Ruphus - Flying Colours (1978)

The fifth album from this band from Norway.

The band was a quintet with a lineup of drums, percussion, bass, guitars, piano, organ, synths, moog, clarinet and vocals.

A guest added violin on one track.

The band returned with the same musicians and more or less the same type of music they introduced on the previous album, the 1977 album Inner Voice.

That means laidback jazz and fusion with a lot of funk too. 

Sylvie Lillegaard's vocals is almost perfect for this type of music. They are also very good.

There is a lot of interesting details in the music and these forty-two minutes never really gets boring. The best song is The Rivulet who also introduce some riveting, captivating violins. 

The overall quality is good to very good. This band is now pretty close to being my favourite Norwegian band now.
