" A few years ago one began to hear from Scandinavia of a brilliant organist, Bo Hansson. He formed that rarity, a rock duo, with a fellow Swede, Janne Karlsson., The two toured regularly from '67 througsh '69, and released three albums, now something of collectors' pieces. Few British musicians of the time were unaware of them; Jimi Hendrix not only jammed regularly with them but invited them to tour with his "Experience". Bo split to concentrate on writing. Professor Tolkien's trilogy fascinated him, reached deep into his remote and rather other-wordly nature. The music thus inspired was recorded. in a rented house on an island off Stockholm."
