Recommended track(s) if you like: Astor Piazzolla

Alec K Redfearn And The Eyesores - "Black Ice (Excerpt #1)" - Full Length = 3:33

The soundtrack to a belly dance from hell, with exotic-sounding, minor-key accordion lines pivoting over a clap-and-stomp beat and ominous bowed bass.

Lars Hollmer - "Vendelvarianter (Excerpt #1)" - full track= 2:34

A repeating, hypnotic electric piano pattern slowly opens out into a rich, acoustic-based arrangement, with bewitching accordion at the forefront. [Tempo: Mid-tempo]

Lars Hollmer - "Tages (Excerpt #1)" - full track= 2:01

Full, rich accordion tones are the main occupants of this track, which moves from a hypnotic, serpentine feel, to a sensual, thrusting, tango-like rhythm. [Tempo: no fixed tempo]

Lars Hollmer - "Nyfin (Excerpt #1)" - full track= 2:23

Atmospheric keyboard chords are splashed dramatically across a track dominated by some of the least accordion-like accordion playing you’re ever likely to hear, sounding something like a hornet’s nest just before some hapless provocateur comes along to disturb it. [Tempo: Down-tempo]

Lars Hollmer - "Boeves Psalm (Live: Heuwiesse 2005) (Excerpt #1)" - full track= 3:26

A solo accordion sketch offers a study in contrasts, with one hand pumping out rapid chordal accompaniment while the other draws long, graceful lines, for a feel somewhere between European folk and classical music. [Tempo: Mid-tempo]

Lars Hollmer - "Inte Quanta (Live: Heuwiesse 2005) (Excerpt #1)" - full track= 3:02

Seemingly inspired by the Cuban folk song “Guantanamera,” as reimagined by an eccentric European accordionist, this track is a skewed, frenetic deconstruction of South American musical tradition. [Tempo: Up-tempo]

Lars Hollmer - "Franska Valsen (Live: Heuwiesse 2005) (Excerpt #1)" - full track= 2:47

A solo accordion offers up a slightly skewed take on a Viennese-style waltz, mixing madcap moments with old-world romance. [Tempo: Mid-tempo]

Lars Hollmer - "Inte Quanta (Live: Gouveia 2005)" - full track= 2:54

Seemingly inspired by the Cuban folk song “Guantanamera,” as reimagined by an eccentric European accordionist, this track is a skewed, frenetic deconstruction of South American musical tradition. [Tempo: Up-tempo]

Lars Hollmer - "Utflytkt Med Damcykel (Live: Gouveia 2005) (Excerpt #1)" - full track= 5:53

Maniacal, rapid-fire accordion riffing makes it sound like the instrument itself is about to either hyperventilate or explode, giving the feeling of a million things happening at once in a mad flurry. [Tempo: Up-tempo]
