Savage Rose - Dodens Triumf

An unheralded landmark in art rock, this features Savage Rose keyboardist Thomas Koppel's score for a ballet by Fleming Flindt (the title translates to 'Triumph of Death'). Nearly entirely instrumental (one song features Annisette on vocals), this is one of the finest classically influenced rock records. Moody and melancholy, at times almost doomy, yet always melodic, this 40-minute selection of haunting pieces prominently features the group's unique underwater organ sound and makes for compelling listening. Remastered reissue includes 8-page booklet with all original artwork & liner notes plus new extensive liner notes by Thomas Koppel, & introduction by David Fricke from Rolling Stone Magazine. Universal Music. 2001.
