Tussilago Fanfara (1977)
---12/30/10
Anna Själv Tredje were very much in the Tangerine Dream / Klaus Schulze electronic genre, but with a distinct Swedish twist and some wonderful offbeat space jams with lead electric guitar. Features one of my all time favorite album covers!
---7/5/25
A succinct review, but it does capture all the ingredients. This is my first listen since the CDRWL revisit. A very interesting one-off, the album captures all that was great about the 70s electronic movement. The use of electric guitar adds the space rock feel that we also hear in bands like Ashra, and especially those in France like Richard Pinhas / Heldon, and Hydravion. Some of the more static and academic electronic recalls very early Klaus Schulze at the time of Irrlicht or Cyborg. Trance inducing.
Tussilago Fanfara remains one of the most requested albums for a reissue of any sort (as of 7/13/25), as originals have skyrocketed in recent times. I acquired my copy when it was still relatively cheap to obtain (and brand new no less).
And yea, I still agree that the cover is mind melting. It's on regular display here at Casa UMR.
