SECRET
OYSTER became somewhat of a super group when members of BURNIN'RED
IVANHOE, CORONARIAS DANS and HURDY GURDY formed this unit. By the end of
BURNIN' RED IVANHOE's career (that spawned seven years), Karsten Vogel
started forming a new band taking along with him BRI's drummer Thrige
and often jazz-partner bassist Vinding with him. Knowing from the Danish
circuit guitarist Claus Bohling, he enticed him into the band that took
its name from a track from BRI's second album Secret Oysters Service.
The last to join was keyboardist Knudsen, who had never played an
electric instrument prior to entering this outfit, but was playing in a
piano avant-garde trio. Knudsen would prove particularly helpful as the
second songwriter of the group and allowing Vogel to leave the keyboards
at will to play wind instruments.
Their sound recalled MAHAVISHNU
ORCHESTRA, NUCLEUS, Herbie Hancock's Mwandishi and Sextant albums as
well as Miles DAVIS's Bitches Brew. Quite a success and this prompted
their record company to release that album internationally but under the
title "Furtive Pearl". After a line-up changze that saw the rhythm
section get a complete overhaul (Staer for Vinding and Streenberg for
Thrige) their second album, Sea Son, is even better but failed to get
international public recognition, even if all connoisseur will mostly
agree on this album being the band's apex. At one point the line-up of
this group was also exactly the same as BURNIN' RED IVANHOE (after it
got revived because they also developed rockier material) as well as a
third outfit, "Day Of The Phoenix". This did not stop them from writing
the music to a ballet "Vidunderlinge Kaelling" released as an album
under the name of "Astarte", with very mixed results just a few months
before their final album, the much better "Straight From The
Krankenhaus" also known as "Orlander".
Aside from their confusion of
their album names and general discography, SECRET OYSTER is a great
jazz-rock/fusion outfit that deserved a lot more attention for they were
almost as good as the groups named above.
