Nice Not To Be Here (Bonus Tracks 1976-2008)

by Rascal Reporters

supported by

James Strain Fantastic compilation of unused RR tracks and takes from throughout the years. Most of this music is the same as their album quality, so there's really a lot to dig into. So good Favorite track: Another Nutty "Life and Death" Thing.

Les accents Canterbury décalés. La belle ambiance Rock In Opposition. Et puis je puise beaucoup dans le catalogue Cuneiform Records et Thinking Plague, je les connais ainsi depuis des lustres, fallait bien que je passe un peu à la caisse ! Jean Argenty

Another little gem from the more accessible end of Cuneiform Records adventuruous offerings. This time it's the last album of the late Lars Hollmer (whom I admittedly didn't know before stumbling over this), accordion-laden, instrumental retro prog with more than a hint to Swedish folklore.
