Je viens de choper 2 LP de ce groupe suédois, mais je ne trouve pas vraiment d'infos, quelqu'un connais ?
Moi je connais (qui d'autre, hein ?

).
LXI pour vous servir : spécialiste des choses rares et difficiles à trouver (pas forcement intéressantes mais hein, elles sont rares, alors...)
J'ai les deux premiers albums.
Il est vrai que "Fisken" (la piste 2 du second album) est choucarde.
Un premier album (Nobody Wants To Be Sixteen) entièrement en anglais et grandement influencé par les Beatles et Bob Dylan (How Was Your Summer).
(J'ai déjà mis "Velvet Blue Saloon" en écoute sur le forum pour les intéressés)

Contact achieved surprisingly little recognition for their innovative albums. Their first and rarest album Nobody Wants To Be 16 (1970) was produced by Kim Fowley, who also co-wrote a couple of the songs. This was an unique, cool and relaxed mixture of Anglo-American hippie-rock and Nordic folklore with frequent use of congas, flute and acoustic/electric guitars. Try to imagine a mixture of The Beatles, Tim Buckley, Pearls Before Swine and Tyrannosaurus Rex and it sounded similar.
Hun Kom Över Mon (1971) marked a transition of style, introducing Swedish lyrics and the extensive use of fiddles. Although Contact wrote their own songs, they also incorporated fragments of folk songs into their lyrics. Those who understand Swedish will find them highly entertaining (one track even has a reference to Frank Zappa). Their mood varied from sing-a-long jolliness t melancholic and sombre. This is a highly imaginative album and sometimes reminds me of another great Swedish group - Vildkaktus.
Utmarker (1971) benefited from better production but contains more variable (and also more political) songs. Among the highlights were the moody folk-rock track "Det Är Natt" (7:11).
