On Sukram Gurk (1972) the band turned to the organ, opening with the roughly 16-minute "Milk Blue Mind", a repeated chant that opens into free improvisation.

The sound of the album takes it all one step further, turning into an electric storm, yet retaining the free psychedelic improvisation feel of its predecessor. The Wah Wah reissue is made in cooperation with Thom Argauer family, it has been cut from the original master tapes, has ori…
