Cut out from the Norwegian rock encyclopedia:

Progressive rock band from Oslo that existed for a short period in the second half of the 70's. The line up was Freddy Dahl (vocal, guitar), Peter Berg Nilsen (vocal, saxophone), Kjell Rønningen (keyboards; Ruphus ), Sverre Beyer (bass) and Bjørn Jenssen (drums).

The Group's (by then) only release was recorded in October 1976 and with a cover that gave the buyer no doubt that this was progressive stuff. Everything from the painting on the cover, the colorful label to the music on the vinyl, witnessed that Saluki wished to reign among the leading bands in the country within the progressive rock style.

The record contains a new version of "Take The Road Across The Bridge", that Dahl had recorded with Junipher Greene five years earlier. Sylvi Lillegaard (from Ruphus) and Radka Toneff contributed with backing vocals on this track. Unfortunately Saluki never got to show their full potential. In the beginning of spring 1978 the group folded. Rønningen, Jenssen and Dahl joined Ruphus.

...This Saluki debut is perhaps the most desirable releases from the Compendium label and has become a collectors piece of the progressive Norwegian jazz-rock scene...
