SKU
07-DHC501
Second album by this mostly instrumental and completely excellent Norwegian band after two CDR/demo releases. The line up is keyboards, alto sax, percussion and vocals (Steinar Børve), drums, percussion, keyboards, prepared guitar, balaphone, vocals (Trond Gjellum), electric bass, Chapman stick,acoustic guitar, keyboards (Anders Kristian Kabberød), electric and acoustic guitars, accordion, banjo, vocals (Jarle G. Storløkken), with guest spots by Richard Sinclair (who turns in a typical wonderful, languid vocal on one track), trombone, tuba, flute, vibes, clarinet, bass clarinet, trumpet, synth and French horn! Their music is tuneful avant-progressive rock. One of the best Scandanavian bands around. Be sure to discover them here or elsewhere! "A new CD from the timeless Norwegians, whose music is sometimes reminiscent - but not imitative - of National Health or Miriodor - and similar bands of that era: melodic, with a light but solid ensemble sound, rich, detailed, nuanced and with a style that is still their own. They have come a long way since their last release. For everyone who likes that English type of 70's progressive rock and its more interesting extensions."-Chris Cutler
