Synopsis

Album Description
Their 1968 debut is their lightest and most charming effort. Waltzing melodies give way to thunder-of-doom bass runs, and the story-bookish lyrics have a forlorn, yearning quality. With its oddly hollow sound, one is never really sure whether the tone is supposed to be playful or ominous. 11 remastered tracks. Includes 12-page booklet withall original artwork, lyrics & liner notes plus new extensive liner notes by Thomas Koppel & an introduction by David Fricke. Universal. 2001.
 

CD Reviews

Excellent 1968 Debut Album from Savage Rose
Morten Vindberg | Denmark | 02/14/2004
(5 out of 5 stars)

"This album was quite a surprise when released in 1968. Not very much progressive rock music had come out of Denmark in those days. And suddenly "Savage Rose" was there. Great compositions in various styles. A powerful voice (Anisette). Great band, consisting ot the two brothers Thomas and Anders Koppel ( Keyboards - they wrote all the songs), Annisette (vocals), Alex Riel ( drums - already a well-known at the time), Femming Ostermann ( guitar ), Jens Rugsted ( bass) and Ilse Maria Koppel ( harpsichord).Most of the songs are incredibly strong. Great melodic tunes like "You Be Free", "Everybody Must Know", "White Swan's Marriage Clothes" and "Sleep". Powerful tracks like "Savage Rose" and "Open Air Shop". And the outstanding single "A Girl I Knew" - both catchy and haunting. No weak tracks here!"
