Nickie Harte Kelly A long-awaited recording for me is this gem from Sweden’s Peter Lindhal, with his array of too many ethnic instruments to list, and talented friends on several others that he has brought on to round out the project. The sound is psychedelic folk, with forays into early and medieval music, but often tackling more contemporary themes. Favorite track: SANCTUS.

To our rescue If the gulf stream were to slow down And the jet streams faded away Even if God would come to our rescue Maybe he’d be here a little too late You can call it mass-pollution but it’s really suicide Killing this planet and all of its children Spreading our madness far and wide In the shanty towns of Mumbai In the slums of Sao Paulo No one can find a grand solution Nobody knows just where to go But there’s one thing that I’m sure of That the end is coming soon If we don’t change our way of living Man will face his final doom If the gulf stream changed direction And the good earth wilted away Even if God would come to our resce Maybe he’d be here a little too late To our rescue (to our rescue) To our rescue (to our rescue) To our rescue (to our rescue) To our rescue (to our rescue) Music & words: Peter Lindahl

The black plague The black plague is coming to town People don't you hang around When the plague children knock on your door Then it's over for ever more With blood red sails across the sea The diabolic plague awaits on thee The merchants of death are taking you in You should have done something about your sins The black plague is on the lose There's nothing in the world that you can do An alien disease with fangs of fire Will spread it's fever from shire to shire With blood red sails across the sea The diabolic plague awaits on thee The vendors of death riding high on the wind It's time to pay for all your sins Written by Peter Lindahl/ Stefan Andersson

Vegetable man In yellow shoes I get the blues So I walk the street with my plastic feet With blue velvet trousers make me feel pink There's a kind of stink about blue velvet trousers In my paisley shirt I look a jerk And my turquoise waistcoat is quite out of sight But oh oh my haircut looks so bad So I change my gear and I find my knees And I cover them up with the latest cut And my pants and socks, a vault in a box It don't take long to buy nylon socks, The watch, black watch My watch with a black face And a date in a little hole And all the lot is what I've got It's what I wear, it's what you see It must be me, it's what I am A vegetable man Where are you? Vegetable man Where are you? I've been lookin' all over the place for a place for me But it aint anywhere I've been lookin' all over the place for a place for me It just aint anywhere I've been lookin' all over the place for a place for me It just aint anywhere I've been lookin' all over the place for a place for me Music & words: Syd Barrett Arranged by Peter Lindahl

Mr MINISTER 06:19
Mr Minister Hey Mr Minister What are you gonna do? Now that they are on your trail And truth is catching up with you You're in high places You got a finger in every one's pie Got the world at your feet now With that winning senator's smile But sooner or later you have it coming to you They're gonna hunt you down and show us the truth Step on the accelerator and push it fast as you can You got your dick in a vise now and your head in the sand A tightrope dancer caught up in a dream You're a trixter prancer with all your heartless sceams You can no longer hide it, now it's caught up with you Hey Mr minister you got it coming to you There's nothing you can do Now it's caught up with you So Mr Minister, where is all this coming to? Caught with you pants down Your solicitor's praying for you One foot on Wall street and the other one in the stew Yeah you're the razamataz man Who knows his time is through A tightrope dancer caught up in a dream You're a trixter prancer with all your heartless sceams You can no longer hide it, now it's caught up with you Hey Mr minister, the walls are closing in on you There's really nothing you can do Now it's caught up with you Music & words: Peter Lindahl

A Q BLUES 04:55
A Q blues Once there was a fuhrer and his lover Eva Braun They planned for white salvation spreading terror all around They butchered little children and made lampshades from their skin And fortified the madness they'd kept hidden deep within Well tyrants come and tyrants go but in the end they fall It's like Mohandas told us when he tried to stop the war Though little did he know of holocausts in days to come No no one could have realized the damage that's been done So what makes you so different from the ones who went before? You claim it's for the sake of God to make this holy war That jihad is the sollution, it's the only way to choose But all you have to offer are these A Q blues Now they're burning the Quran What a low down crying shame! An eye for an eye This whole world has gone insane An eye for an eye We're all caught in a losing game Music & words: Peter Lindahl

Waiting for a miracle to happen - part 2 Waiting for a miracle to set us on the right track Armagedon’s on the loose, now there’s no turning back Out of reach and out of luck, yes we are out of control Just like little Alice chasing rabbits down in a hole Waiting for God’s angels to relieve us from all our sin We need to get a message through but there’s nobody in Words & music: Peter Lindahl

about

In the Labyrinth Stockholm, Sweden

In The Labyrinth is an experimental musical project based in Stockholm, Sweden, and is led by Peter Lindahl. The main concern is to mix a wide array of styles to create a symbiosis quite unlike most music heard of today. You could define it as progressive rock with a strong ethnical element or almost like an early Pink Floyd adorned with both classical and oriental overtones. ... more
