Fläsket Brinner's second album
”Fläsket” has everything going for it. It's a double LP with one
disc recorded in the studio and the other disc live, it has several
Fläsket classics (”Jätten Feeling” immediately leaps to mind),
it features both Bo Hansson and Mikael Ramel, there's a whole
lot of excellent playing (of course). Still, something is lacking, at least
on the first album in the set. But I can't put my finger on what. I
mean, it is good but something's just not there. It
doesn't sound as sparkling as
their immaculate debut.
The live portion is much better. More
spirited, more exploratory. More adventurous. Dangerous even. The
rendition of ”Bosses låt” is simply unbelievable, like a monster
growing right in front of you, five feet away. That's the Fläsket
Brinner I love. Disc one is more like an approximation of the band. But with the live disc being half of the album, it's still a whole lot.
Please note that CD reissues lack two
songs on the original LP, ”Pukolle I Valparaiso” and ”Wild
Thing”. Not that you need their version of ”Wild Thing”...
