ALGARNAS TRADGARD 'Framtiden Ar Ett Svavande Skepp, Forankrat I Forntiden' Double LP (Sweden, Subliminal Sounds, Catalogue #SUB-110-LP) Brand new/unplayed copy of  year 2015 Subliminal Sounds label limited Double LP edition (edition of 700 copies) reissuing the highly revered psychedelic space rock monster album by Swedish band Algarnas Tradgard (originally issued on the Silence label in 1972.)

(NOTE: LIMITED EDITION OF 700 COPIES ONLY!)

'First ever reissue of rare underground psychedelic space rock masterpiece from Sweden 1972. From the original master tapes. Plus a bonus LP with amazing previously unreleased recordings from the same time period. Lots of photos and extensive liner notes by the band.'

'Subliminal Sounds presents a vinyl reissue of Algarnas Tradgard's 1972 debut album Framtiden Ar Ett Svavande Skepp, Forankrat I Forntiden, a rare and totally flipped-out psychedelic underground space rock masterpiece from Sweden. The band name translates to "The Garden of the Elks" and the album title to "The Future Is A Hovering Ship, Anchored In The Past." A long, long time ago, long before our time, there was a high-standing civilization on Earth. It was then that the elks lived. In their garden was a huge generator of pink glass that radiated the four elements. It was sort of a primal force for everything that one might call God. The elks eventually learned to master the matter and then went into the astral transcendental plane. Since then nobody has seen them... This reissue is a facsimile deluxe re-release from the master tapes. Includes additional LP with previously unreleased recordings from the same time period. Features never before seen photos and liner notes by the band.'

'The Garden Of The Elks (as their name translates) made some captivating music, similar to International Harvester and Handgjort but with an unique artistic vision. Side one of their album contained just two long tracks (with far longer titles) where bit and pieces of Swedish folk music were wrapped in psychedelic wallpaper and countless studio effects, recalling Pink Floyd's Ummagumma - except that Sisyphus is rolling a massive snowball up a pinewood hillside inhabitated by Scandinavian trolls. Side two had a few contributions from Margareta Soderberg singing in an old traditional folk style, but with the most unlikely accompaniment imaginable. The album is a masterpiece rivaling the best in Europe.' - Dag Erik Asbjornsen/Scented Gardens Of The Mind

- "...the first and better of storied Swedish space rock band Älgarnas Trädgård's two LPs... stands in stark contrast to the seductive, hyper-modern otherworlds that Can and Eno were fabricating during the same period, and with social scientists telling us that we're no happier now than we were a half-century ago, Framtiden's grim forecasts now appear alarmingly accurate." --Stylus
