Description:
'Hardangervidda is one of Ildjarn’s most underrated albums. This magnificent ambient 2LP shows a great contrast when compared to the band’s previous works. Since Landscapes is the only other ambient album by the band, I will use it for comparison. So unlike the Landscapes double CDs, Hardangervidda is a lot less minimalist. The sound is very clean and quite unique. I have not heard any other similar ambient albums which explain the high rank I gave. Another major difference between this 2LP and albums such as Landscapes, Handangervidda was far from improvised. Vidar and Nidhogg took 3 years to do it and although it was only released in 2002, it was finished in 1997. Although some people are still unsure if the drums are real or not on the metal albums (they are real drums), the percussion on Hardangervidda clearly is programmed. I usually highly prefer real drums to synthetic ones but on this album they fit very well. If anyone still questions Ildjarn’s abilities to write more complex and clean music, no album should convince them of the opposite better than this one. I consider Hardangervidda as Ildjarn’s best album and as one of my all time favorite music albums in general, all music genres included. Go buy it now, it’s well worth it even for those who don’t like other Ildjarn albums.'

General Shipping Information:
I usually ship within 24 hours of payment.
I only use the United States Postal Service - http://www.usps.com
The busiest times for the Post Office are during the Thanksgiving/Christmas holidays, which are between 20 November to 25 December. Expect delays if you choose Media Mail.
For LPs, I use cardboard mailers from Bags Unlimited. Unsealed vinyl is taken out of the jacket before mailing, to avoid split seams.
CDs are mailed in bubble mailers.
Packaging costs are included in the shipping costs.
Priority mail packaging materials are free, so there's no extra packaging cost included. LPs, though, still include the packaging costs - there aren't any Priority Mail boxes that will safely hold an LP.

For US buyers:
I offer two shipping choices : First Class / Media Mail and Priority Mail.
All US buyers automatically get Delivery Confirmation, which is included in the shipping cost. PayPal will email you the Confirmation Number. You should get the number within 3 days of payment. If you haven't received the email, check your Spam folder.
The only items that qualify for Media Mail are: Books, Music (vinyl, CD, tape), Video Games, and Computer Software, I cannot send T-shirts by Media Mail.
If you purchase multiple items, Media Mail is the cheapest way to go, but it's also the slowest. If you live in Washington, Oregon, or California, you should see the package within 1 week. For other states, it should take about 7-14 days, but can take up to 30 days to arrive.

For Non-US buyers:
The USPS offers Airmail only.
Any package over 4 pounds must be sent at the more expensive Priority Mail International Rate.
Delivery time is generally 5-14 business days. Times may vary - the USPS has no control over delivery date once the package has left their hands.
You are responsible for all customs taxes and duties.
There are only 2 ways to get a tracking number.
1. Priority Mail International
2. Registered Mail.
And keep in mind that the Post Office generally updates the tracking number when it receives the item, and when it delivers the item. Once the package leaves the hands of the USPS, the tracking number most likely won't get updated at all. If the package gets lost, the USPS can trace it if the package was sent by Registered Mail.
