Bo Hansson Attic Thoughts (Album)

 Bo Hansson (10 April 1943 – 23 April 2010)^[1] was a Swedish musician best known for his four instrumental albums released in the 1970s.

Recording and release

The album was recorded during 1974 and 1975 at Studio Decibel in Stockholm, and at Hansson's home, which had virtually become a studio by this point in his career.^[3][4] The album featured contributions from many of the same session musicians and friends that had played on Hansson's previous album, Magician's Hat.^[4] In addition to featuring Hansson's usual blend of other-worldly progressive rock and fairy tale-like ambiance, Attic Thoughts includes a suite named "Rabbit Music", which was inspired by Richard Adams' novel Watership Down, a subject which Hansson would explore further on his 1977 album Music Inspired by Watership Down.^[5]

In Hansson's native Sweden, Attic Thoughts was released with the Swedish title of Mellanväsen.^[6] It was released with its English title in April 1975 by Charisma Records,^[2][7] but was less commercially successful than Hansson's preceding solo albums and failed to reach the charts in the UK or the United States.^[5][8][9]

Bo Hansson - Music inspired by Lord of the Rings

 Bo Hansson (10 April 1943 – 23 April 2010)^[1] was a Swedish musician best known for his four instrumental albums released in the 1970s.

Music Inspired by Lord of the Rings is an instrumental progressive rock album by Swedish musician Bo Hansson.^[1] As its title suggests, it is a concept album based on author J. R. R. Tolkien's high fantasy novel, The Lord of the Rings.^[2] The album was originally issued in Sweden in late 1970, under the Swedish title of Sagan om ringen, and was subsequently re-released internationally as Music Inspired by Lord of the Rings in September 1972.^[3][4]

The album reached the Top 40 of the UK Album Chart^[5] and was eventually certified gold in the UK and Australia.^[6] It was also moderately successful in America, where it reached number 154 on the Billboard Top LPs & Tapes chart.^[7] Music Inspired by Lord of the Rings remains the only release by Hansson to have reached the UK and US charts and as a result, it is by far his best known and most successful album.^[4][5][8]

B̤o̤ H̤a̤n̤s̤s̤o̤n̤ | M̤a̤gi̤c̤i̤a̤n̤'s̤ H̤a̤t̤ Full Album (1973)

 Bo Hansson (10 April 1943 – 23 April 2010)^[1] was a Swedish musician best known for his four instrumental albums released in the 1970s.

Recording and release

The genesis of the album can be traced back to the early 1970 recording sessions for Hansson's first solo album, Music Inspired by Lord of the Rings.^[4] As work on that album neared completion, the prolific Hansson also began working on additional material that was not intended for the album.^[4][5] After his debut album had been released in December 1970,^[6] Hansson continued to work on these left-over fragments and also composed additional material at his summer house in the Stockholm archipelago.^[5] Recording sessions for Magician's Hat took place at Studio Decibel in Stockholm, with contributions from a number of session musicians, including Rune Carlsson, Gunnar Bergsten, and Sten Bergman, all of whom were veterans of Hansson's first solo album.^[3]

Tangerine Dream "Bent Cold Sidewalk"

 Tangerine Dream is a German electronic music band founded in 1967 by Edgar Froese. The group has seen many personnel changes over the years, with Froese having been the only continuous member until his death in January 2015. The best-known lineup of the group was its mid-1970s trio of Froese, Christopher Franke, and Peter Baumann. In 1979, Johannes Schmoelling replaced Baumann. Since Froese's death in 2015, the group has been under the leadership of Thorsten Quaeschning (Froese's chosen successor and the current longest-serving band member, having joined in 2005). He is joined by violinist Hoshiko Yamane who joined in 2011, Ulrich Schnauss who joined in 2014 and Paul Frick who joined in 2020.

 Οι στίχοι του πανέμορφου,λυρικού και συνάμα υπνωτικού τραγουδιού,έχουν αρκετά βαθύ νόημα και είναι ένα τέλειο δείγμα της φιλοσοφίας των Tangerine Dream,του σημαντικότερου Γερμανικού γκρούπ ηλεκτρονικής / ψυχεδελικής ροκ μουσικής, βασισμένο στα συνήθη τους αγαπημένα θέματα του χρόνου, του χώρου και του κόσμου γύρω μας. Υπέροχο σε σύλληψη το βίντεο του Τάσου Δημητριάδη και τον ευχαριστώ που πρόθυμα δεχτηκε να ζωντανέψει οπτικά το κομμάτι. " Cyclone " (1978.Virgin), was a stepping stone for Tangerine Dream, into a whole new world of guitar-based psychedelic rock.The intro to Bent Cold Sidewalk features processed electronic vocals. Although they sound quite eerie and set a precedent for the album, the fact that they are hard to understand kills the message of the strangely pensive lyrics.
