The third album from this band from Norway.
The band was a trio with a lineup of drums, maracas, bass, guitars, sitar, banjo, piano, mellotron and vocals.
They had help from some guests who provided theremin, vibraphone, organ, electronics, strings, synths, piano and vocals.
If my thirty years old memory serves me right, this album broke the band in Germany where they got a good fanbase. The album also sold well in Norway and Scandinavia.
Which is a bit strange as the music on this album is pretty eclectic. It is also a double album.
The double album kicks in at ninetynine minutes.
The first disc contains grungy garage psych rock and it is strangely melodic. It is also weird. The band actually created a new genre called psychonaut on this album.
The second disc is more of a spaced out krautrock album.
Both discs are interesting. It is far from what is my normal fare of music in this blog. I have actually never heard anything like this before. Then again, that was the challenge of diving into this band and their many albums. It is my intention to review all their albums and this album is a pretty good album.
This album is recommended to those who want to expand their minds, without using illegal drugs.
