Die Knödel was an austrian ensemble, formed by Christof Dienz, active the period 1992 - 2000. Basis of their music is the rich classical heritage and the traditional folk past of their country. Die Knödel's post-modern approach involves also jazz, mild avant garde, world folk influences, cinematic atmosphere, and overall offers an acoustic avant-art fusion exiting to romantic landscapes, imaginary dancehalls, fairytale lands, and yet images of contemporary life often humorously viewed.

I have only one record by them, plus a couple with them and Amy Denio. I'm very happy to hear your selection of Die Knodel. I really like your taste in music. I have downloaded so, so much - thank you! Maybe you would like to listen to a mix of music by Lou Harrison that I made?
