(2020) VA - Living On the Hill: A Danish Underground Trip 1967-1974



Review:
As the counterculture movements of the late 1960s rippled across various parts of the globe, each region seemed to develop its own musical response based on a collision of outside influences, regional characteristics, and the creative spark of mind-expanding drugs. While America and Britain are generally considered to have filled psychedelic rock’s high court, they are by no means its only vital contributors. Championed by prominent eccentrics like John Peel and Julian Cope, Denmark’s underground rock movement was a particularly fertile one, producing an array of challenging acts like Young Flowers, Ache, and Burnin’ Red Ivanhoe, all of whom get their due on Cherry Red’s excellent Living on the Hill: A Danish Underground Trip 1967-1974. As with all the British label’s archival sets, the scene’s major and minor players are exhumed and copiously annotated, from the surprisingly heavy prog leanings of Copenhagen’s Culpeper’s Orchard — check out Nils Henriksen’s muscular guitar work on “Mountain Music (Part One)” — to Day of Phoenix’s sweet folk-rock yearnings on the dreamy “Tell Me,” which sounds like a Scandinavian cousin to Fairport Convention’s “Time Will Show the Wiser.” The three-disc compilation deftly distributes its focus to the underground scene’s assorted corners from deeply cerebral head trips (try Alrune Rod’s trippy “Natskyggevej” or Secret Oyster’s “Mind Movie”) to groovy jazz-funk odysseys (Rainbow Band and Blast Furnace) and bluesy hard rock jams (Hurdy Gurdy and some of Burnin’ Red Ivanhoe’s less opulent cuts). Like a lot of experimental music, a little goes a long way, but even songs that tend to wear out their welcome retain the sense of freshness and youthful discovery that so defined this era. That music like this is still being re-examined decades later is a testament to it being one of rock’s most exciting periods, and it seems the Danes had just as much to offer as other better-known cultures.
