have spoken to him sometimes)

However. Only about 5 of the songs on this album happen to have good sound. The others are compressed. Some are very compressed.
