At last, a facsimile exact reissue of this most mysterious mega-rare Swedish psych/prog gem from 1973 including an in-depth biography written by
The Amazing
/
Dungen
lead guitarist
Reine Fiske
plus previously-unpublished photographs. Limited edition of 500 copies. The colorful and turbulent late 1960s created a ground for a world-spanning counter-culture and musical phenomenon that swept all of Europe. In Sweden and in Stockholm specifically, the sign of those times gave rise to diverse politics, anarchistic and playful happenings that all intertwined, eventually giving birth to a rather small but highly prolific and unique musical scene.
Resan (The Trip)
was surprisingly released on the Swedish CBS subsidiary label Epic in 1973 and is the rarest of all the major-label releases within the Swedish psychedelic/progressive era. It has been seen as a continuation of the legendary
Swedish Life
album as it features all the former
Life
band members.
The Resan (The Trip)
crew all lived together in a hippie commune outside of Stockholm and the album represents a unique and almost hidden part of the most "heady" (cerebrally-stoned and turned-on) Stockholm psychedelic-rock-history. The uniqueness and rarity of
Resan (The Trip)
is in its blissful but at times dark atmosphere. Strong composition with full electric band instrumentation, including some stellar electric acid fuzz guitars and spaced-out flutes, etc. -- pretty much everything you could wish for in a recording like this. The album's rather splintered musical palette is also something of a perfect but peculiar mix of preaching hippie-naivety rooted in the psychedelic late 1960s, though clearly coming of age in the slightly darker 1970s.
