Nya Ljudbolaget - s/t. 1981 MNW
This title came up via the CD-R revisit project. Not a favorite style of mine, but I know many of you would like to see this one reissued.
Very much a product of the Swedish Progg
(note spelling) MNW label, Nya Ljudbolaget carries a blend of late era
Archimedes Badkar, along with Arbete och Fritid and Samla Mammas Manna -
the latter two each featuring representatives on the album. One track
is even called 'Ramlösa mammas fritid', a giveaway if there ever was
one. In effect, it's a world music / jazz hybrid, where India and the
Middle East meets the West via the avant garde. Features some fine
flute, hand percussion, and cello amongst the usual melodic and free
blow saxophone/trumpet. Vocals are sung in the always lovely Swedish
tongue. Albums like this tend to rate well, but personally I find them
somewhat academic and highbrow. I prefer some dirt with my music. All
the same, a pleasant listen, especially if inclined towards the genres
and bands mentioned above.

This one just doesn't hit any of the highs that you would expect given the component musicians. I really want to like it more, but just can't get past thinking it's just OK.
