Crack the Sky

Northern Studios

Maynard, MA.

May 10th 1976

Remastered WBCN-FM broadcast.

An early CTS studio session.

There is static noise at times and a few other issues.

I did a lot of work dampening down the worst clicks

and applying patches where necessary.

It turned out OK IMO.

Great performance and well worth a listen.

Progglådan Box C: Folkprogg & Sjungande låtskrivare

(folk progg & singing songwriters)

CD 301 Bernt Staf

The third box begins with Bernt Staf who was a writer, actor,

acoustic guitar strummer, Marmite-singer and occasional whistler.

I believe the lyrics have socio-political meaning

but any of that is lost on me as I don't speak the lingo.

'Pick a Bale of Hay' is, sort of. sung in English

but probably not representative of Bernt's lyrics.

He had a big hit with the song 'Familjelycka',

for which he won a Grammy, so somebody must like him.

I didn't find it unlistenable to be fair but he ain't no Roy Harper.

I watched a news report last night

about infants dying in Afghanistan from malnutrition and measles.

I was still depressed when I woke up today.

What a shitty world.

Progglådan Box B: CD 210

Samla Mammas Manna/Ron Geesin

I've posted a version of this one before.

Haven't checked how it compares.

This marks the end of Box-Set No.2

Scottish musician/composer/arranger Ron Geesin

is probably best known for his work with Roger Waters and Pink Floyd.

(Music from the Body/Atom Heart Mother)

Here he is thrown together with the Samlas

and they produce weird & wonderful stuff.

The first half hour SMM set is simply sublime.

Top performance of Ikarien and an interesting version of Ödet.

Sound quality is not great and they overdo the percussion at times.

I'll be blunt...Dweezil ain't no Frank,

Twinkle Tits is the stand-out tune being, probably, the most ambitious piece.
