Family Cracks .......2006-05-01

This album is probably their best, at least it sounds the most mature to compare with their early work. The first three tracks sound as a contiguous (and excellent) piece. It opens with an excellent, dynamic Five Single Combats, (with minimal vocals and thus minimal mockery) which ends abruptly and flows into the next track, Ventilation Calculation, well composed and performed, complemented by some skillful empty-bottle puffing (very much Samla style). Forge follows with no interruption concluding the continuity in the most intense manner. Thrall reminds of Henry Cow's style and sounds like moans of a scared apparition (what's thrall anyway?) The Short Story is a brilliant composition, their musical dexterity in full swing. The rocking Pappa and the Farmland and Kernel are very good too, the mocking vocals notwithstanding.

Zamla plays more beautiful than ever!.......2006-01-28

This album spans over everything that Zamla (Samla) is known for: Tricky instrumentals with chunks of rock, jazz and European folk music. There is even a almost "normal" rock tune, Pappa With Right Of Veto...which really rocks! The humour and improvisatins are present on this album as well, but not as much as we are used to. (Plenty of that on Schlagerns Mystik/For Aldre Nybegynnare...save that for later!)
Family Cracks is my personal favourite among everything I've heard by the Samla family. It's very musical, very beautiful. I can almost imagine George Duke sitting in on The Farmhand.

Product Description

2003 reissue of this 1978 double album. Members of Zamla Mammaz Manna included: Hans Bruniusson (drums, xylophone, chimes, vibraphone, song), Eino Haapala (electric guitar, acoustic guitar, vibraphone, song), Lars Hollmer (electric piano, Korg polyphonic, Hohner-symphonic grand piano, accordion, song), Lars Krantz (electric bass, double-bass, acoustic guitar, song). Samla Mammas Manna started in the early '70s and are still a vivid band. This is their second name in their three different progressive guises, reflecting the beginning of their more experimental aspects. This intense and energetic music is filled with happy pranks and fast turnings and has for more than 25 years amused its listeners all over the world. This double album consists of an album of live improvisations from 1977 and an album of more typical Samla/Zamla material, although with more of a folky influence that shows through more than ever before. Frontman Lars Hollmer has beside his solo career also been part of several international musical constellations (Ramlösa Kvällar, Fem Söker En Skatt, Accordion Tribe).
