  • Råg I Ryggen (Ita)

    In Svezia nei primi anni 70 bands e artisti nascevano come funghi dopo la pioggia in agosto ed ogni cantina o garage aveva la sua versione di Bob Dylan, Led Zeppelin o Rolling Stones. Nel sobborgo di Stoccolma, Bromma, i compagni di classe Björn Aggemyr (chitarra) e Björn "Nysse" (guitar) Nyström cominciarono a strimpellare i loro strumenti quando erano appena dodicenni. Il tastierista Christer Sjöborg si unì e Kurt Persson suonò la batteria con loro per un breve periodo. Fu presto sostituito da Peter Sandberg e decisero di chiamarsi Goda Vänner & Musik (Buoni Amici & Musica). Questi quattro ragazzi provavano in una piccola stanza di 3,5 X 3,5 metri nello scantinato del padre di Nysse, e principalmente facevano pezzi delle band britanniche di hard rock del periodo come Deep Purple o Uriah Heep. Björn e Nysse riuscirono a persuadere il loro insegnante alla scuola Riksbyskolan di Bromma a permettergli di mostrare il loro talento agli altri scolari. La proposta fu accettata, ma avrebbero dovuto portare la propria strumentazione, problema che fu risolto invitando il fratello di Björn, Jan Aggemyr, nella band. Jan aveva la patente ed un'auto, una chitarra elettrica e la capacità di usarla, il che era proprio ciò che serviva. Poco prima del loro debutto i ragazzi avevano trovato un pacchetto di pane raffermo nella sala prove. La marca era Wasa Bröd e l'etichetta "ger råg I ryggen" (dà forza e coraggio) catturò subito la loro attenzione, e fu così che nacque il nome Råg I Ryggen.
    A quel tempo, nel 1974, i ragazzi nella band avevano tra i 15 ed i 20 anni, ma avevano già equipaggiamento musicale e attrezzature da non sfigurare di fronte a band ricche e famose, come Yes o King Crimson. I chitarristi Jan e Nysse suonavano chitarre Gibson o fatte da loro, Björn aveva un basso Rickenbacker, e Peter suonava un drum kit Rogers completo. Il tastierista Christer aveva una dozzina di tastiere, tra cui uno dei primi Mini Moogs svedesi e un Hammond A-100 con 2 speaker Leslie da 150 watt! Il suo materiale da solo avrebbe riempito per metà il pullman dei Råg I Ryggen, senza contare il problema di averlo sempre stipato nella cantina del padre di Nysse mentre provavano.
    Nel 1974 la band suonava regolarmente a Stoccolma e nei sobborghi nelle vicinanze, e parteciparono anche ad un concorso che serviva per scoprire nuovi talenti musicali. In quel periodo era Nysse il cantante della band, anche se circa metà del loro repertorio era strumentale. Nederlaget è il nome di un'altra band che si esibì quella notte e il loro vocalist, Jonas Warnerbring, fu notato dai Råg I Ryggen. E' il figlio del famoso cantante Östen Warnerbring che ha rappresentato la Svezia all'Eurovision Song Contest negli anni 60, tuttavia i loro stili vocali non sono né simili né comparabili. Jonas fu avvicinato da Nysse e Björn quella sera e fu presto convinto a lasciare i Nederlaget in favore dei Råg I Ryggen. Con il nuovo vocalist, la band si poteva concentrare maggiormente sul proprio materiale e riprese a suonare nella piccola cantina, a dispetto del fatto che i Råg I Ryggen adesso erano in 6 e più orientati verso sonorità progressive, pur non tradendo le loro radici che affondavano nell' hard rock. I genitori di Nysse non si lamentarono mai della musica pesante che veniva da sotto, nemmeno quando una finestra si ruppe a causa del volume esagerato.
    Una sera quell'autunno Peter era uscito a bere con alcuni amici, e mentre aspettava il treno per tornare a casa fece amicizia con Kjell Gradin, un anziano gentleman che guarda caso gestiva un'etichetta discografica! Nel loro stato di alterazione alcolica si accordarono subito per un test recording e solo poche settimane più tardi la band aveva ordinato tutto il suo equipaggiamento in un piccolo studio di Sundbyberg. Råg I Ryggen aveva suonato TocarSpångaforsens Brus ed una canzone ormai sconosciuta, ma né Kjell Gradin né il suo piccolo studio erano preparati per l'assalto musicale e questa registrazione fu rovinata dal suono pesantemente distorto. L'etichetta Rondo aveva precedentemente registrato solo Göingeflickorna ed altre band vocali molto soft, ma questo non scoraggiò Kjel che fece un altro tentativo di registrare i suoi nuovi apprendisti appena scoperti. Prenotò l'EMI-studio di Skärmarbrink - che era uno dei più