On this, their only album it is actually Vagn Carlsen (and John Teglgaard) and not Claus on guitar Masala Dosa is (or was) one of my all time favourite Danish live bands, and Recommended to 1960s/70s PROGRESSIVE ROCK fans
Led me to the Progglådan label with 33 albums of 60s and 70s Swedish prod, hard rock and folk - most average but some really good. Such as Ragnarok, Trettioariga Kriget, November, Jukka Tolonen Band, Flasket Brinner and Egba. Most of which were new to me. Certainly worth a try. https://www.emusic.com/label/509471/Proggldan
Progglådan is also released as a 40 CD boxset with recordings made by Sveriges Radio and broadcasted in a program called Tonkraft.
The Samla Mammas Manna album is featuring Ron Geesin (collaborating with Roger Waters on "The Body" album and involved in the Floyd album "Atom Heart Mother" - More a curiosity than a great album
When Egba was mentioned, the drummer Åke Eriksson popped up in my head. Besides Egba, he was behind the barrels in Wasa Express:
Åke was/is one of Sweden's best rock/fusion drummers and was famous for his solos where he included the entire hall and even the audience's heads, in his kit.
- Here, with his famous "five sticks /two under the arms / one in the mouth" stunt :
I'll never ever forget those early Tuxedomoon shows in Copenhagen. 100% concentration and focus from both the band and the audience. In the quiet moments you would be able to hear a needle dropping on the floor.
- This recording is an excellent example of this. (posted on the Tuxmo archive page June 19, 2018)
The other day I was driving behind a car with the license plate "IM RAEL"
I've a big soft spot for that album (and the couple before) and was thinking last week that I'm doing something wrong in not having at least the first three Gabriel solo albums. Classic Hipgnosis cover too. ------------- 10 minutes after typing that I've just bought those first three Gabriel albums. My mind was drawing a blank on the song titles of the second album...
I must also admit to liking early Genesis albums - particularly Selling England by the Pound, which was my first introduction to Genesis back in around 1973
