Rec. Info:
Sony ECM 719mic -> Sony PCMD50 (at WAV 24/96) -> transfer -> HD -> TDK USBstick (received via mail) -> my HD -> Audacity (edit/remaster/conversion) -> WAV 16/44 -> TLH8 -> FLAC ->
DIME -> YOUR EARS AND MIND...
Recorded by dear Lars at about 4 meters from stage edge dead center. The audience was unfortunately only about 30 people on a very cold winter night in Oslo, who were there to experience
this great band. No chatters audible, but the recording was very low on both volume and the deep end. I've tried to fix that as best as possible. Al thanks straight to Oslo to the great
taper who went out while others would've stayed home in their cozy warm home...

Hell yeah, what a nice surprise! Here are four very talented young guys from Suomi (Finland), who will take you on a psychedelic trip for a little while. To be honest: I've never heard a
single note from them before, and to my personal shame I've to admit that I missed them close here to my home last October (opening for KADAVAR, but I didn't go to my fifth K-show in a
year with the same setlist...if I had known better about DEATH HAWKS opening set...worth alone the admission fee!), but I guess there will be another chance someday.
The band released their second, self titled album last October (damn, another chance to get a signed vinyl passed!), and is playing on and off the scandinavian countries in the next months.
A bit from their sites...
"The Death Hawks� new album is a blend of 70's krautrock and psychedelia. A stream of consciousness where intoxicating shamanistic rhythm meets cool, minimal saxophone, raw guitar shredding
and intriguing, elegant keyboard patterns. At the same time Death Hawks masters the very core of rock itself and the polar opposite of it."
Well, as I'm always very restrained about anything calling "Krautrock", which doesn't origin in Germany, I would simply call this "PsychFjordRock"...you maybe agree, if not, ok with me.
Alrighty, make up your own mind about this great 4piece from somewhere in Suomi, and I guess (not I know) you will like it as much as I did/do... Roll one up and get right in! SB.
