Arabs in Aspic - Strange Frame Of Mind - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Hailing from Trondheim in Norway, Arabs in Aspic has been mid-Norway's flagship of 70s inspired progressive rock and proto-hardrock for the past 15 years. They've been described as a sweet mixture of loud, heavy guitars and drums, 12 string acoustics, funky bass and percussion, screaming Hammond organs, soft Rhodes, Mellotrons and 70s Synths, topped with plentiful vocal harmonies.The bands first effort was the mini-album InchProgeriaInch, which was released in 2003 on CD only. In their humble start, the band can be described as a mixture of the psychedelic space rock akin to Hawkwind and the heaviness and darkness of early Black Sabbath. At the time of , they had done a lot of demos and were very active as a live band in the Trondheim area. Their rehearsal space was located at the club house of Hells Angels in Trondheim, which the police didn't like as several of the members was semi-pro ski jumping athletes, and sport and Hells Angels wasn't a good mix.1.

Pictures in a Dream is the fourth album from Trondheim's finest prog band Arabs in Aspic. Originally released by the Italian tag Black Widow Records in 2013, the album received great immediate feedback internationally and resulted in a good amount of concerts on the continent. Their love for experimenting with sounds and recordings shines through on this album, with some rather unconventional solutions - Using lots of microphones to capture the sound of the room instead of the sources, 9 microphones for the Hammond organ, and so on... This resulted in a lot of tweaking and not so much control - but definitely a different sound than what was common in 2013. A concert with Ruphus and Høst in Body in 2010 resulted in legendary Ruphus singer Rune Sundby guesting on two songs on the album.This re- is based on all of the original recordings, but everything is re-edited and remixed from scratch. Some of the pitfalls of the many microphones in the room have been removed. Some of the vocals/lyrics have been replaced with lyrics from the archive - and some new ideas, to make the album as good as possible. A few instrumental overdubs have also been done. The result is a more punchy, clean version of the album. The band has also changed the song sequence to create a new listening experience with a quite different mood than the original .- Fourth album from Arabs in Aspic, finally back in print- For fans of Black Sabbath, Hawkwind, King Crimson, Pink Floyd, Uriah Heep + + +- Remastered by Jacob Holm-Lupo1.
