A very good compilation of melofies that have worn well. One hears that this is still the young composer/musician, however, the music is atmospheric and would be of interest also to those who look for mood music.

Chris Hinze composed the music for the Teleac TV-series on archeology ‘Digging for the Past’, performed by his Combination with famous musicians like John Lee (bass), Gerry Brown (drums), Louis van Dijk (piano) and Roger Cooke (bass) as guest musicians. On request of a large number of viewers an album was compiled. Source of inspiration was one of the subjects of these programs: the mysterious death of ‘the girl from Windeby’, whose body was found after centuries of conservation in the swamps. A ritual offering? We will never know. Certain is that it inspired Chris Hinze to create this beautiful music.
