It hasn't been too long since Causa Sui's studio record "From The Source", which came out only last year. And even the Danish Psychedelic instrumentalists' last live album from the location Loppen in freetown Christiana, Copenhagen, "Loppen 2021" has only just been released in 2023.
But here we already go again with "Loppen 2024"!
CAUSA SUI - Loppen 2024 (randomly coloured ecomix vinyl 12" + 10") (2025)
Without the particular circumstance of following a long pandemic-caused pause in live music events, this show surely took place under different omens, back to just freely jamming without additional pressure. So the general vibe certainly is a little different. The further and obviously more important reason to justify this release however is the completely different tracklist.
While there's the similarity of prioritizing the band's heavier, fuzzier Rock side, not a single song from "Loppen 2024" is repeated from "Loppen 2021". Instead a big part of the show obviously consists of the strong material "From The Source", including a twenty-two minutes long rendition of the multi-part epic "Visions Of A New Horizon". And with that varied journey along you also get plenty enough of the dreamy, playful, jazzy sides of the band. The rest of the tracks haven't been part of a live album for long - or ever - too, so any chances of Causa Sui finally beginning to bore you remain waferthin.
So if you're thinking of sitting this one out - sorry, this is too good!
Besides the timeless, very well-recorded (especially love the drum sound and the swirling keys here) musical greatness the typical El Paraiso presentation of the double LP is a beautiful argument pro adding this to your collection as well.
The running order of the digital/CD version is a little different, since the spots of "The Spot" and "Visions" have been changed on the vinyl release, which allows this to be a combination of a 12" and a 10" record. Visually I can only judge my personal copies, since these come on eco-friendly randomly coloured wax. So in this regard my favorite side is the very vivid B, while the dark green of C and D is ok, but not the most exciting specimen I've seen.
Yet even if all four sides looked like a turd swimming in sullage, I'd be very happy with this album, which certainly boosts my anticipatory excitement of seeing Causa Sui live at Esbjerg Fuzztival again in a couple of months.
