This piece is a rework of Morning from the Peer Gynt suite by Edvard Grieg, in Jogeir's classic style. This is one of Jogeir's earlier MODs from 1991, but is still very distinctive. Obviously I cannot give any points for originality, but the style in which this has been done is excellent. It is a very subtle, well crafted piece which retains the feel of the original whilst adding a whole new twist of its own. Very good technically, what else would you expect from an artist such as Jogier Liljedahl. A couple of the samples seem a little "edgy" at first, but the tune as a whole is still well polished. Clean, clear samples, as you would expect, and a good use of effects without over-use, leads to a complete song of which one listening is not quite enough.
