All the best /Torbjörn

I had no idea they were still a going concern. Nice to hear.
I'd love to see them some time.

I saw them about 3 years ago and they are still great!

I saw them in... er... 2001 or so... and I wasn't terribly impressed. There was another band of artschool types doing something unbelievably artschool in the room adjacent that I enjoyed a great deal more. Recommend me something that'll change my mind, TGoS fans.

i saw them couple of years ago... they were great. as for the records, i prefer the earliest records when they had different names: pärson sound, international harvester and harvester. the best TGS-record is probably gärdet live from 1970.

Parson Sound?

Excellent, I'll illegally download half of Pastrangediacriticrson Sound and get back to you soonish.

wow i also didn't know they were still around...

getting really into the Swedish psych scene old and new:
Parson Sound
International Harvester
Harvester
Trad, Gras Och Stenar
Baby Grandmothers
Kebnekajse/Kebnekaise
Bo Hansson
Hansson & Karlsson
Flasket Brinner
Arbete Och Fritid
Dungen (of course)

and this comp:
The Essence of Swedish Progressive Music 1967-1979: Pregnant Rainbows For Colourblind Dreamers


The bassist for TGoS died recently

That's an outstanding collection...... really well put together. I think my favorite Swedish act of the era is Trettiargia Kriget, the first few records are outstanding!! Really like the Baby Grandmothers track from the Forge Your Own Chains comp too, but can't find that album anywhere.......

Baby G's was a surprisingly solid, excellent heavy psych improv double LP, highly encouraged
