Review by Bj-1 published
Weird Prog RIO

"Note: This review is based on what I've heard from this album.

Myrbein is an excellent RIO/Avant-Prog band from Sweden, sometimes comparable to Samla Mammas Manna, only that this band is much harder on the ear; very complex and sometimes harsh music with a good dose of melody experimentation. It works extremely well and is now one of my most wanted albums. The musicianship is fantastic and the songwriting is very creative and original, with very rapid melody changes, but the music remains very avant-gardistic. There is very few weak moments overall, if any.

There's is one problem though: this album is more or less impossible to find these days. It got re-issued on CD in 1993, but was limited to 1000 copies. The CD also included a live cover of King Crimson's "Lark's Tongues In Aspic Part II" as a bonus. If you are a lover of this particular genre and are lucky enough to find it, buy it! It's absolutely worth it. In my opinion, this is one of the forgotten gems in progressive avant-garde music. Highly recommended!"
