Eric Malmberg - Den gåtfulla människan
Contrary to some beliefs, the only instrument used on this CD is the organ. The same is true for two of the previous Sagor & Swing albums, “Melodier och fåglar” and “Allt hänger samman”. No synthesizers are involved. We know of no artist that has gone into more depth regarding the treatment of the Hammond organ as a general sound generator than Eric Malmberg.
Reviews
Malmberg eschews familiar organ clichés (there's not a single soul flourish in sight), opting instead for an almost classical-pop style that's pretense-free, I might add. And, though the deep sonic richness of the organ spans centuries, there's a modern dimension to the recording too; the ascending and descending whorls haunting the background of “Människan och evigheten” could be taken for a Kraftwerk nod. Häpna describes Den gåtfulla människan as “a highly personal record (and) a travel into the human psyche” and, while I've no doubt that that's true, what'll stay with you longest are the album's timelessly simple yet melancholy melodies.”
