MIXTURE – Mixture (Coop, 1980)

Instrumental, English vocals
International relevance: ***

The Coop label was connected to Björbobandet who released one album together with Sabu Martinez in 1971. The label's main focus was jazz, with Mixture covering the fusion area. This eponymous album is the only one they made. Not essential but surprisingly sparkling for the genre. It doesn't seem as if their main purpose was to demonstrate their overeducated skills but to have fun while playing. It does have its share of boring genre typicalities (including a dreadful funk track, ”Use Your Soul”), but it's not quite as patience killing as other, and better known, examples of the style.

Use Your Soul
