'århus:nu' is a book and cd that was released in April of 2004. It is a snapshot of the music scene in Denmark's second-largest city: Aarhus. It contains interviews with bands, labels and concert organizers, has great photos of them and is written in Danish.
The cd is the audible companion to the book and contains music from all the artists in the book as well as others (why not fill up the entire cd with good music when there was space for it?).
While the book might not make much sense to anyone not able to read Danish the cd most certainly will. The music speaks for itself. Aarhus has plenty of great music.
