Instrumental
International relevance ***
Probably one of the most
obscure bands ever to be featured here, Suspekt Aspekt never even
released any music when they originally existed. Originating from
Gothenburg, they formed in the mid 70s and disbanded in early 1980.
This recording were distributed privately by the band after having
reunited in 2003. It's a live recording made at Röhsska museet, an
art museum in the centre of their hometown. Sound quality is good,
even excellent for an audience recording from 1979. The music is soft
instrumental symphonic prog with an epic quality, somewhat
reminiscent of UK bands like Camel.
It's well played and rather pleasant, but with 23 tracks clocking in
at over two hours, it's too much to chew in one sitting for the
casual listener, Genre fans however will surely be delighted by the
discovery.
Had Suspekt Aspekt had the opportunity to have a proper
album out when they existed the first time around, they would most
likely have been widely recognized among aficionados, instead of being
a hardly known footnote in the history of regional symph prog.
