Album Review:
Simon Steensland hails from Sweden and obviously has a sense of humour as witnessed by the album cover here.So funny.Oh and the album's title is humerous as well.Interesting because the music has nothing to do with humour,in fact it's quite dark,intense and eerie at times. I have to tell you that this album is an absolute gem,sort of a Zeuhl/Avant/Rio mix that is so well done.Simon has some incredible guests here helping him out including a host of female vocalists with there wordless melodies.Simon is a MAGMA fan having contributed a track to one of those tribute albums, and it shows here.The guitarist is the present one for GOSTA BERLINGS SAGA,i gave the album he played on 5 stars.The guy can play.And so can Simon,a multi-instrumentalist who plays a variety of instruments including cello,harmonium,guitar,keyboards,bass and more.2 guys from MATS/MORGAN help out along with other guests. "Der Klang Von "Musik"" is a monster(maybe that's where the idea for the cover art came from).It kicks in quickly with an intense rhythm section.Organ follows and it comes and goes.I like the guitar before 2 1/2 minutes.It becomes more prominant a minute later.The heavy beat slows down until it stops 4 1/2 minutes in.It kicks back in at 6 minutes.This is heavy duty.The heaviness lets up but it's still intense.It settles after 11 1/2 minutes and it's dark.Accordion joins in.Heavy again 14 minutes in, in fact it's ANEKDOTEN-like here.The tempo picks up.Insane ! "Lost In The Ark" opens in a mellow way as female vocal melodies come in. "Merde!" is a short tune with outbursts of drums and vocal melodies.Cool sound. "Memories Of Jan Josta" is almost catchy(haha) and it's quite dark.A haunting finish to this song as well. "Loch Ness" sounds like outbursts of vibes that come and go in a dark atmosphere. "Hide & Seek" opens with a beat as these eerie sounding multi vocals join in.Incredible sound ! The drums are excellent.This is such a trip.Very Zeuhl-like. "Frals Oss Ifran Ondo" is laid back with female vocal melodies. "The Queen Of Sweden" features some cool sounds and it turns intense later. "Petite Merde" is 26 seconds of female vocal melodies.Five ladies singing on this one. "The Lion Tamer" has so much going on once it gets going.It settles after 2 minutes with guitar,bass and drums.Very intense 6 minutes in.Clarinet before 11 1/2 minutes and it gets kind of crazy.Heavy duty 14 minutes in then it settles with female vocals.Vibe-like sounds after 15 1/2 minutes.It's spooky 17 1/2 minutes in to the end. Music for the adventerous.Easily 4 stars.
