Algarnas Tradgard - Framtiden ar ett svavande skepp, forankrat i forntiden - Silence Records - 1972 - Sweden - LP
This is a swedish pressing from the leading Swedish underground psych, prog label from the seventies : Silence Records. From the Nurse With Wound list (NWW list) this one must be one of the hardest Swedish LP to find from the 70's and from the NWW list. I really hate to let this one go! This one is so hard to find that even Steve Stapelton from NWW didn't have a copy of it when he published the original NWW list. This one only appears in the extented version of the NWW list.
Mixture of Amon Duul II, Ash Ra Tempel with Scandinavian folk songs,... It totally delivers as it has such a distinctive sound! Can described as Scandinavian Krautrock album, though it wouldn't be very accurate.
Here is a description of this LP by Mark Gaines from progweed.com :
For those versed in Swedish musical history Algarnas Tradgard (Garden of the Elks), is the Holy Grail of psychedelic enchantment, the mother load of all mother loads, holding court to the same company as Ash Ra Tempel's first self titled effort. This is an album that transcends time as we know it, transporting the listener to an unknown far distant past; a bridge to the infinite edge of the universe. If one can imagine a conglomeration of Ash Ra Tempel’s guitar based induced trance out, Tangerine Dreams electronic hypnotic supremacy, and Gong’s organically gathered mayhem, throwing in a touch of chant, cellos and sound affects and you have a perfectly good excuse to lock the doors, turn up the sound and travel upstream to fields of mind expanding effervescence, evoking ancient excavations into angelic worlds of ancestors long since departed for pastures of plenty.
Yes indeedy, friends this is the REAL DEAL when it comes to classic and timeless recordings. All seven recorded moments are meant to be experienced as a whole concept, fragments tied together ever so delicately. For the most part, fully instrumental segments give way to chant, violin, sitar, guitar, and various instruments that the hippie world was intent on seeking out and experimenting with in 1971. This is the stuff legends are made from, world perceptions altered, leaving grown men weeping in its wake.
The Swedish are an amazing group of people giving us classics that endure recorded history, left for future generations of musical observers to find and to treasure. I dare you to play this all the way through and tell me it's only 58 minutes long. Every time I listen I swear it's at least double that length. In 2001 their long lost second recording, Delayed was finally released by Silence. We'll save that review for next time but for now, don't let this one pass you up in your lifetime! - Mark Gaines [July 2002]
