FRITT FALL

First of all,it is very nice to see these guys now having been acknowledged to be on here at prog archives.

The first two Kornet albums ,the self titled Kornet and the second Fritt fall (Free fall) are very similar,so this review could also fit the first album.

Kornet is a great band similar to another Swedish band EGBA,who are unfortunately not listed here on prog archives.The music here is a very energetic and adventurous blend of jazz rock fusion,with great swinging rhythm,along the lines of Return to Forever,Billy Cobham,Janne Schaffer,Bjorn Jason Lindh ,Isotope,Missus Beastly,Pekka Pohjola,Perigeo and the warmth of the Scandinavian north,if this makes sense,but when you hear this,I am sure you will understand.

Musicianship is top notch and everybody gets their fair chance to lets lose and show their skills.

I still have these from way back and they are still great to throw on every now and again.If you can find these anywhere,do yourself a favour and snap them up.

Later period fusion album expertly crafted. The group is a nice entry into the jazzrock world, obscure yet extremely competent. No real sustained fireworks and the interest lags a little from time to time but this is a great example of terrific music that has gone nearly unheard. I'll draw some parallels to Jukka Tolonen (Tasavallan Presidentti)'s work of the time in the area of accessible jazzrock. I'd say Tolonen is more funky overall but this is a really good album. Slsta Skrikrt and Platniklas, the longest tracks on the album, embody the spirit I feel they are attempting to convey.
