BJÖRN J:SON LINDH/SISSEL MLP 15.506 (-73) SWEDEN

For more on background check post on his debute "Ramadan" and fourth album "Boogie Woogie" - https://monolover.blogspot.com/search?q=J%3Ason+MLP . While those were largely influenced by eastern music this third is more home turf. Though one cut seemingly inspired by Macedonian folk lore and another a cover of Joe South's "Games People Play", all sounds very contemporary Swedish cool prog. Odd rhythms and chord changes performed soft and relaxed with emotional flute on the top. As on the two aforementioned LP:s you're taken on an adveturous ride, but always safe and comfortable when cared for by some of the best. Both stereo mix and audio are excellent and if you have the means to play on an ok equipment you'll be truly embraced. All tied together by common atmosphere and setting. If I have to chose a favorite part it'd be Janne Schaffer's long solo at the end of "Sissel". Equibrilist jazzy but partly so out there it's almost psych. Enough to turn on any lover of cracking guitars - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aJdHFKGhtSE . Also originally issued in US (Metronome DIX 3002). To my knowledge never released on CD. "Bull Dog" showed up on the 2000 Metronome CD collection "Guldkorn" while the rest of the tracks seems to be vinyl only. Premiere Swedish had label as shown here and laminated fold/out cover with Metronome ad inner. (SCÄ*) (CCÖ*)
