About a decade ago or so, I'd never even heard of the Hookfarm label. Over time, multiple obscure titles began to pop up on my radar. Himmelexpressen was one of those new names for me. By viewing the title of Latinamerikansk Olie, one can probably surmise this to be a Latin jazz rock album. That pretty much sums it up, though there is some really fiery electric guitar solos throughout - way more than is the norm. Also unusual is the steady use of harmonica, which doesn't fit, but it's surprisingly not as annoying as it may seem. Nice flute as well. The Latin and African rhythms along with the guitar style will recall Santana, though more for the cocktail set. A grower.
Hookfarm (the parent label) apparently reissued this on CD in 2016. At first I was skeptical that it was actually released (it was certainly announced), but I found at least one Danish store that had it for sale. That doesn't mean it really is though. Discogs has it listed with the correct new catalog number. But no one claimed ownership nor were photos provided. I'll leave the CDRWL tag up for now until more data emerges.
