Progressive neo-folk band, TENHI, will release a 3-CD collection of rare and unreleased material, Folk Aesthetic 1996-2006, on August 6, 2007 via Prophecy Productions. It will be packaged as a noble digibook with 76 page booklet, liner notes and special artwork and drawings by TENHI mainman Tyko Saarikko. Here is more from the band:

“We just finished mastering the music and completing the cover artwork of the 10th year celebration compilation album called Tenhi Folk Aesthetic 1996-2006. It includes over three hours of rare and unreleased material from the years 1996-2006. The idea is to make a ‘book-like’ format with some info about each song, lyrics and translations and more. I also drew the artwork specially for it. More news posted soon about the release date.”
