Swedish vocals, instrumental
International relevance: **
A later date private pressing, released
with an insert, in supposedly only a couple of hundred copies. Often
categorized as fusion, the eight tracks are in fact very different in
style. Mostly instrumental, it features a couple of spoken passages
in Swedish, female vocals in English on ”Life/Liv”, and wordless
female vocals on the easy, laidback ”Whale Song” (that sounds
just like the album cover looks). There's a light afro influence on
”Flingan” and ”Slag”, the latter assumably inspired by
Talking Heads' ”Remain in Light” released the previous year.
”Trofast” in turn sounds like a cross between The Band's ”The
Weight” and Jimi Hendrix's ”Angel”.
The album has a few pleasant moments and
being well played it might be of passing interest to funk and jazz
fusion fans, but it's also a rather non-descript affair, thus failing to make
a lasting impression. Copies are rare but usually in the €50-60
range.
