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.

Straight to The Krakenhaus is my favourite but the debut and Sea Son are great too.

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.

I do like Secret Oyster, but I'm personally more keen on their precursor, Burnin Red Ivanhoe. It sounds a lot more edgy to me. |

Maybe I'm Amazed, but YouTube just got a whole lot more amazing since I started using a free ad-blocker to block out all of YouTube's goofy ads - especially the immensely irritating gambling ads.

I've only heard the name, not the music. Cool stuff, thanks!!
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!

It can be also told that Secret Oyster only play instrumental music, so surely no problems with Danish vocals are possible here.

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.

Paul has been so kind to provide links to all the Secret Oyster albums except from the new one, but I still think it's a good idea with a little sample here, and why not from my favourite album, Sea Son - great!: Edited by David_D - July 27 2023 at 05:33 |

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

About 10 years ago, I bought Sea son (Cd + 3 more tracks of decent quality)
Nice stuff I must not deceive myself by saying that their originals LPs have never been distributed here (Belgium). |

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. .

I've heard of them too, so they must be Denmark's worst-kept secret.

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 |
