The Pink Fairies – Finland Freakout 1971
January 7th, 2010
Turn off your mind and float downstream... What fantastic album. It may've been recorded decades ago but it more than holds its own against any contemporary bands attempting to play such music. For PF diehards and fans this is ESSENTIAL; for anyone interested in wigged out psyche played by a proper power trio, this is ESSENTIAL. No doubt an analogue recording, and sounding fantastic because it is, this is a band on top form and it doesn't get much better. The synergy between all instruments is astounding but, for me, it's the guitar playing that excels. When you compare this against some of their contemporaries who achieved global fame, it makes you wonder why the Fairies don't even appear to be a footnote in the history of 60/70's rock anymore, when they played such great music. I can't recommend this highly enough. Play it very loud and enjoy.
