1974 war ein ziemlich ereignisreiches Jahr für die ehemaligen Musiker von Burnin Red Ivanhoe. In verschiedenen Konstellationen war man in den Bands Secret Oyster, Mermaid und Day Of Phoenix aktiv. Zudem kam es, nachdem sich die Formation Ende 1972 aufgelöst hatte, auch zu einer Wiedervereinigung von Burnin Red Ivanhoe selbst. Angeblich hatte Karsten Vogel einige Stücke komponiert, die ihm aber als zu rockig für sein Projekt Secret Oyster erschienen. Kurzerhand stellte er daher eine Band zusammen, der neben seinen ehemaligen Burnin-Red-Ivanhoer-Kollegen (ohne Kim Menzer) auch Kenneth Knudsen (von Secret Oyster) und Karsten Lyng (von Day of Phoenix) angehörten. Das eingespielte Material erschien 1974 als "Right on" auf LP, und zwar wieder unter dem Bandnamen Burnin Red Ivanhoe. Offenbar, wie die Live-CD "Live 1970-74" zeigt, gab die Band (ohne Knudsen und Lyng, aber mit Menzer?) in jenem Jahr auch einige Konzerte.

"Right on" ist eine etwas rockigere und auch geradlinigere Angelegenheit als die ersten vier Alben der Band. Ein gewisser typischer Burnin-Red-Ivanhoe-Sound lässt sich allerdings trotzdem noch ausmachen. Locker und beschwingt kommt die Musik aus den Boxen und weist immer wieder sehr jazzige Momente auf, die von Vogels typischem Saxophonspiel bestimmt werden. "La Bearte Du Buste" und das abschließende "Accident After The Carcrash" würden auf einem Secret-Oyster-Album wohl nicht weiter auffallen und zeichnen sich vor allem durch das vielseitige Wechselspiel von E-Piano, Gitarre und Sax aus. Die restlichen Stücke sind deutlich rockiger ausgefallen und nähern sich stellenweise britischen Hardrock-Vorbildern an (Uriah Heep). Insbesondere die krachig-grollende Bassarbeit und der stellenweise recht expressive Gesang sind neue Elemente in der Musik der Dänen. Mit "When I Look Into Your Eyes" gibt es auch die dazu passende Ballade. Allerdings arbeitet sich die Jazzrockvergangenheit der Band immer wieder nach vorne. Insbesondere im langen "Rokin Rambler" wechseln sich jazzigere und rockigere Momente, Saxsoli und Tastenausflüge gekonnt ab und bilden so eine abwechslungsreiche Jazzprog-Suite. Alles in allem bietet die Scheibe meist sehr druckvolle Musik, die durchaus Spaß macht, wenn man sie auch nicht mehr zu den klassischen Alben der Band zählen kann. (http://www.babyblaue-seiten.de)

The selftitled second Studio Album from Danish act Burnin´ Red Ivanhoe was released in 1970. The debut album from 1969 called M144 is a really excellent album and one of the most important Danish progressive releases. Burnin´ Red Ivanhoe even enjoyed some success in both UK, Germany and the rest of the Scandinavian countries which was ( and still is) very rare for a Danish band.

The music is bluesy jazz/ rock very much in the vein of bands like Colosseum and Audience. On this second album there is a much more dominant experimental jazz/ rock touch to songs like Canaltrip and Secret Oyster Service compared to the style on the debut, while the blues influence is clearly heard on Rotating Irons and Across the Windowsill. Near the Sea is a mellow song. Gong-Gong, The Elephant Song is also in experimental jazz/ rock territory with dominant brass work. The main theme reminds me a bit about The Mothers of Invention ( King Kong). There is also a harmonica solo in that song.

The musicianship is excellent. Burnin´ Red Ivanhoe was and still is one of the most accomplished bands in Denmark. The two brass players Kim Menzer and Karsten Vogel dominate the music but the vocals from Ole Fick which this time is solely sung in English are also really good. Jess Stæhr on bass and Bo Thrige Andersen on drums also makes for a really tight and excellent rythm section.

