'THROW OPEN THE CHURCH DOORS'. A SELECTION OF NORWEGIAN CHRISTIAN JAZZ, PSYCH, FUNK & FOLK 1970-1980. This compilation documents the Norwegian progressive Christian music scene that grew out of the Ten Sing-movement (Teenage Singing) and Jesus revolution at the end of the 1960s. Within a few years the Christian music industry in Norway became almost as powerful as the secular, with the rise of new labels, festivals and fan clubs. With a wish to throw open the churchs doors to new cultural expressions, Christian youth all over Norway created a now forgotten catalogue of albums with jazz, psychedelic, beat, funk and folk mixed with a Christian message. Twenty nuggets from this obscure music catalogue are now gathered on this release. It took a while for the Norwegian church to ask itself the question: why should the devil have all the good music? If one search through the massive heaps of Norwegian EPs released on the Christian record companies Ansgar. ETON and Klango before 1970, you will find hours of congregation house quartets and choirs. But with the great transformations within youth and popular culture in the 1960's there also came a great renewal within Norwegian church music. The Pentecostal church started a youth label JOY for their label KLANGO and Forum Experimentale went on to become the record company Kirkelig Kulturverkested (The Churches Cultural Workshop). Here one finds a hidden and fantastic catalogue of progressive and experimental Christian music. From the gritty fusion funk and electric jazz of Good News and That Why to progressive folk by singer songwriters such as Grete Salomonsen and Kari Hansa and Gregers Hes. Also unearthed are the psychedelic sounds of Crossing and KERYX to rock-musicals by Arnold Brud and Angelos. If one wonders what the Christian people danced to late at night just isten to disco, beat and funk gems by Heflex and Presens.
