Well, what is there
to say about this album... Dan Swanö has never stopped amazing us with
new
and unconventional projects of every possible kind but this time I don't
really know
what I think about this new release. "Sbrodj" is an album
almost completely instrumental
with occational spoken words in Swedish taken
from the well-known Tintin series from Hergé.
There is nothing wrong with
Tintin but this kind of psychedelic and weird music doesn't
really get
through to me in any way. I simply have no idea what to think about it
except
that it fits rather well as background music when doing something
completely different. If
you remember the strange bass lines from Type O
Negative's "October Rust" then you know quite
well what to expect from
this album but don't forget to add lots of strange samples to that
sound in
your mind. The music itself is however rather pleasant and melodic but there
are
too many disturbing sound samples of the most peculiar kind that prevents
if from being
really good and fluent.
If you like electronic and
experimental noise with heavy bass lines and melodic keyboard
strings then
this might be something for you but it is really difficult to get into. It
is
also a bit unlucky to have the spoken words in Swedish but I think this is old
recordings
from Dan Swanö's early days in the metal
scene.
