Those who only have heard the brilliant
track ”Black Sallad” as featured on the ”Pregnant Rainbows for
Colourblind Dreamers” box set have probably got the wrong idea of
”Ardy & Lasses öronpaj”. It has a couple of further funky
passages courtesy of Janne Schaffer and others, but it mostly consists
of sound collages and nonsensical skits by drawer Ardy Strüwer and
comedian Lasse Åberg. The album's more like a surrealist comedy radio play, and if that sounds fun and interesting,
it really isn't. Those who scored a copy of ”Pregnant Rainbows”
can stick to that and leave this album to those who happily fork out
big bucks for nothing.
The title ”Pregnant Rainbows for
Colourblind Dreamers” came from a one-sided solo 'psychedelic' single by Ardy Strüwer, also featuring Lasse Åberg but released three years prior to the album.
”Ardy & Lasses öronpaj” wins the golden award for Most Bizarre Album Art though.
Lasse Åberg later became one of Sweden's most popular comedy movie directors.
