    Oriental Sunshine ~ 1970 ~ Dedicated To The Bird We Love
    Oriental Sunshine ~ 1970 ~ Dedicated To The Bird We Lovegenre: psych, raga, folk
    state: norway
    quality: lossless (flac, cue, log, covers, size: 174 mb)
    time: 30'30"

    Supremely mellow, tender Eastern psyche from Norway circa 1970, Oriental Sunshine bombed hard on the initial release of Dedicated To The Bird We Love – perhaps Norway wasn't hip to the sound of sitar psyche back then? 
    There's really no good reason for this not to have become a classic album in its time – it's truly beautiful, high-quality psychedelic rock amongst the best of its generation. Thankfully, the fine folks at Sunbeam have shown great generosity in bringing Oriental Sunshine back to the surface again. 
    Comparisons to the softer psyche sounds of Magic Carpet, Mellow Candle, Linda Perhacs, Vashti Bunyan, Velvet Underground and H.P. Lovecraft are warranted. The music is so sophisticated that at times I even think of the early albums by Return To Forever with Flora Purim. 
    Singer Nina Johansen has a gorgeous flowing, airy voice with a very nice vibrato that soars elegantly over freely dancing forest flutes and masterful sitar voyages. Percussion is of the soft and ethnic variety. Pianos round out the sound. 
    Fans on incense-heavy, flower power Eastern-tinged psyche will find nothing finer than the smooth sound of Oriental Sunshine. This is probably the best psyche album I have heard in years, and considering how many lost classics are seeing the light of day lately – and then finding their way onto the Left Hip stereo, that's no small compliment. Very highly recommended.  ~ Gordon B. Isnor
