(Review from progarchives.com)

This album contains recordings from two live concerts in Germany during Von Zamla’s Spring 1983 European tour. The production is very good especially since these are live recordings.

“1983″ features songs from both “Zamlaranamma” and “No Make Up!” studio albums, together with some songs that has never been released on any album before.

The sound is very much in terms of RIO but also laced with gypsy jazz (circus-like music). For this one, Belgium’s Michel Berckmans (of Univers Zero fame) joined the band and he gives a typical Berckmans input with his bassoon.

The music pumps with a creepy, Monster Mash hipness and astounding changes in mode and tempo, filled with delicate lines, little details, and bizarre humor. The group draws influence from seemingly all music at once and spits it back out with flair and bold disregard for convention or popular ideals. The thirteen cuts brim with this energy. The vast majority of tunes here are instrumental and offer much with a truly progressive form of rock music.

Among the highlights in this album would be the impressive Temporal You Are with keyboard layers reminding of Pink Floyd’s Shine On You Crazy Diamonds and the Gong-like Doppler.
