Swedish vocals, English vocals
International relevance: **
One of the rarest progg albums ever,
privately released by Prefix main man Pierre Blom on his own record
label PIM. According to Tobias Petterson in ”The Encyclopedia of
Swedish Progressive Music”, it's not a group effort as much as a
Blom solo album.
Whether it would have been better if
Pierre Blom had actually used other musicians than his equally
untalented wife and one Åke Eriksson on vocals is hard to say but I
hope so. Because playing most of the instruments himself in his
basement was clearly not a good idea. ”Min kära” is a bad track
but on top of the dung pile. In ”Stupid Record Company”, reeking
with self-pity, Blom complains that no label wants to release his
music – hmm, I wonder why that is... The title to the opening track
is ”Alla toner är ledsna”, meaning ”all notes are sad”, and
well, I would be sad too if I was a bum note on this album...
Prefix is in the same category as
Malaria, John-Erik Axelsson and Radiomöbel, i.e. unlistenable crap
with few or no recognizable traces of talent. If you find a copy of
this album, be sure to put on protective suit and gloves before handling the album. You really don't want to touch it. It
might be hazardous.
Band name and album title are sometimes mixed up when listed.
