Sjunne Ferger was a swedish jazz and blues drummer, shifting more towards jazz after working with Don Cherry. From his ‘FAT’ Studio near the central Swedish town of Örebro, Sjunne Ferger crafted a small but radical legacy of genre bending music. With an open minded ‘anything goes’ attitude born from his jazz roots, compiled here are songs charting a transition from fusion beginnings via his debut 7″ with group ‘Exit’ through to a more blissful synthetic sound palette. Hypnotic ambient pieces written for short film swirl amongst the electronic & electrified- unreleased versions of ‘Destiny’ and ‘Candlelight’ hint at his sound to come, while the album culminates in the highlights ‘Night Rituale’ and ‘Childrens Mind’ -Intoxicating mixes of Sjunne’s influences & inspiration, they unknowingly hint at Mkwaju Ensemble and other key Japanese contemporaries, and bear witness to the Swede’s deep Eastern philosophical outlook. Retaining his own unique sound throughout, ‘Childrens Mind’ is a primer for Sjunne Ferger’s ‘Mindgames’ LP reissued on Strangelove later in 2021.

Remastered Reissue des Debütalbums 'Mind Games' des schwedischen Jazzdrummers Sjunne Ferger, das 1984 ein eigenes Hinterland der elektronisch-progressiven Musikszene Skandinaviens besiedelte, indem es Jazz-Fusion-Wurzeln und ungewollt balearische Anleihen in einem New-Wave-Kontext zu einem einzigartig klingenden Werk fliessen liess, das vielfältig und kreativ zwischen Meditation und Ekstase meandriert. Fergers persönliche Vision einer 'Polymood Music'.