moderni studios a 16 canali della Svezia a quei tempi - per due giorni interi per registrare un album con la band. Le date erano il 22 ed il 23 di febbraio e presto si presentò un altro problema. I testi di alcune canzoni erano di solito improvvisati sul palco, ma la band pensò che non avrebbe funzionato in studio. Il testo per TocarNaked Man fu scritto il giorno prima della registrazione e il tocco finale per TocarQueen Of Darkness fu dato nelle ore precedenti l'arrivo allo studio alle 09.00 AM. L'album fu registrato in 16 ore. Tutti gli strumenti, tranne il sintetizzatore, furono registrati live il primo giorno, mentre tutte le parti vocali e il mixaggio furono fatti il secondo giorno. Fu scoperto qualche piccolo errore, ma non c'era tempo per il redub, e tuttavia ascoltando l' album oggi queste piccole cose danno autenticità al groove ed alla musica.
    L'album eponimo uscì nell'aprile 1975 e qualcuna delle canzoni in lingua svedese fu trasmessa in radio. Rondo sembrava credere nella musica dei Råg I Ryggen così distribuì tra le 8000 e le 10000 copie dell'album e prenotò la partecipazione al Gröna Lund per il 3 luglio. L'album fu distribuito da EMI in Svezia ma non all'estero. Nel periodo in cui l'album fu preparato la band aveva almeno 2 esibizioni dal vivo alla settimana e provava 2 o 3 volte alla settimana mentre ognuno lavorava anche a tempo pieno (quattro di loro lavoravano in negozi di musica!). I fan dei Råg I Ryggen a Stoccolma crescevano sempre più e a volte loro regalavano dischi alle persone del pubblico che avevano il coraggio di salire sul palco e cantare con loro e questo accadeva abbastanza frequentemente. La band aveva il proprio tecnico del suono ed un amico che si occupava delle luci allo stesso modo di un rigido codice morale: non era permesso l'uso di alcol prima e durante l'esibizione, anche se il pubblico ne faceva uso per essere "carico". Le esibizioni di solito consistevano di 2 sessioni di 45 minuti, e di solito loro erano l'unica band della serata, anche se una volta ebbero un concerto assieme alla blues rock band Nature.
    Quando arrivò il giorno del concerto al Gröna Lund, l'arrangiatore disse che sarebbe stato loro permesso di suonare per mezz'ora al massimo, e dovettero pianificare una lista di canzoni adatta. Il volume fu regolato dalla stessa band e la loro performance fu la seconda più rumorosa mai registrata al Gröna Lund (solo i Wishbone Ash erano stati più rumorosi). Tutto fu molto bello con una grande connessione col pubblico, ma quando mancava solo il coro finale di Sanningsserum qualcuno tagliò la corrente! Questo era già accaduto a Jimi Hendrix circa sette anni prima, e quell'evento fa ormai parte del folklore del Gröna Lund, ma questo lasciò sia i Råg I Ryggen che il pubblico sbalorditi. Gli elettricisti del Gröna Lund inizialmente dichiararono che un fusibile era saltato, ma in seguito ammisero che avevano effettivamente tagliato la corrente per evitare che i Råg I Ryggen suonassero anche solo un secondo in più del consentito.
    La band suonava anche fuori Stoccolma, in posti come Norrtälje, Orsa e Gävle. La distanza non era mai esagerata e la band tornava a casa dei genitori di Nysse dopo ogni concerto, dove la attendevano dei panini o una tarda cena.
    Il contratto tra i Råg I Ryggen e Rondo diceva che sarebbero dovute essere registrate più canzoni, ma essere week end rockstar e allo stesso tempo avere lavori a tempo pieno - combinato con la crescita di differenze musicali - alla fine ebbe un effetto negativo sulla band. All'inizio del 1976 il cantante Jonas Warnerbring ed il batterista Peter Sandberg lasciarono il gruppo e furono sostituiti rispettivamente da Bo Lantz e Jonas Edgren. Questo portò nuove influenze e una nuova direzione musicale. Le canzoni divennero più complesse e i testi ciarlieri vennero eliminati per lasciare il posto a discorsi più seri. Tristemente questo non funzionò molto bene e la band fece solo pochi concerti prima di sciogliersi circa sei mesi dopo. Non esiste materiale scritto dall' ultima line- up della band in studio, e c è solo un live di qualità mediocre. Questo è triste, anche perchè l' LP originale si può trovare ad un prezzo oscillante tra i 100 ed i 150 dollari, e l'album è considerato un classico tra i conoscitori del progressive e dell hard rock svedese.

