Day of Phoenix - Wide Open N-Way. 1970 Denmark

Like a lot of bands from Denmark, Day of Phoenix jogs along in a loose, rambling, jammy style. For whatever reason, the last vestiges of the San Francisco psych scene could still be found in Copenhagen. Not to say that the English variety of progressive had not yet crept in - because it had - just that the outdoorsy open festival atmosphere was still prominent. The album is remarkably consistent, with the title track winning by a nose.

Ownership: CD: 1994 Repertoire (Germany). Fine reissue with liner notes for both Day of Phoenix and the Danish late 60s psychedelic scene overall. It does appear the CD is sourced from vinyl however.
