When I was a kid I was in love with Sweden. There were three reasons, AFAICR: Abba, Astrid Lindgren and Ronnie Hellstrvm. Because of that I was a fan of 1. FC Kaiserslautern for a pretty long time. You see, they had the most Swedes on their team ;-) The irony of the story is that Sweden is one of the European countries I haven't yet been to! Anyway, my allegiance has somewhat diminished in the meantime. But there's a chance I'm going to Stockholm in the late summer or the fall, so perhaps it will be rekindled (if that's a fitting metaphor for allegiances).

I talked at some length with his son Lukas, who played a (fascinating) improv gig here in Indianapolis a bit over a year ago (drums, sax, electric bass, and occasional non-band-member poetry-slam-improvs); he's a hell of a nice guy, and his playing gave this slightly-above-hack-level drummer a lot of ideas.

I think "Real Life Permanent Dream" is a pretty fine track as well. I'd say if you're into British psych, it's nearly an essential purchase. If you're not, well then no. It probably isn't really a Yes-fan essential, in that it sounds nothing like Yes (although you can hear hints of Howe's Yes style in his playing here). Oh - and why is the version of SFF "dreadful"? I mean, I don't think it's all that great - but it doesn't seem all that horrendous to me, and it strikes me that's a difficult song to cover. Who else has - Peter Gabriel and whoever does the second vocal on that one (can't remember who), and Todd Rundgren (right?) - and uh the Replacements sorta?
