GUDANG GARAM

RADIOMOBEL were a five piece band out of Sweden including a female vocalist, bass, drums, guitar and keyboards. They released two studio albums in the second half of the 70's including this one "Gudang Garam" from 1978.

I was a little frustrated with this album because there are some really good compositions on here that I feel get ruined by either the female singer who has such a thin voice, I just don't care for it at all but also these high pitched synths that make my eyes squint. Abrasive is the word but worst of all is the lo-fi, mono sound quality. I guess that's why many call this a Garage Rock band but man check out some of these songs, this could have been great!
