Samla Mammas Manna – Snorungarnas Symfoni (1976) (@256)
23 Jun 2010
(Review from gibraltar, allmusic)
“Snorungarnas Symfoni” is a collaboration with composer Gregory Allan Fitzpatrick, an album of four long pieces, all extremely diverse with very complex yet melodic arrangements, the result being a positively brilliant album that defies categorization yet defines the word progressive.
The band’s familiar twisted folk tunes, calliope keyboards, soaring guitar excursions and Zappaesque time signatures are enhanced perfectly by Fitzpatrick’s own quirky compositions. The album has a much more jazz-oriented flavor to it, in a way it might be considered the next logical step after “Klossa Knapitatet”.
You’ll laugh, hum along, tap your feet and shake your head in amazement, all at the same time.
Line-up:
- Coste Apetrea / acoustic & electric guitars, balalaika
- Hans Bruniusson / drums, percussion
- Kalle Eriksson / trumpet
- Lars Hollmer / keyboards
- Lars Krantz / bass
- Artan Wallander / saxophone
Track List:
01. Forsta Satsen – First Movement – 11:52
02. Andra Satsen – Second Movement – 5:40
03. Tredje Satsen – Third Movement – 7:46
04. Fjarde Satsen – Fourth Movement – 8:49
