KLAUS CORNELL & OPEN MUSIC GROUP "CIRCLE OF DREAMS" (HALLELUJAH, 1974)



We got this vinyl-rip several month ago in the contributions section.
I do not find the comment with the link anymore. So my apologies to the generous contributor.
But thanks to corvimax I know now: it is Sven. Thank you Sven for this really special music!!

The LP wasn't in a NM condition - so I've removed many louder clicks 'n' pops during the last three month.

The music has a decidedly 1970s feel. But IMO it's really an independent statement. Not Rock, not Jazz and not Contemporary Classic either.  Somehow I remembered a famous advertisement from  ~1968 (here)  after listening again to the 'Circle of dreams'.

  2. Thank you, Corvimax for Sven's name. Don't expect too much from my cleaning-attempts...
    The LP has a continous crackle - but I tried to "enhance" the overall acoustic feeling.
    And thanks you Sven for this treasure.
