4 stars There might already exactly have been an element of a reflection of the age and various music if it thought about their music characters. Their music characters are guessed to have developed it with a purpose with the part derived from the influence of the genre of Music whom each member had absorbed.

There might exactly have been a flow of Acid Folk and psychedelic as a main current at time when this album was announced. They are recognized as a band that debuts from Norway. However, the music character that they are absorbed and developed. It is not simple Acid Folk.

They might have been absorbing various music since student's time. And, the music character at which they should aim might reflect some purpose and the age though this album was only left for Philips.

Existence of the musician to whom name rose by the member's remark. The existence of The Beatles, Ravi Shankar, and Joni Mitchell is spread enough to their countries. It might appear remarkably in this album. Part of good Acid Folk. And, the music character round which a pastoral melody and Raga Rock that flows overall twine and directionality. "PPM meets Ravi Shankar" This description is often used to introduce them. However, their music characters give the construction of a part calculated very much and a good melody.

The music character that Rune Walle that took charge of Nina Johansen, Sitar, and the guitar that takes charge of the song and the guitar cultivated might be remarkably reflected in the content of this album. And, the existence of Satnum Singh from India might be important for this band. The flow that not simple Acid Folk but various musical instruments and ideas are projected is united well as a flavor of Acid Folk/Raga Rock. It listens to diversity from the tune to introduce the organ and bamboo flute well.

Rune Walle that took charge of Sitar shifted to the band that was called Hole after this band. And, it shifts to the group that is called Folque further. The market of Acid Folk of Norway of this time is always supported. I feel the album of this Oriental Sunshine block various elements well overall. Good uniting as part and Folk/Raga Rock that puts out performance in band forward. Or, the construction of a pastoral melody and the tune that drifts in the whole appears well.
