Scented Gardens of Mind:
In the mid-seventies, some of the Scandinavian groups developed their own brand of poetic progressive rock, using their native tongue. Among these were Trettioåriga Kriget, Saga, Kaipa, Bättre Lyss, Høst (who were Norwegian) and Blåkulla, a group from the Gothenburg area. Their music had a very enthusiastic and heartfelt approach with loud guitars and organ, somewhere between Junipher Greene (1971) and early Deep Purple. Some of Blåkulla's lyrics were written by Swedish poets and sung in a high-pitched, earnest voice by Dennis Lindegren. The album was recorded in a semi-professional studio, resulting in a dense, compact and chiming sound, which adds even more charm to it. Tracks like "Idealet"(The Ideal), "I Solnedgången" (In Sunset), "Erinran" (Memories) and "Sirenernas Sång" (Song Of The Sirens) are among the most memorable from this period in Sweden, sounding almost like a heavy metal version of Kaipa. Powerful yet lyrical and firmly recommended!

Hello, thank you for postings. There seems to be something wrong with the Blåkulla file. I can't split with cuesplitter or convert the whole file to wav or any other format. My computer or your file?
