BÄTTRE LYSS – Bättre lyss till den sträng som brast än att aldrig spänna en båge (Musiklaget, 1975)

Swedish vocals
International relevance: ***

One of many one-off outfits to feature the prolific Anders Nordh of Life. The album has a ponderous title but the music is thankfully a lot more fluent. It's heavy and mellow at the same time in a pleasing way. The lyrics are political but never get in the way of the the enjoyment. Rolf Hammarlund's high voice is a bit overstretched in places, but it actually adds a certain tension and urgency to the songs. An album worthy of more attention than it got upon its initial release.
