JOHAN HEDREN-KRETSLOPP (CYCLE), LP, 1986, SWEDEN






Deeply tranced and tripped out Swedish mindbomb by this one time member of Kultivator as well as Ur Kaos (who I believe are still extant). Composed as an accompaniment to four paintings by Ola Freijd (pictured) and released on the fledgling Swedish avant prog label Bauta (home to Hedren's aforementioned bands), I hear the fourth world-isms of Hassell/Eno and the extended burbling sheets of mystical blissout found in early Deuter and the Don Robertson-Dawn album on Limelight. At it's heaviest moments this is almost edging toward Mask Of The Imperial Family territory.

Jackpot! The Ur Kaos/Kultivator/Zut Un Feu Rouge, etc. stuff is the best Sweden has to offer -- and that's saying a lot! Jacques Thollot and a Pinhas rarity (with the promise of more to come) makes today's postings extra special. Keep it up, guys. Mega-thanks.
