This album is the first Danish prog record (or record of anykind from that country!) which I have heard, and it's really a very good album. Though the opener "Banjocul" is quite unneccesary intro without anything interesting happening in it, the following "Mountain Music part 1" really shows the band's talent and their style, that being artistic bluesy hard rock of the early 70's with many kind of details and influences in their sound, creating an unique and personal record. Layers of acoustic guitars soften the quiet parts, which contrast the more faster and heavier parts, creating nice tensions to the songs. Compositions are also quite sophisticated, and the majority of the music is controlled stuff: Lot's of surprising rhythm changes an arrangements for larger amount of instruments. All this is also nicely contrasted with moments of free jamming, and the music sounds free, relaxed and powerful. In the first song's guitar work I'm hearing some similarities in the playing of THE WHO's Peter Townshed style, aggressive rock'n'roll riffs with manic rhythming and roaring sound. The heaviness of this music could be compared to early 70's DEEP PURPLE, only that these guys are much more personal and their music is much more artistic and richer with nyances that the Brittish group mentioned. "Hey You People" is a short upright acoustic piece with multiple vocal harmonies, and it leads directly to "Teaparty for an Orchard", over a six minutes long track with euphoric acoustic beginning, which morphs as a another sequence with different melodies trough an acid soundscape. "Ode to Resistance" has some nice flutes, and as these are companied with an acoustic guitar, baritone vocals and interesting hard rock punches, this could be compared with "Aqualung" era JETHRO TULL. "Gideon's Trap" sounds then like PROCOL HARUM, as it builds up from minor steady beated bluesy tune with piano, organ and bursting solo guitar in the end. The theme of the first song continues in the end, creating a loose concept structure to this fabulous album, which I would really recommend to al those who like artistic 70's classic rock music. What is really pleasant to my ear are also the vocals, as they are not done in the usual fjord vocals style of the days of this record (URIAH HEEP's vocals were called as such, sounding like somebody is falling of a fjord in a very cold day). Check this band out when you find their albums!
