Solaris ~ Norway

Misty Morning (1977)

Solaris play a mix of what is commonly known as West Coast psychedelic mixed with laid back AOR music - and a bit of country rock. A very obscure album, though not necessarily expensive. Misty Morning is something of a disappointment if you're looking for underground progressive oriented sounds. There are, however, a few enjoyable tracks here from a melodic standpoint, though it's more the domain of the American radio mindset. Makes one wonder why these Norwegians were so conservative when they had the opportunity to do whatever they wanted to. As an aside, Ole G Nilssen is one of the members of Solaris, and his solo album World of Dreams is about as rare as Misty Morning.

Reissued on CD in 2022.
