"So, what's a Nordic Alien" can I hear you ask. Well, Wikipedia comes to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nordic_aliens" rel="nofollow - the rescue ...
My first thought when reading that was that Klaus Schulze's obviously a representative of theirs.   Becomes even more obvious when you listen to the kind of music he was making at the same time. Would any Earthling have had the idea to use blastbeats in heavy guitar music as early as the Ash Ra Tempel S/T? As a matter of fact, I'm starting to assume Kosmische Musiker are Pleiadeans until the opposite has been proven. Cosmic Jokers indeed. (except Florian Schneider from Kraftwerk who has to be least 1/4 Grey with that forehead...) Jon Anderson even more so, in fact his lyrics make a lot more sense if that turn out to be the case. Alf Svensson from Oxiplegatz too, weirdo science-fiction themed black/death metal if the guy's name isn't a dead giveaway already. The guys in Oranssi Pazuzu too, whom else could pull off a Kosmische Musik/2nd wave black metal fusion that spectacularly? Oh yeah, the Finns too. Pretty sure the members of Hawkwind don't count, though, they are more likely mediaeval alchemists sent through a timewarp except for Lemmy Kilmister who's obviously an unfrozen caveman. Well, maybe Bob Calvert... ------------- "The past is not some static being, it is not a previous present, nor a present that has passed away; the past has its own dynamic being which is constantly renewed and renewing." - Claire Colebrook |

I'm still more convinced he's an alchemist from the Middle Ages who fell through a timewarp to the 1970s.

Long blond hair, not much spoken dialogue and skintight clothing...every Scandinavian porn star? Does Jon Anderson represents the pygmy branch of the Nordic Aliens then? -------------

Good call on Daevid Allen, unless he's a timeshifted Druid. What about Roky Erickson? Supposedly of Norwegian extraction, claims to be an alien contactee, once fronted a band called Roky Erickson & the Aliens... his first band 13th Floor Elevators also were the first to call their own music "psychedelic rock" showing a level of depth hitherto unknown in rock music their lyrics as regarding esoteric occult matters. ------------- "The past is not some static being, it is not a previous present, nor a present that has passed away; the past has its own dynamic being which is constantly renewed and renewing." - Claire Colebrook |

David Bowie too, watch The Man Who Fell to Earth if you don't believe me.

Decent movie yes but that old 'Rock Star as Alien' malarkey got really old very quickly. I'm sure there were times in his earlier career that Bowie thought he might never escape the typecasting of Space Oddity? -------------

Ah, Nordic aliens! A cheesy concept, of course, and smacks of racial ideologies of the worst kind. But they remind me of Elves (of the Middle-earth kind, not Santa Claus's elves or the tiny winged ones) - and some prog acts, such as Yes, remind me of Elves, too (see my signature). ------------- ... brought to you by the Weeping Elf "What does Elvish rock music sound like?" - "Yes." |

The singer from Focus is a little too south for this category, but he's gotta' be at least an honorable mention here. ------------- "It just has none of the qualities of your work that I find interesting. Abandon [?] it." - Eno |
