Bring Out the Danish!

BAZAAR      We're travelling to Turkey now where east meets west with Danish World Music trio Bazaar. You can almost taste the warm smell of hookah pipes, rising up through the air. It's all really quite Bazaar.

ALRUNE ROD     The Danish Pink Floyd! Alrune Rod featured in the concert film Stoned Days in Thy where "Thy" refers to the Thylejren music festival in 1971 - the Danish equivalent of Woodstock with a reported audience of 30,000, representing a huge crowd by Danish standards, where 30,000 was roughly 1% of the entire population of Denmark at that time. So if you want to hear some astounding sounds and amazing music, then why not dip into the Psychedelic Rock of Alrune Rod to discover what the rest of the world outside of Denmark has been missing out on all these years. And the best place to start? Live Aalborg 2002 without a doubt! It's as tasty as a Danish pastry spread with Lurpak butter. Do you want jam on it? Well, you've come to the right place, as Alrune Rod are one of the best jam bands you're ever likely to hear, having been compared with the Grateful Dead, only better!  

Released 2023, Causa Sui 'Loppen 2021'

That's good to know. To clear up any misunderstanding, "Years Active" just means the years between an artist's first album and their latest album, so any of those 65 Danish artists listed could potentially be still active now in 2024. 

ACHE     Do you Ache to hear some new Symphonic Prog? Are you tired of listening to your old Genesis and YES albums? If so, why not given Ache a listen - surely the best Symphonic Prog band that no one's ever heard of and the best thing to come from Denmark since Lurpak butter. I'm spreading  some love for the magnificent sound of Ache, as three out of four albums are in English, and three out of four housewives say they prefer Lurpak butter to margarine. You'll discover Ache are as tasty as Danish pastry, which just leaves me to say "Blah Som Altid" (translation: "blah as always") as they say in Copenhagen, probably. 

Can I have my cinnamon/raisin roll/pastry with maple topping? Tastes much better than the music! And somehow I remember the taste of the roll a lot better than some music! Isn't that weird?
