First, let me clarify (since no one else has) that Karaboudjan is more or less a joke band, inspired by the Belgian comic Tintin. "Karaboudjan" is the name of a ship, "Plan 714 Til Sydney" means "Flight 714 to Sydney" and is one of the Tintin comics, as are "Den Svarta �n" (The Black Island) and "Den Mystiska Stj�rnan" (The Mysterious Star).

That being said, the music is quite good, which is what one would expect from Swan�, and very eccentric (track 2 features steel drums and a crazy Zorn-worthy saxophone-drum-guitar solo section, preceded by a doom/sludge/whatever segment) Track 3 is however very chaotic and I find bits of it difficult to listen to even on a good day.

A good EP, though perhaps not worth the import price.
