- USA - Dwarf Records - PDLP 2 00 1 (1970)
Founded in the Hague Netherlands in 1965 as the "Sweet Okay Supersister", the band signed with Polydor Records in 1970 after the success of the single "She Was Naked"
Strongly influenced by the English Canterbury scene, in particular Soft Machine, Caravan, Egg. There are also clear references to the absurdist adventures of Frank Zappa and Mothers of Invention
"PRESENT TO NANCY"
The album starts off with power sourced percussive drive with a classic Canterbury sizzling complex keyboard run, contrasting to or in comparison of styles carrying on throughout the album's entire run, never lets up and offers only the unexpected, after a sense of comfort dares creep in.
The album could be thought of as taking up the continuation of Soft Machine's first two albums. SUPERSISTER gleefully picked up where "Soft Machine II" left off and then found myriad avenues of creative liberties to breath new life into by taking the most extreme elements of the musical landscape and finding a way to incorporate them into the greater scheme of things.
SUPERSISTER managed to deliver the whole package with pleasant, even addictive melodies teased out into elaborate compositions that simultaneously exhibited a caffeinated youthful energetic drive together with mature and thoughtfully laid out musical motifs that took all the best aspects of the English Canterbury sound along with complex-rock twists, classical and ridiculously cool psychedelia via electronic freak outs over exquisitely difficult time signatures amid three segments of Canterbury laced melodies, relentless fuzz bass stabs, electronic feedback run amok and even sizzling guitar leads on par with any heavy rock of the day. The "11/8" part takes the best aspects of Egg and Soft Machine's organist Mike Ratelege only to more extreme levels.
"Corporation Combo Boys," right out of the Zappa/mothers playbook finds jazz-rock and tango romping together but only a brief appetite whetted for "Metamorphosis," another three part suite that sounds like an experimentation of lounge lizard exotica that slowly ratchets up in intensity until it implodes with the closing segment of "Eight Miles High."
"Dona Nobis Pacem" goes even further and finds the band displaying some of the most interesting electronic techniques made more famous by Tangerine Dream as ethereal organ runs taking a ride into space in a slow unwinding prancing session between the stars, a track that belies the frenetic and whimsical nature of the album as a whole. Some sort of calming effect perhaps for the unsuspecting audience of the day? Who knows but a perfect way to end the prog express that unapologetically wends and winds through both the known and unknown prog universe of the day.
With so many elements freewheeling around the racetrack at a million miles an hour, PRESENT FROM NANCY shows a keen sense of stylistic balance which allows the album to hum along in perfection. The frenetic aspects are tamped down by the sensual moments of introspection. While stylistically straddling the line between Canterbury, jazz, classical and psychedelia, SUPERSISTER's first LP delivers one of the most diverse sounding albums of the early progressive rock years in the vein of King Crimson's mighty "In The Court Of Crimson King" which boldly straddles the musical soundscape into un-visited nooks and crannies of sound. This LP was very much a 'grower' for many listeners. What started out as a WTF type of album has slowly sunk in with repeat plays to become a fan-favorite. Patience, my friends. All good things come in due time. A PRESENT FROM NANCY is the gift that keeps on giving.
