ORIGINAL (RARE) 1972 FIRST PRESS

KILLER UNDERGROUND GUITAR-ACID/ROCK

~ ALRUNE ROD ~

...ALRUNE ROCK...

DANISH - SONET - SLPS 1537

Final Collection Copy

Original and very scarce 12972 first press in nice gartefold sleeve ... this is top flight Danish underground psych/prog with hard edge long tracks, very expressive, skilled, amazingly refreshing guitar work all over the place...

'Alrune Rod' is the Danish name for the mythical mandrake root and was the name for one of the most popular hippie bands from Denmark. They shared the stage with Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin among many other famous bands.

Alrune Rod was inspired by the Danish author Albert Dam’s book “Syv Fortællinger” (“Seven Stories”) from 1962 where a Robin Hood-like character is sentenced to hanging. While hanging at the end of the rope with his trousers open, he ejaculates, and a mandrake root grows up from where his sperm hits the ground. Just like in sagas where it is the blood from hanged men that nourish the mandrake root on gallows hills. The root, which always has a human-like form, is collected in this novel by a virgin who cares for it and in turn the root makes good things happen. This 3rd album (Alrune Rock) shows the group leading the proceeds on this platter with exceptional razor electric guitar creativity - fully capable of violent and emotional 6-string drama as the main expression and flows all over the place with strength through a technically more advanced style of hard-edged progressive rock music. This album reached number 3 on the “Top 10” charts of the Danish radio.A Danish hippie blockbuster of the sort, there are no weak tracks and the sheer interplay of tight formidable instrumentatuions should well satisfy the prog psych adventurist as the music is exciting and varied that it must belong among Danish rock classics... It is at once both melodic and full of improvisations, and belongs to the top of the Danish underground scene among Young Flowers, Culpeper's Orchard, Burnin Red Ivanhoe, Pan, Hurdy Gurdy, The Old Man & The Sea, just to name a few. Their musical style is often described as a hybrid between West Coast psychedelia and early PINK FLOYD.
