| SMELL OF INCENSE - Of Ullages and Dottles | ||
Miraculous band from Norway returns with an excellent progressive and psychedelic rock album. On their 3rd full length TSOI pass from floral fairyland to the dark side of the moon, encountering an enchanted world of beauty, mystery and strange dreams.

| SMELL OF INCENSE - Through the Gates of Deeper Slumber | ||
Three years after their debut album All Mimsy Were the Borogoves (on Colours, Norway) here is the 2nd full length from our favourite outfit from the southern coast of Norway. They shifted their musical direction forward to structures in the vein of early 70's progressive mellotronic space rock, while still keeping their traditional psychedelic influences. On side 1 TSOI take us into a floral fairyland: a 25-min. long conceptual suite in 5 parts, where the music ranges from meditative raga rock bliss with sitar to percussive trance rock elements to a meadow symphony and electronics in both starring and supporting role. Side 2: brilliant and breathtaking, richly instrumented and melodic spacy rock tracks tinged with influences of 60's Beautiful Balloon and the Canterbury Scene, superb vocal harmonies and a progressive/folk feel throughout. All lyrics by fantasy/romantic authors (Lord Dunsany, Mary Cicely Barker, Michael Moorcock etc.). Beautiful artwork by Gunnhilde Langerud (who also did the cover of All Mimsy) and Bumble B.
