Description
Here’s what Sjef Oellers had to say about II, Archimedes Badkar’s second album, writing for the Gnosis website: “In 1976, Archimedes Badkar released the double album II on which the band displayed a much wider range of styles. Elements of (ethnic) Embryo, Third Ear Band, Popol Vuh and Amon Düül I or II (think of "Sandoz in the Rain" or "Paradieswärts Düül") are evident. In addition, they try to integrate Scandinavian and/or European folk in their music. In this respect they sound similar to Arbete & Fritid or Emma Myldenberger/Radio Noisz Ensemble. During the more experimental sections, Archimedes Badkar venture into either minimalist or free rock realms. Archimedes Badkar's instrumentation is half acoustic, half electric; besides guitar, bass, piano/organ and percussion, a wealth of other instruments such as violin, mandolin, trumpet, flutes, cello, bouzouki, saxophones, etc. can be heard. Both the wide spectrum of musical influences and instruments make this album a varied listening experience. Their music is partly energetic and lively, while other tracks have a much more raga-like drone or even a cosmic, trippy Krautrock vibe. The alternation between droning, hypnotic passages and lively, melodic sections gives the album a very pleasant, intrinsic flow. A unique album with absolutely mesmerizing music. [Both] albums are highly recommended.”
Released in Sweden on the Muskinätet Waxholm (MNW) label in 1976, this double LP set comes in a gatefold cover. The cover is in G- and the records are in VG++ condition. Please check out my other auctions for Archimedes Badkar’s first release, Badrock För Barn I Alla Åldrar. So far these are both unavailable on CD.
