Half of the tracks are like dramatic Jon Hassel/Peter Gabriel Worldmusic Ambient. This is really a late one of the unique artist John Martyn but for God’s sake he didn’t fuck it up in the 80ties like so many of the big rockstar collegues. So, still typical John Martyn. Ah, the other half of the tracks: „Deep Feeling“-Pop, also not bad except for one really soft Soul song which is just too Mainstream.

Swedish Avantfolk. 21 musicians involved. Everything from clarinet to congas, flutes, drums, glockenspiel, even tuba, Nice arrangements, one song got whole parts of Kurt Weill in it, even if not stated. I estimate by the way they are singing that two or three songs with many people singing together are a bit annoying politclasswar stuff. Doesn’t matter: Monica Zetterlund sings very beautiful - mostly alone – and the other nine or ten tracks, especially the calm ones, are amazing.

OK, her voice got tons of soul, very deep - no doubt … already started to like it. And then suddenly the first of four very slow minimal tracks with a magic cajun or even Postrock Antifolk-feel that are fuckin awesome. Maybe I keep it.
