*. Mánar .* (Remaster)

Album: Mánar (1971)(Remaster 1992)
Genre: Prog Rock (Folk/Hard Rock/Psychedelic)  /  Iceland

Song oriented organ/guitar based rock, typical of the early 70s Scandinavian style. Sometimes recalls bands such as Junipher Greene and Thors Hammer, though Manar are a bit duller than that may imply. Nice flute work. Decent period piece and ranks ahead of other similar Icelandic bands such as Trubrot and Odmenn.
