TUSSILAGO FANFARA

A progressive electronic project from Sweden producing spacey synthesiser burblings in the style of classic Tangerine Dream and Klaus Schulze - shiftting gears towards the sounds of Ashra when the fuzzed-out guitar gets involved. There's touches of world music too on Inte Utanfor Tiden and Tusen Ar & Sju Timmar - not as much as Popol Vuh, but enough to keep things varied. Pretty decent, all round, and proof that the freaked-out improvisational approach of the early Krautrock/Berlin School scene was still knocking about in 1977, even if you had to go to Sweden to find it. Dreamy, introspective, and mystical, much like the strange cover art, Tussilago Fanfara is a delicious trip.
