The one and only album from this band from Norway.
The band was a quintet with a lineup of drums, percussion, bass, guitars, keyboards, flute and vocals.
This band from the far north of Norway, from beyond the Arctic Cirle, were formed in 1971 and recorded this album in 1974 before they split. The album was released as an archive album by Colours in 1991 and then Norske Album Klassikere in 2022. The latter one in two versions, the original and an alternative version.
The members of this band later played in far better known bands as Akasha, Høst, Flax and also had pretty successful solo careers.
The music is a mix of folk rock, psych rock and eclectic prog. The music is pretty complex throughout. It is also a bit heavy too.
What shines through is the complexity of the music. The references here is therefore Aunt Mary, Genesis and Gracious.
The big minus about this album is the lenght.... It is twenty minutes long and that is far too short. Hence get the 2022 version as it has two different versions of the same album and a couple of extra tracks.
The original album is a decent album. It is a bit of a hidden gem too and I have noted that the 2022 version is pretty popular.
