New #review today: "The mighty #Kryptograf is back with another tasty slab of heavy #PsychedelicRock. This isn’t the only band out there taking the sound of early #BlackSabbath (first four albums, say) and stretching it with more spaced out and trippy touches. Their self-titled debut (2020) and The Eldorado Spell (2022) were both very good albums, but Kryptonomicon ups the game once again." #ExposeOnline expose.org/index.php/articles/

New #review today: "There is a new band on #FruitsDeMerRecords, #FifthDaughter, the duo of #NicholasWhittaker (Diagonal) and #JamesHowarth (#RunningDogs, The #KLF, and Martin “Youth” Glover). Whittaker and Howarth conceived their debut album, Stellar Season, as a loose concept album about a rural society far from Earth, obsessed with summer that leads to an endless day that they eventually regret." #ExposeOnline #PsychedelicRock expose.org/index.php/articles/

Acid Mothers Temple & The Melting Paraiso U.F.O. – Troubadours From Another Heavenly World

While I haven't listened to all of AMT's records, from what I've heard, this is the most mellow. It does get loud at times, and there are bits of freak-out, but it's all so constrained and laid back. It's the perfect AMT to relax to.

CD cover with a price sticker on it that says $7.99. Purple, with a photo in the middle, with a turquoise border around it. The colours of the photo are altered to be mostly purple and turquoise. It show a group of Japanese people, three women in front, sitting on the ground, the one in the middle dressed in whitte, with flowers in her hair. 3 men, 2 women standing behind them. 1 woman sitting. Two tables between them. One acoustic guitar. Trees behind them. "Acid Mothers Temple & The Melting Paraiso U.F.O." abow the photo. "Troubadours From Another Heavenly World" underneath. Text in yellow.

New #review today: "#SchizoFunAddict was born on January 1, 2000, meaning the band is now 25 years old. They made their first appearance on #FruitsDeMerRecords in April 2008 with their freaky sci-fi cover of George Martin’s “Theme One” b/w their cover of The Small Faces’ “Ogden’s Nut Gone Flake,” the first record released by FdM." #ExposeOnline #PsychedelicRock expose.org/index.php/articles/

Sumé – Sumut (1973, Greenland)

Our next spotlight is on number 383 on The List, submitted by myself. Sumé was the first Greenlandic rock band in Greenland, making this, their debut, the first rock album released in the Greenlandic language. This language choice and the lyrics sung in that language were a revolutionary political statement. Released just 6 years before a referendum that would gain Greenland home rule and therefore greater autonomy from Denmark, the album would become a key part in Greenland’s fight for independence from Danish rule.

Sumé – Sumut (1973, Greenland)

Our next spotlight is on number 383 on The List, submitted by myself (buffyleigh).

As with our last spotlight, I came across this one while specifically searching for cool albums to include in The List. A year later, it remains one of my favourite finds for both the project and, well, ever.

Sumé was the first Greenlandic rock band in Greenland, making Sumut, their debut, to be the first rock album released in the Greenlandic language, i.e., their own language rather than the language of the Danish colonizers. Even without looking into what the lyrics mean, that language choice plus the intense artwork – a reproduction of a 19th century woodcutting by Aron of Kangeq that depicts an Inuit person standing over a Norseman they had just killed – clues the listener into the fact that this album was making a political statement.

In fact the album – released just 6 years before a referendum that would gain Greenland home rule and therefore greater autonomy from Denmark (who had ruled the island since 1814) – would become a key part in Greenland’s fight for independence from Danish rule. The lyrics were revolutionary, presenting the political concerns of the Greenlandic people as well as simply using their own voice and not the skewed (i.e., racist) voice of white colonizers to depict the day-to-day lives of Inuit people. Check out some snippets below:[1]

Track 1 – “Pivfît Nutât” (“New Times”)

I wake up – I’ve been sleeping for a long time
They tell me two and half days have gone by for two and half centuries
I realise that they’re still here
They are here to get rich and to oppress us
Greenland, “The Lands of the People”
You can’t keep sheltering your children from harm
New times have begun
The old days we have left behind

Track 4 – “Tamorassâriat” (“The First Bite of the Seal”)

My father is a great hunter
He arrives with a big catch
Those who want the first bite of the seal rush down to the beach
To get a good treat
The first bite of the seal

Track 7 – “Erĸasûteĸarneĸ” (“Worry”)

Always a colony
Always oppressed
Leadership missing
Makes you blind
Never turn your back and be silent

Track 10 – “Ukiaĸ” (“Spring”)

The Earth, because it’s always spinning
The great day darkens
Nature is transforming
My love is putting on her warm coat
…
The flower is already getting brown
And I learn that’s the way it is
Like my friend
Without hiding, it becomes the soil
…
That poor kayak, it loses its skin
Deteriorated by time
Naked, it becomes a skeleton
Its time has come

Track 11 – “Nalunaerasuartaut Toĸuvoĸ” (“The Telegraph is Dead”)

The telegraph is dead
Connection failed
What is happening in the world?
Is there peace out there?

Apparently 20%(!) of Greenland’s entire population bought Sumut. And it’s not that surprising as, apart from the lyrics that inspired the Greenlandic people to take political action, the album sounds damn good. Sumé’s style, fusing psychedelic/prog rock with some traditional Inuit sounds (particularly from drum dances), would have a great impact on future Greenlandic rock, which remains a huge genre in the country.

The band would release two more albums soon after Sumut (Inuit Nunaat in 1974 and a s/t in 1976), and then reunited in 1994 for one last album, Persersume. Twenty years later, following the first reissue of Sumut, Sumé – Mumisitsinerup Nipaa (“Sumé – The Sound of a Revolution“) was released, a 2014 Greenlandic documentary from director Inuk Silis Høegh that celebrates the band, the album, and their impact on Greenlandic history.

Methinks, given *all of this*, it’s a good time to give this album a spin.

  1. English translations aren’t in the liner notes, so these are from Genius. Hopefully they’re correct. ↩︎
The cover art is a monochromatic reproduction of a 19th century woodcutting by Aron of Kangeq that depicts an Inuit hunter standing over a Norseman they had just killed, bow in one hand and the Norseman's torn off arm in the other. They appear to be in front of water, with a hill or mountain in the background. The band's name is in black font, with the record label name (Demos) plus catalog number (13) below it. The album name is not on the cover.

Ellie!

I'm still listening to a load of Shamen stuff, and have now gone back to their debut album, Drop, when they were a kind of psychedelic rock band. This opening track, Something About You, is probably my favourite on the album. You'd never guess this lot would do Ebeneezer Goode just five years later...
