Peter Lindahl’s musical journey: “It was back in the early seventies, in those happy days of experimentation when everyone was jamming together at home or at open air festivals that things really took off for me, in the sense of my being creative. It was the age of ‘hippies’, of ‘freaking out’ and of radical movements intending to change society over night. But with me it was just a lot of fun and fooling around with every way of expression I could find, among these the most vital ones being art and music.” This is how Peter Lindahl describes his artistic upbringing during the feverish seventies. Many years later , in the nineties Peter has gained recognition with his project IN THE LABYRINTH. The material presented on this CD holds almost no similarity to IN THE LABYRINTH and is more of a compilation of Peter’s musical experimentation from the mid-sixties to the late nineties, although most of the tracks were recorded during the early seventies. “Psychedelic Sweden” is a musical reflection of when Peter had joined up with the alternative community which was growing rapidly in Sweden in the late sixties and he started to take in more psychedelic stuff, his favourites at the time being TYRANNOSAURUS REX, PUGH ROGEFELDT and PINK FLOYD.
