Swedish vocals, instrumental
International relevance: **
Even before the dissoluton of Kalmar
band Kung Tung in 1979, bassist Ulf Bejerstrand released solo albums
– this is his second. ”Ett spel i röven” sometimes sound like
a proper album but too often Bejerstrand gives in to his sense of
anal humour making him sound like a five-year-old with access to
record equipment. A lot of ”Ett spel i röven” (the title may be
translated to ”a freak-out in your ass”) sounds impertinent for
the sake of impertinence only. Some people probably get off on burps
and farts – Bejerstrand obviously do – but my humour isn't quite
that infantile. But he payed for the release and if he enjoyed
wasting his money on nonsense, that's up to him. (He used to toss his
albums into the audience after 60 second guerilla gigs when he
hijacked the stage after the headliners had left, so at least not to
many people had to pay for his albums.)
The album isn't very good even if you don't understand his puerilities, but at least it has two good tracks, both instrumental. But it should be said that ”Min låt” and ”Mjäll i tårtan” aren't good only because Bejerstrand is kind enough to keep his mouth shut on those tracks.
