    I had a couple of names/records on my playlist one of them Norwegian Band 'Actionfredag' and their 23 record 'Turist I eget liv'...I already liked the cover a lot ,that reminds me the illustration of the books by Swedish writer Astrid Lindgren and also some SMM covers...Canterburish influence for sure and then some..lots of details so have to give the record a few spins...

    It's an excellent album -as you say a notable Canterbury influence, but it is just an influence, not a slavish copy. I was reminded of Klotet in parts (a good thing!) and I even like the occasional vocals. They've already recorded their second album to be released in the autumn -I look forward to it.

    Just a heads-up that this absolutely splendid album is finally available on CD on the áMARXE label. I just found out and ordered my copy (limited edition of 500). Looks like the LP (only pressed in 200 copies) is already sold out.

    Thanks, this sounds great, so I just ordered the CD!

    BTW, the first album (minus a six-minute bonus track that's on the CD) and new single are on Spotify, which I somehow didn't expect. Got my CD yesterday, NP...

    I got an email from Amarxe about this today. I'm not sure why I was sleeping on this band, but I'd sampled them before and took a pass for whatever reason. Curious about the new release, I gave these tracks a listen, then went back to the first album and spent a bit more time with it. Wow. I'm glad I did. This is WAY better than I'd remembered. I'm wondering if I got them mixed up with someone else.

    In any case, I took advantage of their sale price and ordered both CDs. File this one under: better late than never.
