RIP my friend in wizardry ;_;

oh man hadn't heard. vila i frid, bo.

Oh shit. Gonna have to pull out a tribute radio show.
Bo Hansson has an organ in the woods!

oh my dammit!

Awww dang. RIP my favorite hobbit.

RIP

That LotR album has some funky jams, he'll be missed.

same here

is the hansson & karlson stuff good

YES! I've only heard "Tax Free" but it is awesome. Would like to hear more.

oh yeah they're pretty good. that compilation from 98, which i think is more or less everything proper they ever recorded on one disc, shouldn't be hard to come by. not sure about the albums

What a shame. RIP big guy.

I can't believe it took this thread to introduce me to the LOTR album! So good... reminiscent in some ways of Popol Vuh. RIP, sorry I didn't know you.

Anyone who wants more of that sweet Bo Hansson sound should check out Bjorn Olsson's "Instrumental music" album from '99. It's like a "LOTR" tribute album (using some of Bo's old gear? I might have that part confused with Sagor and Swing).

RIP

^There is a song on that album that nicks the organ riff from "The Black Riders."
The community radio station I volunteer at has Hansson's "Music for Watership Down" which I've never seen mentioned anywhere, come to think of it.
It's not even as good as Attic Thoughts, though.

Your search - "Music for Watership Down" bo hansson - did not match any documents.

My bad, I guess it's called "Music Inspired by Watership Down."

Hey, that's my line! I mean, I'm always telling dudes who are into the Hansson/Popol Vuh sound they need to hear it, it's great. I wonder if it's been reissued or it's still only Omplatten (RIP) copies going around.

Has Bjorn Olsson ever done anything else?

Not to derail thread. Very sad about Hansson obv.

Björn Olsson released a bunch of instrumental folky albums in the early 00's that were pretty good

Oh yeah, and I think it was Sagor om Swing who used Hansson's gear.

blergh sad...lotta great records, this guy

The actual film score for WD is pretty great BTW, nice orchestral tone painting of the pastoralist/impressionist persuasion, composed by Angela Morley who before her surgery was Wally Stott, the genius arranger of the orchestral stuff on the first few Scott Walker records. Sorry for tangential content.

i wonder if he would just leave that outside, maybe put a tarp over it

Amplified organ + trees & water = perfect existence.

I don't really agree with that PSF summary of Hansson's output. Magician's Hat is AWESOME imo.
Still nice to get some info on the Bro.

and there yet remains languishing a legendary 4-hour tape of a jam 'twixt he, Hansson, a drummer, and George Wadenius on rhythm guitar.

!
