VERY RARE original 1977 Swedish Silence Records 1st PRESS of this great COSMIC ELECTRONIC PROG LP

This one is SERIOUSLY rare and excellent. Quoting E.Asbjornsen: << This duo made a mind absorbing album of floating and pulsating electronic music [...] is another example of "krautrock" made in Sweden, and it's excellent !>> (Scented Gardens of the Mind).

ANNA SJALV TREDJE "TUSSILAGO FANFARA" SWEDEN '77 SILENCE SRS 4646. ANNA SJ?LV TREDJE (also, and commonly, Anna Själv Tredje) is a classic electronic duo from Sweden, with strong influences in the entire Berlin School electronic music adaptation.

 This legendary group consisted of Mikael Bojen and Ingemar Ljunström handling various synthesizers and other keyboards (clavinet and possibly organ), as well as guitars. Seems there's a connection to Cosmic Overdose and Twice a Man, but the latter appears to be Älgarnas Trädgård-related. Let me tell you that this album is completely essential for all who enjoy Berlin School electronic music. It's really too bad that Tussilago Fanfara was only released in Sweden on the Silence label. This album could easily fit on the Brain label in Germany, this kind of electronic music should have been destined for such labels, but that never happened. Great spacy electronic with a minimalist influence and spacy feel that's in the vein of Schulze or Tangerine Dream, with minimalist patterns that get one thinking of Terry Riley or Galactic Explorers' Epitaph For Venus. When the guitar playing appears, it reminds me of Ash Ra Tempel, or that is, trying to imagine if Gilbert Gandil of Pulsar replaced Manuel Göttsching, since the guitar playing (apparently Mikael Bojen) has that same sustained fuzz style that Gilbert Gandil did on those Pulsar albums. I really love the fact the mid '70s still had room for great electronic music, like Tangerine Dream and Schulze demonstrated, as well as Tim Blake's two albums for EGG, Crystal Machine and Blake's New Jerusalem, and of course, Anna Själv Tredje's Tussilago Fanfara. The combination of the music, the style and the electronic influence/presence can be diversified, well enough, into different movements and appointments. A Swedish krautrock extension or impulse isn't far (but neither ever fundamental); the recordings and the precision of this cosmic electronic band are vastly in the auspices of some mid-classic experiences from Klaus SCHULZE, either from the soft touches of Moondawn or the entirely accurate Mirage minimal findings. The tiny "modern" experiments lead to something between ambient winds, cosmic surround and hypnosis of sound-fragments. Minimalism is a trademark improvised in ubiquitous expressions, reaching the post-influence of Peter Michael HAMEL, REICH or RILEY, but also some acoustic and synth-dynamic characteristics of meditation (most commonly, GLASS being appointed). Between there is the occupied synthesizing attitude, there's the sound-unveiling, there is an organ profusion or some small guitar works, made by Bojen in a tranquil and atomic way. The concept and contrast of sequencing resembles some late 70s ASHRA glance as well. Lastly (and really the last to be considered), TANGERINE DREAM's resembling electronic tempo, the space jams offbeats of the music evolve to a distant distinction. The Tussilago Fanfara project is prolific, deep but not hollow, intrinsic but never too mindless, exploring electronic music of the classic School, but also of the new-performance experimentalism. The album is a "mindphase" for aficionados, yet stands out just as much as an electronic gift of sound and surround.

Electronic space prog / krautrock in the vein of Klaus Schulze, Ashra and Tangerine Dream. Extremely hard to find and one of the rarest on the great and highly collectable Silence Records label

A CLASSIC....DON'T MISS IT!

CONDITION

Vinyl: EX

(This rare original Silence Records first pressing retains its full gloss and sheen. A few very fine and superficial light wispy marks can be seen under strong light. Some sporadic surface static can occasionally be detected but overall the album plays excellently throughout offering a lovely performance of this awesome 70's cosmic electronic space psych monster)

Labels: Mint-

( The "custom" labels are great, very clean and unmarked, with virtually no spindle signs)

LP Sleeve: VG++

(The unlaminated matt black cover shows the inevitable mild ringwear (please see pictures) some small nearly invisible touch ups black on black and general light wear on the edges. Please note that almost all copies have the same flaws since the cover is very fragile. All spine text is fully legible and clear. This is still a very good plus near excellent example of this fragile sleeve, with No cut-out holes, No writing, No stickers. A STRONG VG++)

Line-up / Musicians

Ingemar Ljungström: Keyboards, synthesizers
Mikael Bojen: Keyboards, Synthesizers, electric guitar

NOTES

Very rare, one of the most difficult albums to find on the great Silence label (Trad, Gras & Stenar, Bo Hansson, Handgjort, Kebnekajse, Flasket Brinner a.o). Only the third copy that I've ever seen. Musically Anna Sjalv Tredje veers into Kraut-territory, which is quite unique in the Swedish underground. Scented Gardens of the Mind says "This duo made a mind-absorbing album of floating and pulsating electronic music and is a rare example of "krautrock" made in Sweden and it's excellent".
