The Shiver – Walpurgis 1969 (Switzerland, Psychedelic/Progressive Rock)
  • 2 years ago
Rare and the only album of the Swiss band "The Shiver", playing at the intersection of psychedelia, blues and progressive. Each composition of the musicians once again makes you think: how complex and surprisingly diverse the progressive developed in each country separately, even if the leaders were always the UK and the USA. The album cover was created by the Swiss surrealist artist Hans Rudolf Giger (many movie lovers know him from the design of the film Alien - in 1980 the work brought the artist an Oscar). Here is the original version of the album (without bonuses).
