Bjørn Svin - Benene På Nakken

A great release. Period.

"Mand Over Bord" is a unique crowdpleaser - and although it is pretty harsh, it is very accessable through that distinctive scandinavian humour shining through. If you like Neil Landstrumms early bangers on Peacefrog, the opener of Bjørns Album and it's follow-up, "Benene På Nakken" (which means something like "Legs on the neck" - just look at the comic strip on the cover) won't dissapoint you. Squeaky and hard, but at the same time funny and funky as hell!

"Søde" - as already mentioned in a review for the vinyl version of the album - really IS a classic track regarding danish electronic music. A beautiful, melodic piece of melancholic, still driving techno music.

Until the end of the album, there is a wide variety of emotional electronic music to be heard - as on every record Bjørn has released up to date. "Mer Strøm" also is a very nice and tasty album, but "Benene På Nakken" just jumps in your face, puts a smile on your face and keeps you wondering what will happen next. This man really puts love into the music he plays and records. Plus, he really has a ball when he's playing live, jumping around his machines and dancing.

One of those rare musicians who actually loves and enjoys what he does - and doesn't seem take himself too serious.