  • Råg I Ryggen (Eng)

    Nov 28 2009, 18h54 por heavylione

    In Sweden in the early 70s bands and artists sprang up like mushrooms after an August rain and every other cellar and garage had its own version of Bob Dylan, Led Zeppeli or Rolling Stones. In the Stockholm suburb Bromma classmates Björn Aggemyr (bass) and Björn "Nysse" (guitar) Nyström began banging away on their instruments when they were just twelve years old. Keyboard player Christer Sjöborg soon joined in and Kurt Persson played drums with them for a short while. He was soon replaced by Peter Sandberg and the band named themselves Goda Vänner & Musik (Good Friends & Music). These four kids rehearsed in a 3,5 X 3,5 metres small room in Nysse's father cellar, and mostly played songs by british hard rock bands like Deep Purle and Uriah Heep. Björn and Nysse managed to persuade their teacher at school (Riksbyskolan in Bromma) to allow them to show their talents in front of the other pupils. The proposal was accepted, but they had to bring their own musical equipment, a problem which was solved by bringing in Björn's older brother Jan Aggemyr into the band. Jan had a driver's license and a car, an electric guitar and the knowledge to use it, thus fitting the bill perfectly. Shortly before this début performance the boys found a package of old bread in the rehearsal room. The brand was Wasa Bröd and his tag line "ger råg I ryggen" (gives strength and courage) immediately caught the band's attention, and the name Råg I Ryggen was born.
    At this time, in 1974, the boys in the band were between fifteen and twenty years old, but the band had assembled musical equipment and gear like a rich and famous groups like Yes or King Crimson. Guitarists Jan and Nysse playing Gibson guitars or homemade ones, Björn had a Rickenbacker bass and Peter thundered away on a full-fledged Rogers drum kit. Keyboard player Christer had six pairs of keys, including one of Sweden's first Mini Moogs and a Hammond A-100 with two 150 watt Leslie speakers! His gear alone would fill half of Råg I Ryggen tourbus, not to mention the trouble of having it all stashed in Nysse's parent's cellar while rehearsing.
    In 1974 the band would perform regularly at youth centres around Stockholm and its suburbs, and they also entered a talent hunt at Jarlateatern. Nysse was the vocalist around this time but about half of the band's repertoire was instrumental. Nederlaget was another band that performed that same evening and that band's vocalist Jonas Warnerbring caught the attention of Råg I Ryggen. He is the son of famous Swedish singer/performer Östen Warnerbring, who had represented Sweden in the Eurovision Song Contest in the sixties, although their vocal styles are neither comparable nor alike. Jonas was approached by Nysse and Björn that evening and was soon persuaded to quit Nederlaget in favour of Råg I Ryggen.
    With a new vocalist on board, the band concentrated more on their own material and kept rehearsing in the small cellar room despite the fact that Råg I Ryggen now consisted of six members and more progressive sound developed, although the band still had his roots in hard rock. Nysse's parent's never complained about the heavy music almost coming from below, not even when a window broke due to the high volume produced in the enclosed quarter.
    An evening that autumn Peter had been out drinking with some friends, and while he waited for the train ride home he befriended Kjell Gradin, an elderly gentleman who appened to run a record label! In their drunken state they immediately agreed on a test recording, and only a few weeks later the band had lined up all their equipment in a small studio in Sundbyberg. Råg I Ryggen performed TocarSpångaforsens Brus and a now unknown song, but since neither Kjell Gradin nor his small studio was prepared for the musical assault and this recording was ruined by a heavily distorted sound. The Rondo label had previously only recorded the likes of Göingeflickorna and other very soft vocal acts, but this didn't deter Kjel from making another attempt at recording his newly discovered apprentices. He booked the EMI-studio in Skärmarbrink - which was one of the most modern 16-channel studios in Sweden at the time - for two full days to record a full-lenght album with the band. The dates were the 22nd and 23rd of February, and suddenly a new problem came up. The lyrics for some of the songs where usually improvised on stage, but the band figured that it would not work out in the studio. The lyrics for TocarNaked Man were written the day before the recording and the final touch on TocarQueen Of Darkness were made in the early hours before Råg I Ryggen arrived at the studio at 09.00 AM. The album was recorded in 16 hours. All instruments, except for the synthesizer, were recorded live the first day, while all vocals and mixing was made the second day. Some small errors were soon discovered, but there was no time for overdubs, but while listening to the album today these small things only add authenticity to the groove and general feel of the music.
    The eponymous album was released in April 1975 and some of the Swedish-language songs were aired by the Swedish radio. Rondo seemed to believe in Råg I Ryggen's music and issued between eight and ten thousand copies of the album, as well as booking a gig at the big scene at Gröna Lund on the 3rd of July. The album was distributed by EMI throughout Sweden, but not abroad.
    At the time the album was released the band performed live at least two times a week, rehearsed two or three times while everyone held full-time jobs (four of them actually worked in music stores!). Råg I Ryggen's following in Stockholm grew bigger and sometimes they woul give records to people in the audience i they dared to ascend the stage amd sing with the band, and this would occur quite frequently. The band had their own sound technician and a friend doing the lightning, as well as a strict moral codex: no alcohol was allowed before or during a gig, although the audiences used to be loaded. The gigs would usually consist of two 45-minute sets, and usually they would be the only band of the evening, although they once performed alongside the blues-rock act Nature.
    When the day of the Gröna Lund gig came, the arranger told the band that they would be allowed to perform for half an hour at the most, and had to plan the track list accordingly. The volume was set by the band themselves and the performance was to be the second loudest ever measured at Gröna Lund (only Wishbone Ash had been louder). All went very well with a great connection between band and audience, but with only the final chorus of Sanningsserum left to play someone cut the power! This had previously happened to Jimi Hendrix some seven years earlier and that event is now part of Gröna Lund folklore, but this left both Råg I Ryggen and the visitors flabbergasted. The electricians at Gröna Lund initially claimed that a fuse has gone, but later admitted that they had actually cut the power to prevent Råg I Ryggen from playing as much as one second more than agreed.
    The band also played outside Stockholm, in places like Norrtälje, Orsa and Gävle. The distance was never too great though and the band always returned home to Nysse's parents after every gig, where sandwiches or a late dinner awaited them.
    The contract between Råg I Ryggen and Rondo stated that more songs should be recorded, but being week-end rock stars and full-time employees at once - combined with growing musical differences- finally took its toll on the band. In early 1976 vocalist Jonas Warnerbring and drummer Peter Sandberg left the band and they were replaced by Bo Lantz and Jonas Edgren respectively. This brought fresh influences and a new musical direction. The songs became more complex and the witty lyrics were brushed aside for more serious topics. Sadly this did not work out too well and the band made only a few live performances before breaking up about half a year later.
    None of the material written by the band's last line-up was ever recorded in a studio, and only a live performance with mediocre sound quality exists. This is sad, since the original vinyl version of Råg I Ryggen's only album currently swaps hands for about $ 100-150, and the album is generally considered a classic among connoisseurs of swedish progressive and hard rock.

