Radioshow on Sweden, part 3 : Great 70's Jam, freakout and "improvisational" psych. * Silence Algarnas Tradgard : "Framtiden är ett svävande skepp, förankrat i forntiden" (S,rec.1971)***°° Tr.1, "Two hours over two blue mountains with a cuckoo on each side, of the hours..that is" 14 min Tr.2, "There is a Time for everything, there is a time when even time will meet" 7 min Tr.6, "Rings of Saturn" 8 min 29 Bonus track 9, "The Mirrors of Gabriel" (rec. live 1972) 9 min 38 Weird psychedelic folk item with soundcollages, medieval themes, semi-out-of- tune going psychedelia etc. Unique in its kind. The second official album (released only recently) is psychedelica styled. I don't like that one so much. After that some group members formed Twice a Man, a not so interesting pop group: http://home.tiscali.se/musicworld/twice-a-man.html Info AT : http://progweed.echoechoplus.com/reviews/algarnas/algarnas-band.html & http://www.progg.se/band.asp?ID=204&skiva=245&cover=245 See jukebox with this release at http://www.silence.se/default_eng.htm (Silence records is the most important label for 70's prog).

One is bad recorded. This one is well recorded, with great improvisations. The group existed between 1969-1975. A second official album, called "Delayed" was published only a few years back. The style is completely different. I personally prefer the original sound of the group. * Xotic Mind The Entheogens : the gnostic mass (S,1995)***' Tr.1, "The Dance of the priestess" ->8 min Fine sitar-psych folk track. Good psych folk jam album.

Tr.5, "Comanche Spring" 15 min Bonus track 6, "Horgalaten" (live) -> 4 min Good folkrock-psych and psych group. I especially like these tracks, because they are more progressive. The album after this is much more folkrock. The bonus track is shortened because of sound quality.

It fits a bit with Kebnekaise & Harvester in general but that's it. * Silence Harvester : Hemat (S, 1970)*** Tr.2, "Kristallen den Fina" ->5 min Swedish info : http://www.silence.se/artister/harvester.htm Review : http://members.chello.se/t.m.gartz/hemforce.htm Repetitive, hypnotic jam psych track. Harvester, like International Harvester was a side project of (for me not so Incredible from what I heard so far) jam group Trad, Gras och Stenar : http://www.tgs.nu/ Info : http://www.progg.se/band.asp?ID=97&skiva=511 * Silence Fläsket Brinner (S,1971)****° Tr.2, "Tysta Finskan" 14 min Tr.5, "Bosset Lat" (Bo Hansson) 6 min Tr.8, "Musik Fran Liljevalchs" 7 min One of the best improvised or jammed psych records for me from Sweden. With keyboard player Bo Hansson. Fatastic stuff ! Must also be interesting to Canterbury lovers.

Fläsket Brinner : The Swedish Recordings 1970-1975 (S,1975)***°° CD1 Tr.1, "Master beautiful" 9 min CD1, Tr.2, "Bosses Låt" 12 min CD1, Tr.3, "Gunnars Dilemma" & "Tysta Finskan".. 10 min (last track shortened because of time limitation and faded out) (Didn't have airplay time for the next essential tracks : Tr.4, "Telegram Från En Bombad By" 5 min CD 2, Tr.1 :"Jätten Feeling" 8 min CD 4, Tr.2, "Grasse" 9 min Tr.5 "La Resa Dei Conti" 6 min) 4CD box of Flasket Brinner, with great jams. A shame I didn't have more airplay time to play more. Second CD has slightly Canterbury styled tracks too, like my chosen track. Except for one or two lesser tracks the collection is very good. Recommended ! With Tull like flute, great sax and Canterbury like psych.