The production is excellent. Organic, pleasant and well sounding. (Umur)

6 Elefantskovcikadeviser is the fourth studio album from Danish progressive jazz/ rock act Burnin´ Red Ivanhoe. Or rather it´s a collaboration between Burnin´ Red Ivanhoe and Danish folk singer Povl Dissing. Poul Dissing was and still is one of the most prolific musicians on the Danish music scene. Ask any Dane and they will know who Povl Dissing is. His most famous work is called Svantes Viser and it´s an album he did in collaboration with prolific Danish poet and author Benny Andersen.

Burnin´ Red Ivanhoe´s normal progressive jazz/ rock approach has been left in the background on 6 Elefantskovcikadeviser which is basically a folk rock album with Danish sung lyrics. Burnin´ Red Ivanhoe is known for their elaborate intrumental sections, but on this album the instrumentation is a bit more stripped down.

The album consists of nine tracks, but there are really only six real songs on the album as Introduction sigvaldi, Kometen v sigvaldi and Introduction til Medardus are basically only some live talking. Wallifanten is the first real song and it´s great. One of the best songs on the album. It´s also the first song where we´re introduced to Povl Dissing´s characteristic voice. Narrevise is the next song. Again it´s a great folky track but it´s the next song Snehvidekys ( Snowwhite Kiss) which takes the price as the best song on the album for me. It ´s an extremely beautiful and emotionally sung love song that really moves me. Ta fri ta fri us another great bluesy folk rock song and the same can be said about Et Samfund which is the only song on the album where Povl Dissing doesn´t sing. Ole Fick handles the vocals on this song as he usually does on Burnin´ Red Ivanhoe´s albums. Tingel-Tangelmanden is a reworking of the original track from the debut and it has extensive soloing during it´s 10:27 minutes and some great vocals from Povl Dissing. This is probably the song that will be most enjoyable for fans of the first three classic albums from the band ( M144, Burnin´ Red Ivanhoe and W.W.W.).

The musicianship is as always excellent even though this music is much more basic than the more challenging playing which takes place on the first three albums from the band. Povl Dissing will be an aquired taste, first of all because he sings in Danish but also because of his distinct vocal style which will probably scare some people away( he is very famous in Denmark because of his vocal style and his poetic lyrics). Despite of the lineup info here on PA, the sleeve notes on the original album says that it´s the same lineup who recorded W.W.W. who also recorded this album just with the addition of Povl Dissing on the latter.

The production is excellent. Nothing to complain about there.

6 Elefantskovcikadeviser is not an album that will satisfy many visitors here on PA and it has something to do with knowing the Danish language because half of the enjoyment here IMO is the way Povl Dissing sings the poetic lyrics and that part unfortunately gets lots in translation. But for people who like folk rock with a bluesy touch this might be an enjoyable album anyway. I like the album so I´ll rate it 3 stars. (Umur)

W.W.W. is the third studio album from Danish progressive jazz/ rock band Burnin´ Red Ivanhoe. I´m a big fan of the debut album called M144 from the band while the selftitled second album went too far into jazz territory for my taste. It´s still a good album though. With W.W.W. Burnin´ Red Ivanhoe returns to the more psychadelic leanings of the debut while still maintaining their jazzy edge.

The change in style compared to the predecessor is very obvious when listening to the first couple of songs on W.W.W. Karsten Vogel plays the organ instead of his characteristic sax on both the opener Second Floor, Croydon, the second song W.W.W. and the third song Avez-Vous Kaskelainen while Kim Menzer plays the flute rather than his usual sax. This change in intrumentation really gives those songs a different sound to the normally very sax dominated Burnin´ Red Ivanhoe we´re used to. The sax does return later on the album but never in the jazzy way it´s used on the predecessor. There are vocals on Second Floor, Croydon, All About All and Oblong Serenade while the rest of the songs are instrumental. My favorites here are Second Floor, Croydon and Oblong Serenade with it´s characteristic trombone theme. The only song I don´t enjoy much is the psychadelic organ dominated title track. It´s way too long and really isn´t very interesting.

The musicianship is excellent. On W.W.W. we really get to hear every facette of Burnin´ Red Ivanhoe´s sound from jazz/ Rock to psychadelic rock to more progressive moments like the ending of Second Floor, Croydon. The interplay between these musicians is magical IMO.

The production is really good and pleasant. Very organic just like the sound on the first two albums.

W.W.W. is a really good album and even though it´s not as challenging as it´s predecessor or as groundbreaking as the debut from Burnin´ Red Ivanhoe it´s a pretty unique album from the band. (http://www.progarchives.com)