    Status Quo - Picturesque Matchstickable Messages From The Status Quo
    Kind of strange and psychedelic, something like first Pink Floyd album but not as good. Although it's not bad, quite listenable I'd say.


    Slade - Beginnings
    Rather good debut. Nice to listen but there are no remarkable songs on it.


    Electric Light Orchestra - On the Third Day
    A decent album. It's not bad but ELO 2 was better. I think they might get more and more interesting with further releases. I hope they do.


    Hanoi Rocks - Self Destruction Blues
    Still nothing special but I see a progress comparing to their first two albums. I Want You and Taxi Driver are quite good songs.


    Lenny Kravitz - Mama Said
    It keeps the quality of its predecessor. Nice style, songs are really enjoyable and the song made with Slash is a nice surprise. I like this one.


    Staind - Break the Cycle
    Pretty good album with songs that are heavy but melodic at the same time. It sounds very cool.

  • Recently listened albums #8

    Out 25 2009, 20h21 por Chesster777


    The Calling - Camino Palmero
    Average one. Gems of this album are Unstoppable and Wherever You Will Go.
    The rest is not as memorable but is nice to listen to.


    Nirvana - Nevermind
    Enjoyable album with famous Smells Like Teen Spirit. But there are other very good tracks on it like In Bloom. Worth listening to.


    Hanoi Rocks - Oriental Beat
    Maybe slightly better than their previous one but it's still weak. Nothing interesting or catchy. I didn't like it.


    Short Cross - Arising
    Thanks to Mr. Wojciech Mann I discovered this guys and I'm very glad I did. They recorded a solid piece of rock. Unfortunately it's their only album. It's a shame they didn't gained any attention.


