Our Take

CULPEPERS ORCHARD, the Danish band that sounds more British than actual Brits, have been a bit of a cult favorite among prog-folk enthusiasts for decades. Their 1971-1973 Polydor recordings have now been lovingly remastered for this new edition, giving a whole new generation of listeners the chance to hear their unique blend of folk, blues, and rock.

Mountain Music kicks off with the foot-stomping "Banjocul," a rollicking track that sets the tone for the rest of the album. With its swirling organs, intricate guitar work, and soulful vocals, Culpepers Orchard create a sound that is both timeless and ahead of its time.

Tracks like "Hey You People," with its infectious melodies and catchy hooks, showcase the band's knack for crafting irresistible tunes. Meanwhile, the epic "Living on a Farm" takes listeners on a journey through mystical landscapes and ethereal soundscapes.

Throughout the album, Culpepers Orchard display a level of musicianship that is truly impressive. Their intricate arrangements and complex song structures are a testament to their talent and creativity.

Overall, Mountain Music is a delightful journey through the minds of a band far ahead of their time. Culpepers Orchard may not have received the recognition they deserved back in the day, but this remastered edition is proof that their music is truly timeless. So grab your banjo, put on your dancing shoes, and get ready to be transported to a world of pure musical magic.
