Excellent. I do like that sunny rhythm guitar - quite African and joyous. And the lead is cool too. My structural complaint is that it should be longer and incorporate a more open section to give the listener a rest and for you to perhaps add some big dub echoes or something like that. Then you can return with the main theme to what would be, in a live setting, inevitably great applause. Good fun overall!

Cool delivery on this tune Jorgen. Nice reggae meets new age? Not sure how I would classify it but I like it.
<div><div class="pad5px"><div style="margin: 0pt; padding: 0pt; width: 670px; text-align: left; font-size: 12px;"><p> </p><p>sometime in 1969-70 I started out in my first band; Lucidor´s Feelmjölk, a bluesband. We mainly covered Peter Green and Clapton-stuff. <br />Around 1972 I formed Skuggfaxe (Shadowfax), a four-piece group, mainly into free form improvised rock, Ingmar Gunnard; drums, Lars Skånberg; bass, Göran Granlund; electric piano and guitar.</p> <p>In 1976, , I found Oool Fjölkunnigr on my doorstep, and we ended eventually up in Canada, and formed Ragnarök, with Kelon (Alan Bunce) on bass, Bruce Wittet, drums and Gerry Griffin was about to join, when problems forced me to leave, the Union was one..</p> <p>Back in Sweden, I formed a trio with Ingmar Gunnard; drums and Ingmar Glans; bass, we played a couple of gigs. <br />After a few other shortlived groups, I built Studio Urania, and went into the recording business. <br />Bands like Unos Kanoner, Aptit, Smutsiga Hundarna and many other recorded there, and I enjoyed it very much. <br />In 1982 I was forced to move the studio, and in the process I got some money and a much bigger place to house the studio in.... So there I built a stage, and was shortly in charge of a club, with recording facilities !! <br />Studio Urania then had a big part of what happened in Göteborg during the rest of the 1980ies.Freddie Wadling and his Cortex recorded with me, as did plenty of national, and some international groups. <br />Studio Urania also became a label, I first only made cassette-productions. <br />A long-time co-operation with welsh percussionist Steve Hubback changed that. <br />http://hubgong.dse.nl/ <br />Steve recorded an album and several cassettes while with the Urania-label. <br />The swedish cajun-band Suede Zydeco also recorded an album, and ended up persuading me to join on bass. <br />We toured a lot in Sweden, played on ferry-boats to Denmark, and a mini tour in the USA. <br />Well, all things come to an end...in 1993 Studio Urania was forced to close down.</p></div></div></div>
