STOLEN FROM TIME
NORWAY - POLYDOR - 2480 332
MINT VINYL
Original RARE mid-70's heavy progressive ORIGINAL that you seldom see...real 'underground' stuff with a dramatic flair that should have plenty of interest by collectors...
***STILL IN ORIGINAL FACTORY SHRINK WRAPPER for export to the USA market
In 1975 Florian Fricke (leader of the German group Popol Vuh) found out this Norwegian band were using his 'groups' name and threatened them with a lawsuit. For this reason Popol Vuh changed their name to Popol Ace.
Stolen From Time (1975) was their most ambitious effort benefiting from unusually generous amounts of studio time, provided by a record company dreaming of international success. It's one of those albums that was carefully produced, second by second. Included were some of their strongest and most mature songs, such as "Bury Me Dead" and "Today Another Day". Their overall sound (with more elaborate double guitars/keyboards led instrumental passages than before) was influenced by prime Peter Gabriel Genesis circa 1972-74. The album opener "Bury Me Dead" is a nice outfit using keyboard as the foundation of the music, augmented with guitar work. Vocal quality is strong fitting the music nicely. As opening track this one sets the overall tone of the album. "Today Another Day" is composed in the same vein like opening track. In this song Jahn Teigen (vocals) demonstrates his quality voice with a firm accent that makes the music is quite enjoyable. Guitar provides its solo at the background and never been exposed as soloist. The song changes its style into bluesy one in the middle of the track - or minute 4:00 to be exact. The guitar portion is now quite apparent. "The Jester" is another good rock tune combining guitar fills, keyboard and energetic voice. Jahn Teigen proves his voice which works well at high notes - followed with excellent keyboard work. "Soft Shoe Dancer" is good composition with bluesy style, nice vocal. This song provides good break for the album."Sleepwalker" concludes the album in medium tempo rock music combining guitar and keyboard and good vocal quality.
It's definitely a strong album that should suit those of you who collect obscure/rare Lp's from the early-mid 70s. Today the albums compositions appear stronger than those on their two following albums.
Bury Me Dead 5:57
Today Another Day 5:40
Jester 3:59
Soft Shoe Dancer 4:42
Mr. Bigalow 4:13
Sweet Tune 5:02
Sleepwalker 5:24
I Can See Tears 6:01
Suicide 8:20
CONDITION: The cover is laminated & fragile, still in the original factory shrink wrap and would have gotten a mint rating but for the fact that a fragile European cover in shrink wrap from 35 years ago has caused light bends at corners. There is also a delete drill at top right, otherwise bright original colors with no split seams. Overall call it VG++ to be safe...
The vinyl is all glossy clean M- on both sides...plays terrific with no audio problems...the Polydor labels are clean
keeper copy!
A GREAT ADDITION TO ANYONE'S COLLECTIBLES!
