The re-release of the 2 seminal psych/prog albums by SAN
MICHAEL’s, the self-titled (1971) one and Nattåg (1972), overlaps not at all
coincidentally with the appearance of Kaipa’s 15th studio album
Sommargryningsljus, as the fabular universe of the latter revolves around counterfactual
rebirth, that is, becoming (re)born as one is getting older. These 2 evergreen
albums, essential for savvy collectors of Scandinavian psych/prog, showcase the
smooth progression towards Kaipa’s sonic multiverse, bordering on the porous
dividing line between psychedelia (with a Made-in-Sweden pedigree) and European
progressive, and driven by Hans Lundin’s ferocious organ-playing that
alternates between swirling ultra-groovy psychedelia and imposing kraut-ish
segments. Both albums, produced by Leif Mases, have been remastered by sound
meister Martin Igelström for your maximum audio pleasure, and come in
ultra-limited pressings of 300 numbered copies. The first 100 copies in black
vinyl + 2-page insert with bio and rare studio and live photos + a band photo signed by all original band
members, while the rest 200 in splatter (1st ) and marble (Nattag) vinyl. The
100 pressings with the signed photo are only available during the preselling
phase and only through PQRDirect’s webstore.
NB: Not
to be confused with St. Mikael or Cosmic Michael.
