Kebnekajse — Kebnekajse II 1973 Sweden, Progressive Folk Rock

Описание: Kebnekajse — Kebnekajse II 1973 (Sweden, Progressive-Folk Rock)

Traditional Swedish folk-prog with some very fresh and unique song writing. KEBNEKAISE mix a nice array of instruments to work each song to a different mood and atmosphere. You can clearly hear the folk roots, but it is the psych/prog branches which makes this such a memorable album for this music lover. In some ways the sound is not unlike mid period PINK FLOYD and FOCUS really. Instruments used throughout include guitar, violin, congas, drums, bass and a nice assortment of other gadgets. Songs are generally quite long and instrumental and are given lots of space to unwind and get into some pretty warped folk-prog interludes. Overall this is a picture perfect album with real beauty and charm and is clearly one of my personal fav's from the lovely Swedish 70's. I would say 100% essential.This album contains highlights such as "Rättvikarnas gånglåt" where Turid Lundqvist beautiful voice can be heard, "Horgalåten", "Skänklåt från Rättvik" and "Barkbrödlåten". Silence has also added a bonus tracks called "Horgalåten" which was recorded live by a fan, Timo Toiviainen, at a concert in Mikkälä, Finland.

This is without doubt one of the better folk rock albums ever from Sweden.
