The #buzz review presents an episode that may be less experimental than others, but a record that, as always suggested by our @[ALFAMA], is definitely effective. We look again to Northern Europe, this time to Denmark.

Blue Sun - Blue Sun '73 (1973)

Another group from Northern Europe, and more specifically this time from Denmark. They are Blue Sun, a band active mainly in the early seventies, and whose iconic record is undoubtedly this eponymous album from 1973 (reissued in 1992). The progressive rock imprint is evident in the sound of this group, which then branches out into various genres, and in its more experimental jazz expressions, it is not far from the kraut-rock of Can (e.g., the title track 'Blue Sun', 'Bladene Falder'). But the most typical aspect concerns songs of true rock and roll in the style of Eric Burdon and the Animals, evoking American rhythm and blues like 'Son Af Solen', 'Ivalo Og Liza', not to mention the instrumentals 'Tareperseren', 'Efterar', 'Solhverv'. A record with triumphant tones; had they been American or English, we would consider them classics of rhythm and blues and major bands of the genre, but their geographical origin makes us think more of a blend of genres that elsewhere, in Germany, translated into more acid expressions (not to mention Sweden), while in this case, the sounds are generally 'warm' and characterized by that typical 'blues', however more institutional. But effective.
