The third release via Old Captain's sub-label Faust. Two cult recordings from 1998/1999 of pure Nordic beauty for the first time on CD! Icy frostbitten portals of the early years are now once again open! Jääportit is a Finnish dark ambient / neoclassical project centered around Tuomas M. Mäkelä and has been active since 1997. 'Halki lumisen metsän' material is minimalist alike Mortiis, ranging from deep, cloud-like drones to almost oppressive militaristic percussion and harmonies, while 'Kauan Koskematon' is majestic yet mournful, a forever milestone in dungeon synth winter epic tradition of the 1990s'. Calm and tranquil yet bewitching and mesmerizing winter ambient. A 6-panel gloss-laminated Digipak with original images including the front cover by Aslak Tolonen (Nest) limited to 300 copies. First 50 copies come with an exclusive front cover A3 folded poster.

Nice! Best of Jääportit by far. After these he started to make the music way too "bombastic" and it ruined the frozen dungeon synth sound.
