Denmark's Drops, 1976




A one-off fusion group from Denmark this time, information here.  Centrality of the flute as for so much Euro-fusion.  First track, with the very Hopperian title (as in Hugh) Minitransport, gives you a taste of these presumably alcoholic drops:





This track written by keyboardist Henrik Langkilde, who was in the famous proto-prog group called Thors Hammer.  On the other hand the flautist, Jesper Nehammer, appeared on the first Heavy Joker LP, a well-known fusion album you all should have already, 'with Max Leth Junior'.  Their follow up Caesars Palace, equally magnificent.  Both of these bear quite a bit of resemblance to the earlier Drops work, which is perhaps a little bit more sedate, approachable, and dare I say muzacky.

Anyways, that's Drops, part of the endless line-up of great Euro-fusion of the seventies.

  3. Thx. Had to add that Jesper Nehammer (sax,flute) also played in Entrance (Mikkelborg, Kenneth Knudsen) and with legendary acid rockers Alrune Rod. Peter ingemann was/is a legend in Danish rock right from his days in Young Flowers and have played with many of the country's most popular progressive acts.
