Still enjoying this and still think it's one of the best garage/psych debutes ever. My first post - on the German/Danish original - was almost two years ago. Now it's time for a reminder - here showing the French version. Same tracking, but with other cover design and silghtly different audio - this is brighter with less emphasis on bass which makes it a little wider and clearer. Good listening. (Exposé below is mostly a copy of the earlier post.) Danish psych group started 1967 and still at it. Never close to an international break-through, but with cult following all over the world and much appreciated among other artists. There has been many changes in style and appearence through the years yet their music is always distinguishable by the the singer Anisette's special vocal technique. Belonging to a well known Danish artist family she started recording childrens songs together with her sister Ilse-Marie as 7 y.o. and continued as solo artist from age eleven up to group was formed, including the sister and two brothers. And it seems she stayed with the idiom and vocalisation of the kid songs - the voice sounds as from a grumpy or annoyed little girl. Many have tried to copy her style since - the most successful being Björk, who also acknowledged Anisette as a big inspiration. This was their debute album. All songs written by her brothers Thomas and Anders and the style is contemporary San Francisco psych, reminding of Jefferson Airplane and the loose atmosphere of the "Baxter" album. It's very well played with adventurous psych guitars and nice organ with Anisette's voice as icing on the cake. This was the first I heard from them and it remains my favorite of all they done. Recorded on four channels it's close and intimate with tons of presence. Premiere press in Germany for domestic and Scandinavian markets. First French had label as shown here and laminated flip/back cover. (SCÄ*)(FÄV*)(MFÄX*) (SÄWÖ*)
