Mike McLatchey Zamla Mammaz Manna - For Aldre Nybeggenare/Schlagerns MystikFor my money, SZamla incarnation number two was their prime. Zamla is the same line up as Samla, except Eino Haapala had replaced Coste Apetrea at the guitar spot (and later Bruniusson would be augmented and then left, replaced by drummer extraordinaire Vilgot Hansson). This Swedish quartet/quintet were practically spilling over with invention, in fact it seems that the abundance of talent and egos is partially what created such amazing tension which led to the transformation to Zamla and then Von Zamla.
For Aldre Nybeggenare/Schlagerns Mystik are two linked yet separate albums of incredibly dense fusion that is often described as Rock In Opposition. If you aren't into the experimental side of progressive (like Henry Cow, The Muffins, Picchio Dal Pozzo, Univers Zero, Etron Fou etc.) then I wouldn't recommend this CD, but if those bands are part of your listening reportoire, then this one is likely to appeal greatly. The double album is extremely diverse, in fact too much to talk about here, as it goes from weird folk ditties to ripping and uncompromising RIO fusion to improvisation in the fascinating way that only Samla could do. The only difference is that the improvisations and more traditional moments both take up a CD each rather than being integrated fully into the whole album.
Condition: the album sleeve has a few VERY minor signs of wear, and otherwise there are no tears, seam splits, writing, or other damage whatsoever. The two records have some light markings on them mostly from sliding them in and out of the inner sleeve and are otherwise nearly spotless, with no scratches, no scuff marks, and no other signs of use or damage at all. A two-sided lyric sheet/poster is also included. The issue number of this item is Swedish (?) Silence SRS 4640. Minimum bid is $5.00, with no reserve!
This listing is part of a collection of close to 50 records I will be posting over the next 2 weeks or so. The collection is some of the most obscure late 60's to mid 70's progressive/psych/jazz fusion/international material available. These first listings are the MOST recognisable examples of the collection, which will also include records by Quintessence, Third Ear Band, Nik Turner, Bengt Berger, Popol Vuh, Daniel Ponce, Ali Akbar Khan, and much more. If these are among your interests, please bookmark my listings!
