Instrumental
International relevance: **
It took Combo 8 four years and a massively trimmed down line-up (from twenty people down to six) before their sole album ”Vibrationer” was released on musicians run LIM (Levande Improviserad Musik) label in 1976. As a sextet, they still made a lot of sound. Their jazz rock/funk fusion is messy and hyperventilating, with too much going on at the same time, as if the the members wouldn't let anyone else into the spotlight. Tight yes, but overworked. Band founder and drummer Torbjörn Johansson, guitarist Björn Hallberg and bass player Ulf Mårtensson are particularly annoying.