    Dead by Sunrise - Out Of Ashes
    I was waiting for a long time for this one. I like it though I've expected it to be better. Still, it's very good and songs like Fire, Crawl Back In and Let Down are amazing. Chester's vocal has always been my favorite.


    Electric Light Orchestra - ELO 2
    I was surprised. From what I remembered I didn't like their first one too much but I really enjoyed ELO 2. Especially anti-war song Kuiama. I must listen to their previous album one more time cause I think I missed something then.

  • Converge - Axe To Fall: recenzja!

    Out 7 2009, 21h12 por Blackscrew

    Dobra, bez zbędnego owijania - poloneza czas zacząć.

    TocarDark Horse - wyobraźcie sobie hardcore'owe Iron Maiden, które nie śmierdzi metalcorem. Czyli kopiący po uszach (w sensie, że pozytywnie) motyw przewodni, melodyka i brutalność. Zasłuchiwali się w NWOBHM. W połowie utwory typowe dla Converge zwolnienie, ciężar i no mercy, by potem zamieść pod dywan wątpliwości i kilka razy powtórzyć motyw przewodni. Fajny materiał na singiel. Utwór płynnie przechodzi w...
    Reap What You Sow, antytezę otwieracza. Bannon w życiowej formie, Ballou tłucze gęsto 150 motywów na sekundę. Intensywność, która poraża. Solo, żywcem wyjęte z Kill'em all Metalliki. Mniami.
    Axe To Fall: komplikowania struktury rytmicznej ciąg dalszy. Niby coś to przypomina, może fragment albumu Jane Doe?
    Effigy - trochę psychodeliki w stylu Queens of the Stone Age nie zaszkodzi? Co utwór to lepszy pomysł. Mieszają gęsto. Krew, pot i łzy.
    Worms Will Feed. Zaczyna się wolno, na zoverdrivowanej gitarze. Shellac gra Pink Floyd. Utwór trochę przypomina sześc pierwszych z albumu No Heroes. Troszeczkę. Jakieś pojękiwania Banoon'a. Dysonanse gitar. Na koniec antyrytmiczna sekcja zagrana w stylu Slayer'a rzekłbym.
    Wishing Well, Sonic Youth'owe intro, średnie tempo. I miazga. Converge idzie na wojnę. Od połowy utworu szybsze temp i znów wyjebane solo! Cholera, jak ONI to robią?
    Damages zaczyna się Meshuggahowatym motywem, po czym wchodzą bębny i przepotężny tłumiony riff. Karuzela się kręci się. Piękna końcówka utworu w stylu Neurosis.
    Losing Battle zalatuje trochę In Utero Nirvany. Początek. Bo i potem standardowo, z tym, że na wokal wpieprzył się Ballou - w refrenie.
    Dead Beat to z kolei taki mroczny hardcore. Gęsta perkusja, i mam pytanie? Czy panu Ballou gryf się nie kończy? Gra jak szalony 15490 motywów na sekundę.
    Cutter. A wyobraźcie sobie, że to zżyna z God Dethroned, okraszona bluesowymi mini solówkami. Brzmi niesamowicie.
    Slave Driver - następna wycieczka w ambitniejsze rejony. Średnie tempo, stary dobry Converge.
    Cruel Bloom to wycieczka w wodewilowe klimaty. Ballada, na wokalu Steve von Till. Która na koniec przeistacza się w istną kanonadę gitar i core'owego śpiewu.
    Wretched World. A oto i ich własna interpretacja Uriah Heep, rzekłbym. Czyste wokale. I tylko boli trochę, że przypomina Relief Genghis Tron'a w warstwie wokalnej.

    Diagnoza:
    Kazali czekać na swój następny album całe trzy i pół roku. Warto było.
    Wyważona produkcja, która nie trzeszczy jak w przypadku No Heroes, pomysły na utwory i w końcu wykonanie. Poraża.

    Plusy:
    Wszystko

    Minusy:
    Ostatni utwór trochę w stylu Relief Genghis Tron.

    Werdykt:
    Jedni te płytę pokochają (Lubię placki), inni znienawidzą (Daj kamienia). Znienawidzą za to, że jest ona tylko rozwinięciem pomysłów z Jane Doe i No Heroes. Tu nie ma żadnej rewolucji. To jest zespół, który wypracował własne brzmienie i niech się tego trzyma.
    Płyta zabija i poraża i sprawia, że ciągle chce jej się słuchać. Także od dziś do bliżej nieokreślonego momentu jestem hardcore'm.

    Ocena:
    9.9/10
