Space Sailors

Rymden - Bugge Wesseltoft, Dan Berglund and Magnus Öström - have launched their second mission, "Space Sailors". It is the perfect sequel to "Reflections And Odysseys", their highly acclaimed debut that spawned an equally acclaimed series of live performances. The trio have taken the dynamics, textures, moods and perfect blend of subtle detailing and big sonic gestures to new levels, and have picked up new elements of '60s psychedelia and punk energy along the way. If you ever wondered what would happen if a Krzysztof Komeda score for a Polanski movie collided with Fugazi, look no further; if you need to know what Chopin writing doom metal might sound like, you might just find the answer you seek. The prog and fusion elements you already know and expect are still here, but with different colours and markings. If "Reflections and Odysseys" was a first expedition into earth orbit, "Space Sailors" goes far beyond. This just might be their'moon landing' album.
