Catalog #:	ACID 009CD

"An album which has had a mystical allure for the stoned elite around the world since it's initial release. This rare psychedelic/progressive freak-rock album, released in 1973 on Harvest in Sweden, has great instrumental wealth -- flutes, guitars, maracas, timbales, harmonica, and remarkable percussion -- resulting in five songs with very special character that have, at times, a very North American sound. Panta Rei's tight playing and Thomas Arnesen's terrific searing guitar leads directly resulted in the recording of this, Panta Rei's only album -- a great effort from a band who tried to record an album after playing at a big acid festival in Uppsala in 1971, but got so stoned that nothing got done, and the tapes went up in smoke. An amazing combination of trippy blessed-out guitar raves, complex compositions, and consciousness-expanding improvisation which sounds better today than ever before. Cover art scientifically designed to keep your mind focused intently on the music."

Catalog #:	GP 1004LP

"Panta Rei is attributed to Heraticlus' thoughts about change, meaning 'everything flows' in ancient Greek. And this is exactly what you get from this album. Originally issued on the Harvest label in 1973, this is a wonderful stream of trippy, heavy, Swedish prog with an intensely groovy jazz-rock and fuzz oriented approach that comes close to Frank Zappa circa Hot Rats, with some spacey, freaked-out atmospheres and an underlying Canterbury feel. The guitar work is predominant and menacing, whereas the all-English lyrics and the rich musical texture that feeds on layers of flutes, maracas, timbales, harmonica and impressive percussion, make for a truly majestic album. Exact reissue fully licensed directly by EMI Sweden. Limited to 600 copies in black vinyl."
