Description
Ruphus is one of the most significant and versatile bands on the Norwegian progressive and jazz-rock scene -
Founded in Oslo in the early 1970s, the band developed a distinctive style that blended progressive rock, jazz fusion, hard rock, and sophisticated melodic compositions. With albums such as "New Born Day," "Let Your Light Shine," and "Inner Voice," the band earned an excellent reputation far beyond Norway's borders - This release presents a previously unreleased concert recording from February 28, 1978, recorded by Radio Bremen at the Burgerzentrum Neue Vahr in Bremen.
The recording impressively demonstrates why the band is still considered an insider's tip among progressive and jazz-rock fans today. Powerful rock passages, delicate jazz elements, virtuoso solos, and the musicians' extraordinary enthusiasm combine to create a rousing live experience.
The concert showcases the full musical range of Ruphus: complex arrangements meet spontaneous improvisations, and energetic instrumental passages blend with catchy melodies. At the same time, the recording captures the unique atmosphere of an era when progressive rock and jazz fusion were among the most creative movements in European rock music.
As a special extra, the album includes the bonus track "Day After Tomorrow," recorded on October 25, 2023, at the Rockefeller Music Hall in Oslo. More than four decades after the Bremen concert, this track impressively demonstrates the band's enduring musical vitality and builds a fascinating bridge between its glorious past and its present.
"Come Into View (Live in Germany 1978)" is thus far more than a historical document. It is striking proof of the extraordinary caliber of a band that ranks among the most important representatives of Scandinavian progressive and jazz rock--and whose music has lost none of its fascination to this day.
