Fim Froil

Fim Froilthe long-cherished dream of Riff (Cosmic Gardeners) and Limo finally becomes reality in 1998. Riff and Limo, friends and musical fellows since the mid-70ies meet again and again, if with their early tape-bands of the Servil-label like Pure Luege, Eyes Of Fate and the Kannibalen & Missionare or with the Shiny Gnomes when Riff plays his sitar on three albums by the Gnomes (Wild Spells, Some Funny Nightmares, Colliding). Hopefully Riff and Limo doesn´t need another 15 years for their second Fim Froil album….

Review :
“Fim Froil is an unbelievable sonic mixture that fluctuates in an universe still more expanded. A touch always soft and impregnate of nature where game and mystery develop a dear role to any of the plans that Limo and Riff conduct separately. The enigmatic stroboscope Discolor and Shiny Gnomes (Limo) dance on the playful grid of Cosmic Gardeners and Riff & The Mad Hatter´s Garden Band Machine (Riff) acquiring the rhythm of the best psychedelic assortments that make Fim Froil worthy to appear in the list of the most affectionate Syd Barrett´s ´nephews´ together with Robyn Hitchcock and Julian Cope. The acoustic-electric-electronic instrumental apparatus is remarkable: paradoxical soft essences like northern summer nights in which the sun is liquefied in a yellow shine without never fall through in the dark, like rainbows that catch fire and they go off almost immediately, like the vegetation of a garden in which the Mediterranean botany melts with the ossianic romanticism, or of palms grown to latitudes so northern, or of plants bloom in the heart of the winter. The machinery bubble like cosmic signals perennially droning, backwards guitar on profusion, aliens and windings vocals enchantments. A way that carries from the psychedelia to pop, even to a mutant and cyclical pop in a spontaneous and organic sequence. If you pass from that way and a vision flashes you the name Fim Froil, follow it. The pleasure is assured!” (Rockerilla, Italien)
