BLÅ VARDAG

I realize giving such a low rating to an album that's practically unheard of seems like kicking a man when he's down, but it's conceivable that somebody might seek this out, hoping for a lost progressive gem, and I tell that person, right now: Go elsewhere.

It is difficult to think of one commendable thing about this album, or indeed, much to say about the album, period. The keyboards? Horrid, piercing things. The arrangements? Unimaginative and boring. Think of combining Genesis and Soft Machine, and now make the music you're imagining into something that is dull and derivative enough to make you question how a thinking human being could create such soulless material from whole cloth. Add in a 57 minute runtime and you have a long, stultifying train wreck of an album that only the staunchest of collectors will find any interest in.

In conclusion, some albums are obscure for a reason, and this is one of those albums. If this review seems to short, I can guarantee you that "zzz" is far shorter and gets the point across just as well. Truly impossible to recommend.
