ST. HELENA-HELLO FRIEND, 12" EP, 1991 (RECORDED: 1974), NORWAY
Hair raising Norwegian proggery from an outfit that predates the somewhat more well known and distinctly more sympho-proggy Akasha. If anything, St. Helena over the course of this archivally issued EP seem to be riding a very specific sorta tension that weaves between barrel chested thunder and rustic escapades in a way that that I more readily associate with Finnish acts of the era like Apollo or Kalevala, with passages of the forrest frolicking here also distinctly smacking of the kinda Tull-damaged proto-progginess wrought by Britain's Sindelfingen.

can't stop listening to this. very awesome.
Thanks for this! This a 500 copies limited edition vinyl. My father Kjell Arne Pleym(rip) who wrote all the songs with the vocalist Rolf Andersen did an amazing job! I still have the sheets and some of the master tapes to day:-)
Is it possible to get this link back up.
Im dying to hear this.
Me too!!
