panta rei

Panta Rei is attributed to Heraticlus thoughts about change meaning 'everything flows' in ancient Greek. And this is exactly what you get in this album. Originally issued on the Harvest label in 1973, this is a wonderful stream of trippy Heavy Swedish prog with an intensely groovy jazz-rock & fuzz oriented approach that comes close to Frank Zappa circa "Hot rats", with some spacey-freaked-out atmospheres and an underlying Canterbury feel. The guitar work is predominant and menacing, whereas the all English lyrics and the rich musical texture that feeds on layers of flutes, maracas, timbales, harmonica and impressive percussion, make for a truly majestic album. Exact reissue fully licensed directly by EMI Sweden. Limited to 600 copies in black vinyl. Albums have a special coloured label with engraved gold foil."
