Vemod Xavier Russell, Kerrang! (Points: Krusty) Take a pinch of Skyclad and add a heaped tablespoon of Jethro Tull, put 'em in a blender and with any lukk, out will pop Sweden's very own Anekdoten. Not my kup of PROGGY TEA, as it takes a very patient ear to get into the music on "Vemod". The majority of their odd repertoire would sit very komfortably on a "Nekromantik" soundtrakk album yeah, it's that depressing! You only have to take a kloser look at the song titles to see where Anekdoten are koming from: "The Old Man And The Sea" and "Thoughts In Absence" are both extremely HEAVY GOING. The kulprit is cellist Anna Sofi Dahlberg. Her playing kan't be faulted; it's just a krying shame that her instrument sound so sad and eerie throughout. Still, it's a must for MANIK DEPRESSIVES!
