Andi ChorleyMagician's Hat is an instrumental progressive rock album by Swedish musician Bo Hansson. It is his second solo album, following the successful Music Inspired by Lord of the Rings, and was originally released in Sweden by Silence Records in 1972, with the title Ur trollkarlens hatt.
Like its predecessor, the album was, at least partly, influenced by fairy tale and fantasy themes, with the song "Elidor" having been directly inspired by Alan Garner's 1965 fantasy novel Elidor. Although the album had a similar progressive rock sound to Hansson's first solo album, albeit with a more jazz-tinged flavor, it was not as commercially successful and failed to reach the charts in the UK and the U.S.
In his review of the album for the Allmusic website, Bruce Eder has noted "there is a compelling power to some of this music, as organ, guitar, and synthesizer alternately move out in front".- Wikipedia
