"Tr Tr (Swedish for wood) found Hedningarna updating their production and sensibility to reflect more contemporary tastes, featuring some edgier, more rock-influenced sounds. The album became their most successful yet, but a slight slickness to the production renders the folk material a shade less immediate than its predecessor, Kaksi. Still, the more aggressive cuts pack a punch." - Steve Huey, All Music Guide

"1989-2003 Its hard to believe that Hedningarna have been around, in different incarnations, for 14 years. But their five albums in that period have yielded a seam of great richness, as this compilation shows. The material from Tr and Kaksi was groundbreaking in its time, mixing Swedish folk, dark ock, and dance beats in a manner none had attempted before. Hippjokk and Karelia Visa took them in other directions (the former notable for being an instrumental disc). Fans will have all the records, of course, but theres something for them on 1989-2003, in the form of two storming new tracks, Suet Ulvo and Vettoi, as well as a Sasha remix of Kruspolska that shows rance and folk dance can blend perfectly well. All bode very well for the future of the group. In many ways, this retrospective highlights just how innovative this band is, whether its the lightly funky Gorrlaus, or the headbanging live track Fulvalsen. But theres more to them than vision. Theyre all superb musicians, a fact thats sometimes hidden under everything else. To call them one of Swedens best bands doesnt do them real justice. Theyre one of the few in the world thinking completely outside the box, and linking past, present, and future in a way that makes real sense." - Chris Nickson, All Music Guide
