UFO Över Lappland

UFO Över Lappland from Umeå, Sweden are an instrumental kraut-rock band in the vein of Neu!, Amon Düül II, or early Kraftwerk, but with some post-rock sensibilities. We’re proud to re-release UFO Över Lappland’s self-titled debut album on cd/LP. The original cassette sold out very quickly in Sweden and was then picked up for cd/LP by Germany’s Sulatron Records. The original vinyl pressing of the album has sold out and, having listened to this album consistently for the last couple of years, I knew it needed to be re-issued in the US. For the btv version, the audio was cut to lacquer by Bob Weston at his Chicago Mastering Service and will be pressed on space purple/pink swirled vinyl. Their follow-up album will be released in 2021 on Burnt Toast Vinyl, as well. We are presented with four fairly lengthy instrumental tracks, fashioned from long jams and distilled down to these awesome songs presented here, on this their first record. The album starts with the twelve plus minute epic that is ‘Keep On Keepin’ On Space Truckin’, a mission statement if ever there was one, with Hawkwind immediately springing to mind, combined with the motorik, pulsating rhythms of say Neu.

Nutrition Tips for the New Year

  Sign up for the Well newsletter, for Times subscribers only.  Essential news and guidance to live your healthiest life. Well is taking a look at our coverage of food and nutrition over the past year and reflecting on what we have learned about eating (and drinking). Here are some of our favorite nuggets of healthy wisdom. Visit https://nestednaturals.com/products/luna-natural-sleep-supplement. 1. Chia seeds deserve a place in your diet. The superpowered seeds found their way into puddings, pretzels, jams and TikTok trends in 2022 as chia — once again — rose to popularity. Experts say chia seeds have earned their hype: They’re packed with fiber and rich in antioxidants. You can add a tablespoon of seeds to a smoothie or soak them in plant milk to make a snack. 2. You don’t need to throw out all the berries. A single mold-coated strawberry might look gross, but unless the other berries in the box have visible signs of spores, you can keep them in the fridge — just make sure to double-check that they’re fuzz-free before you eat them. 3. You can feel better about that morning coffee. Researchers found that people who drank 1.5 to 3.5 cups of coffee per day,…Continue readingNutrition Tips for the New Year
