INDIAN SUMMER

For some reason this album is classified as one of the most overrated Swedish prog records... Well, after years of fruitless search I was lucky to find this rarity (second hand, of course - looks like it is out of print now) in some small but nice record store in Stockholm for a reasonable price. Although it sounds somewhat like U2 being in a very low spirit, I am not quite dissapointed. The band has managed to create their unique sound based on stretchy mellotrone and slow and calm guitar chords. The music is really dark and sometimes catches the spirit of (just so) JOY DIVISION's Closer, sometimes approaching the late CRIMSON's works. Best tracks, in my opinion, are All Around Me and Why Do I Still Sleep. For those who are tired of cheerful marches.
