Product Description
CD Description
Denmark was already cool before The Killing and Borgen. Julian Cope said Young Flowers s The Moment Life Appeared , from their first album was, magical . He also praised their totally full on freakout style and pointed to them as precursors of Krautrock. Take Warning: The Complete Studio Recordings is the first time all of Young Flowers s recordings have been brought together and anthologises both their albums, their non-album debut single, contributions to the film soundtrack Quiet Days In Clichy and a trio of live tracks which show how raw they could be. This is the Denmark of 1967-1969 at its freakiest. Young Flowers formed in summer 1967. They headlined Copenhagen s Festival of the Flower Children in September 1967. The first Danish hippy band, the first Danish rock band to sing in their native language and the first Danish band to play the States, they were pioneers. Members later played with the legendary Culpeper s Orchard and Savage Rose. They immediately hit big with debut album Blomsterpistolen (Flower Gun), recorded as the soundtrack to surreal TV series. A trio, and although influenced by Cream and The Jimi Hendrix Experience, their intense music had an experimental edge. They set Walt Whitman's poetry to music. The definitive, band-approved, collection, Take Warning: The Complete Studio Recordings is a tribute to a unique band.

Finally both Young Flowers albums released with bonus tracks and giving their first guitarist
Jens Dahl respect. It is a pity that this release does not include East-West and Spoonful which
the group played on the Danish radio and both having Jens Dahl on guitar also missing is the
Bob Dylan number Too Much of Nothing from another youth movie The Blue Lieutenant where Peer Frost
is doing the vocal however a huge bravo for this release and a further good news is that the group
is playing again as Young Flowers Reunion with Soeren Berlev from Gasolin on drums instead of the
deceased Ken Gudmand and they are just as good as they were in their heydays.

Don't let the rather lame cover photo fool you: this is psychedelic power trio at its finest. The band consisting of 3 already experienced musicians - despite their young age - with roots in the danish beat explosion (Peer Frost and Ken Gudman) and free form jazz milieu (Peter Ingemann).
Clearly inspired by Jimi Hendrix and not least Cream they produced some inventive and creative psychedelia. Like Cream all three memebers having equal status and their live peformances often turning into long improvised passages.
Here we get their 2 studio albums, the tracks they performed for the controversial "Quiet Days In Clichy" movie and their first single (with Jens Dahl on guitar). Plus 3 gorgous live tracks. In far superior sound quality to previous CD releases.
After the break up Peer Frost - a world class guitarist, had he been born in the US he would probably have been a legend today - went on to form the brilliant jazzrock band Midnight Sun Midnight Sun.
later he joined the legendary Savage Rose for one of their best albums Wild Child. But after that he dropped the music world, becoming a taxa driver and rarely recording again. While bassist Peter Ingemann and drummer Ken Gudman continued busy careers in diverse bands and as session musicians. Gudman died in 2003 from cancer - after fighting with alcohol abuse for several years.
So many 'gems' are being digged up from the 60s, not all of them equally exiting. But this is the real deal: innovative, explorative, lysergic.
