Anyone Speak Swedish?


Sometimes you find great songs in places where you aren’t even looking for them. I had iTunes rolling in shuffle mode and came across this brilliant track, Vackra Kristaller, by Komeda (6.6MB), and it blew me away again. It’s really remarkable — as catchy as it’s possible for a pop song to be, with a really strinking arrangement: check the marimbas, harps, tasty scratch guitar derring do, fretless bass, and tight drumming all bundled-up in a crystalline mix that bounces and shimmers and gives every element ample space. I still don’t know what it’s about, and I don’t give a rip, but it sounds wonderful. Ah.

"crystalline mix" you were close Dave! :) It's "beautiful crystal" as far as I can make out ... I remember when you "lent" this album to me -- this cut really did stand out. Thanks for reminding me! -d



Chicken Little was right.
