The fifth album from this band from Norway.
The band was a quartet with a lineup of glockenspiel, percussion, drums, bass, acoustic guitars, jews harp, moog, mellotron, grand piano, spinet, keyboards, flute and vocals.
The band was helped out by some guests who added electric guitar, violin, vocals and a children choir.
This album is one of the reasons I was a bit vary of reviewing their albums... I cannot stand childen vocals and children music. This is what we get on this album.
Take a bit Norwegian folk music, jazz and Daevid Allen solo albums and his more weird Gong albums. That is at best we get here. At worst, children rhymes and some electronic children music.
The vocals are good. The sound of children choir pretty horrible, although I am sure someone likes them too.
The music is pretty naive and ditto for the Norwegian lyrics.
This is a borderline turkey but it is only saved by the jazz and the Daevid Allen like weirdness. Hence, it is a half decent album. It is not an album I will ever listen to again.
