SHINE DION is a Norwegian male/female duo of Janne HANSEN (English vocals) and his musical partner Per Selor (guitars). A host of guest musicians help out on violin, flute, Mellotron, saxophone, mandolin, keyboards and percussion, creating both mediaeval and Scadinavian folk airs. They play a familar mix inspired by most folk prog monsters of the early 70's as CLANNAD and RENAISSANCE.

"Killandra" is really beautiful ... mostly acoustic, with flute and violin. This is a flawless, almost perfect psychedelic folk rock album, simply one of the best European releases of the past 10 years. "The musical style of the new SHINE DION CD "WYN" blends element from norwegian and celtic folk tunes in a contemporary way, with hints of prog/folk rock. The lyrics are inspired by the norwegian landscape and the tradition of fairy tales". If you like delicate songs and mystic atmospheres, their albums are for you.
