28. Dungen- Ta Det Lugnt

Having wallowed for so long in vintage prog and psychedelica, I noticed how so many bands these days cut the classics of the genre up with modern tools or using elements out of electronica or metal to create their own sound. How refreshing to stumble on an album that is so old-school it makes it actually unique. Ta Det Lugnt jerked me straight back into the early seventies-period of the progressive genre. Just the way how the guitars are fuzzed out, the organ and flute sounds are genuine and the melodies are influenced by bits of hard rock, free jazz, psychedelica and folk, this double album's showing the full haul. It's like Ozric Tentacles getting timewarped to that early 70s-era and getting a heavy lesson from Jethro Tull, Deep Purple and Sun Ra. Dungen also managed to make sure the tracks aren't too long and keeps it interesting throughout by changing instrumentarium and moods throughout some pretty good melodies. Totally diggin' it man!
