4 stars Anekdoten's debut album finds them already mastering their chosen style - a style heavily inspired by King Crimson from around the period of Red, with a combination of raging guitar, a jazzy rhythm section and melancholic Mellotron creating an air of nostalgia and yearning on each track. King Crimson fans who seriously miss the Red era will doubtless find it endlessly entertaining, and there's the odd departure into lighter, jazzier territory than Anekdoten would ever revisit which offers a tantalising glimpse of all the directions with Anekdoten could have taken their music in but ultimately chose not to. Plus the cover art is just charming - a delightful throwback to the old Vertigo aesthetic.
