"This is the 3rd album by Mecki Mark Men. Recorded in the CHESS studio in Chicago while Mecki Mark Men was on a North American tour in 1970. Basically it is the same heavy acid space rock as on their previous Running in the Summer Night album. Mecki Mark Men was (together with Hansson and Karlsson) Jimi Hendrix's favourite Swedish band. When Jimi came back from his Swedish tours he probably told the tales about the wild Swedish Hammond organ tormentor Mecki Bodemark, who did the same things with his grinding organ as Jimi did with his guitar. For those of you who yet have not heard MMM I can tell that they sound like a mix of Teargas, High Tide and Jimi Hendrix but with a wild organ player and the mighty Kenny Hakansson on lead guitar, with lots of fuzz and wah-wah, and sitar! After this album Mecki quit and the band changed their name to Kebnekajse. This CD includes their Sonet album from 1970 plus a commercial jingle. Inside the nice digipak one can find a complete gig list with all the 317 concerts that this line-up of MMM did during 1969-1970 as well as a detailed biography by Reine Fiske from Dungen and Tommy Dahlén!!! Reissue on CD taken from the original masters."
