Informationen zum Artikel: I've been a big fan of Strange Flowers ever since I first heard them, live, at the Beat-O-Mania Festival in Munich, Germany in 1994. On a bill that featured bands specializing in 60's garage punk, Strange Flowers stood out like a sore thumb. Their gentle, melodic psychedelia was almost transcendental. They broke up soon after, and so I was more than a little surprised to discover that they'd recently reunited. Strange Flowers indeed. What could be stranger than an Italian band (from the Rock 'n' Roll capital of the world, Pisa, no less) reforming to once again bestow their unique brand of psychedelia on a generation so far removed from true music as to render it practically obsolete? Obviously Strange Flowers have no delusions of grandeur. And I'm damn glad, because music this good deserves more than a quick rise to the top, only to be later discarded like any other trend. Music this good is timeless. Escape into it now. You may just stay there! - Rudi Protrudi 2005
