A solid-gold nugget of space-age jazz. Norwegian singer Karin Krog is front-and-center, while the rest of the band provides a seemingly endless supply of loose, propulsive, hella chill grooves and slowburners.
Track listing:
1. We Could Be Flying
2. Meaning of Love
3. Sometime Ago
4. All I Want
5. Sing Me Softly of the Blues
6. Raindrops, Raindrops
7. Lament
8. Hold Out Your Hand
9. Time to Go
A new kind of light surrounds us all

Now THIS Record's somewhat Special to me, Coming from Norway, and in general not so Big Fan of Karin Krog when I found the material that I've heard a bit Overrated.
ReplyDeleteHowever; I've known about this Record for Decades. The Original pressings' been sold for SILLY Money to Vinyl-Collectors these days (If there's one available.). But I've avoided it so far because of the reasons that I mentioned. But actually searching for something else that I've forgotten what was at the moment, this popped up and I thought "Waddahell; isn't it time to give it a try by now?". And guess Fxxx'in What: It's GREAT! It IS The Classic that It's said to be,
and I LOVE it, and feeling like a Goddamn FOOL!I even stumbled across a fair priced 2nd hand Reissue here earlier this spring, and Passed on it. DOUBLE WHAMMY!
Well; So much for Biased attitudes (Musically) that sticks until they grow moss.Well; to my own defence: Maybe not THAT bad. It's more like that the "Nah, I'll pass" did become a habit through the decades.
