Secret Oyster: a secret Danish Jazz-Rock pearl? - Progressive Rock Music Forum

Absolutely love the band. Krankenhaus is my favorite, and one of my favorite albums by anyone. Gave it a long 5-star review on this site.

Secret Oyster is also quite interesting in the context of Progressive Rock concept, as I think their music was on borderline of

Jazz-Rock and regular Progressive Rock.

quality over quantity, and all kind of PopcoRn almost beyond

Isn't YouTube amazing? We can sample all sorts of obscure music for free! I don't mind the goofy ads, at least you can skip them!

Awesome band!!!

The Prog Corner

Secret Oyster is very probably one of the three internationally most appreciated 1970s Prog bands from Denmark, and it's not

coincidental it's a Jazz-Rock band, as this genre was quite/very popular amongst Danish progressive musicians, much more

than Symphonic.

Great band. I ran into them at a convenient store and walked up behind them and said something like "ok, what's the secret?" Wink

My personal favorite is the debut and Straight To The Krankenhaus is a close second.

Sea Son is excellent too.

Still haven't heard the 2019 archival release Striptease

The only one I don't like is Astarte - especially the flipside.

Haven't heard the 2019 album either (didn't even know they released one), but checking it out in our DB, most of the historical members are on it.

let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword

Ookay, one of your self-ironical jokes, Paul, but I remember that you've also listened to some of Secret Oyster's albums, and you've even told something very positive about the band. Tongue

Yes, it's no secret that I'm a fan of Secret Oyster too. Smile
