	Swiss Culture - Music. (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		The Reformation, with its puritanical- streak, then imposed strict control on the influence of music, and since Switzerland possessed neither large commercial towns with middle class patrons nor princely courts, the social background for the development of a thriving musical culture was entirely lacking.
		It was in the twentieth century that composers of international status began to emerge in Swiss musical life: Othmar Schoeck (1866-1957), Arthur Honegger (1892-1955), Frank Martin (1890-1974), Willy Burkhard (1900-1955) and Wladimir Vogel (1896-1984), followed by Rolf Liebermann and Heinrich Sutermeister (both born in 1910).
		In addition, Swiss musical life is greatly enriched by international festivals, for example those in Lucerne, Gstaad and Ascona.

		folklore music is probably best know abroad, there is definitely more to say about music in Switzerland and "heard with the ears of the local population" pop and rock music do play a far more important role.
		An estimate on how popular different styles of music are among the population can be made by comparing Swiss fm radio stations and their market share.
		Like their colleague in U.S. style country music, Swiss bands playing folklore music have also adopted popular new instruments and elements of style from mainstream pop and rock music, namely synthesizers allowing one-man-bands to play several instruments at a time and/or new rhythm patterns.

	Island: Pictures (1977) Music Reviews - Switzerland - Hippyland
		Island's music tends more to the chamber end of prog rock, like Univers Zero, except with more standard prog rock instrumentations (Univers Zero tended to use more chamber instruments like violins and clarinets, while Island used Hammond organ, synthesizers, and sax).
		The music on Pictures is very complex, and because of how uncompromising this album is, not everyone will like it.
		The uncomprimisingly complex music and some of the slower passages might be hard for some to get into, but personally I think this is one incredible album.

		The first time my ears heard the strains of From Lausanne, Switzerland by Favez, I can't say that I was very impressed.
		After all, this album was released back in April and I've yet to hear a ripple from the press elsewhere over here.

	Brainticket: Cottonwoodhill (1971) Music Reviews - Switzerland - Hippyland
		Most psychedelic bands one thinks of (particularly California bands of the 1960s) tend to record music under the influence of a really pleasant LSD trip, or at least it sounds like that.
		So the music ends up with a lot of "flowers and beads" type of lyrics.
		Flash forward to 1971, and a band full of musicians from various countries that roamed the European countryside calling themselves Brainticket recorded an album that year called Cottonwoodhill that is the complete and total opposite to what Bay Area psychedelic bands were doing in the 1960s, and that's recording under a really bad LSD trip.
