San Michael's

*100 copies limited edition black vinyl* The re-release of the 2 seminal psych/prog albums by San Michael’s, the self-titled (1971) one and Nattåg (1972), overlaps not at all coincidentally with the appearance of Kaipa’s 15th studio album Sommargryningsljus, as the fabular universe of the latter revolves around counterfactual rebirth, that is, becoming (re)born as one is getting older. These 2 evergreen albums, essential for savvy collectors of Scandinavian psych/prog, showcase the smooth progression towards Kaipa’s sonic multiverse, bordering on the porous dividing line between psychedelia (with a Made-in-Sweden pedigree) and European progressive, and driven by Hans Lundin’s ferocious organ-playing that alternates between swirling ultra-groovy psychedelia and imposing kraut-ish segments.

Both albums, produced by Leif Mases, have been remastered by sound meister Martin Igelström for your maximum audio pleasure, and come in ultra-limited pressings of 300 numbered copies. The first 100 copies in black vinyl + 2-page insert with bio and rare studio and live photos + a band photo signed by all original band members, while the rest 200 in splatter (1st ) and marble (Nattag) vinyl.
