Ralph Lundsten "Fadervar"

This was featured in the guidebook OBSCURE SOUND REVISED EDITION. This is an album by Swedish national composer and electronic musician Ralph Lundsten, released in 1972. It is music for The Cramer-Ballet Dances' performance 'Fadervar', choreographed by Ivo Cramer. From a trip-inducing intro with an effective chorus by the children of Saltangen School and the sound of thunder, A1 develops into a spiritual world with a solemn organ in a forest where birds are singing, and A2, with resonant electronic sounds and gentle pad sounds that beat rhythmically as if they were breathing. It is a total concept album that creates a three-dimensional sound production of a prayer to God, and is organic trip electronics that expresses Ralph Lundsten's unique view of nature and the universe. The core sound of this album is not ballet music, and the quality is astonishing for 1972.

A1: Invocation - Our Father which Art in Heaven

A2: Prayer 1 - Hallowed be Thy Name

B1: Prayer 4 - Give Us This Day Our Daily
