Kultivator |
Barndomens Stigar |
Barndomens Stigar |
1981 |
Ad Perpetuam Memoriam |
|
Kultivator's primary influence sounds to be National Health. The bass player
plays in a style similar to Janick Top giving the music a slight Magma
flair. This is apparently Kultivator's only release.

Samla Mammas Manna |
Way Down a Rabbit Hole |
Klossa knapitatet |
1974 |
Silence Records |
|
This is their 3rd release. When I first got this a couple of months ago,
I did not like it. But, now I am not sure what I was thinking, because
after playing it this week, I love it!

Kaipa |
Skogspromenad |
Kaipa |
1975 |
Musea |
|
This is Kaipa's first of 3 releases. Although not represented on this song,
Kaipa does have vocals.

Bjorn J:son Lindh |
El Henna |
Cous Cous |
1972 |
WEA |
|
Bjorn has a gazillion solo albums, collaborations and guest appearances that
I will not even try to quantify where this one fits in, except to say that
this one does seem to be pretty early in his career. You would not guess that,
though, based on the well-crafted songs on this album. Jan Schaffer and
Kenny Hakansson both play guitar on this album. This is a very nice album.

Trettioariga Kriget |
Kaledoniska Orogenesen |
Trettioariga Kriget |
1974 |
(bootleg?) |
|
This is TK's first album. Their first 2 albums are the Hybris and Epilog of
the 70's. This is some of the best guitar driven prog that I can think of.
It is hard-rock that is 100% prog. The bass playing is remarkable as well.

Kenny Hakansson |
Pellikvalsen - efter Lejsme Per |
Springlekar och Ganglatar |
1978 |
Silence Records |
|
Kenny, a founding member of Kebnekajse, on his solo albums, plays folk-music
with overdubbed electric guitars. The tone of the guitar, is not unlike
Mike Oldfield's fuzz guitar sound.

Atlas |
Bla Vardag |
Bla Vardag |
1979 |
Ad Perpetuam Memoriam |
|
Atlas is all instrumental. They appear to have only 2 releases, the other being
_Mosaik_ which has not been released on CD.
