Wonderful cover. What makes it even better is that the singer calls herself "SugarTits". Knockout voice.

Great relaxing prog/folk/psyche whatever you want to call it album.

 

[no country for old wainds]

their first album's good too.

 

[Omni]

Good band. I meant to buy their albums a while ago and never did.

 

[Oblivious Maximus]

So far I've only heard Old Boot Wine and Bells, Boots and Shambles. Curious to hear the two that came out in 2009 and 2011 I believe.

Easily one of the most consistent and best progressive/jazz fusion acts ever.

I've already posted the studio version three months ago, but I like this more intense live version even better:



At least the two who liked the studio version - @isberg and @Mort Divine - should also give this one a try.

These guys were very good. Its safe to say this one was a Genius. They were pioneering. Not just playing one instrument in a 4/4 beat in a band. They wrote for 50 plus instruments and read and wrote it in real music. These tunes, they are timeless. I really like to contrast my hard rock with this sort of stuff. Each complements the other and is depending on mood.

Rock 'n' roll the French way. Ridiculously catchy. Choice track "Stupide petit garcon" starts around 26:41.

Youtube and crappy speakers dont do the clip justice. Hopefully i can see them live one day. Think it might be majestic.

Love how this synthy stuff can be so dark and uplifting at the same time.

I've been lucky to attend two of their concerts, the first one in Cologne in 2005 when they were doing their first and so far only German tour, only a few months before they split up. It was just a small club with maybe 30 people attending, because hardly anyone here knew them. After a very successful reunion concert in Trondheim in 2009, which was originally planned as a one-off show, they decided to play a few more concerts in 2010, the final one taking place on a stage swimming in front of the Opera house in Oslo, and that's where I saw them for the second time. It was a very special concert for me in more than just one regard.

I was very pleased when I heard about their reuinon in 2017, though at first only the vocalist and her brother (the one playing the fiddle) were the only remaining original members and they wanted to continue without a guitarist. Luckily, their former guitarist eventually joined them as well. Here's a live clip from their concert in Trondheim in 2009 showing a performance "Margit Hjukse". Since it's a bootleg-clip, the picture quality is not the best and the sound could be better as well. The craziest (and maybe also noisiest) part starts at about 4:20:



Someone also uploaded the studio version of this song (luckily in better sound quality) - please note that the album cover shown in this clip is the wrong one, because the song is actually from their debut album "Jygri" (and not from its successor "Iselilja"):

Finally got around to Spirogyra's first album and yeah, terrific. My two favorites:
