ALBUM REVIEW
"Måltid" is a very fine 2nd release from Samla Mammas Manna. It's definetly a grower for some but it's a rewarding album nevertheless. Production could have been more steady and balanced, but the incredibly interesting and convincingly original songs makes up for it. "Måltid", like all SMM albums, gives you a feeling of what really this album is? Well, it's a mix of Jazz-rock, RIO/Experimental and diverse other genres added with a nice touch of the ecletic and nearly flawless instrumentation of these crazy swedes. Keyboardist Lars Hollmer in practical is a standout here with his entertaining yet serious playing on the tangents. The rest of the band does an impressive performance throughout the rest of the album...Overall, I would say that this is an important addition to your prog-collection if you like either Jazz-Rock/Fusion or RIO (or both for that matter). SMM's "Måltid" is a entertaining and adventurous release that every open-minded person should try. (B.Lunde)
