#2097 Trad, Gras och Stenar - Trad, Gras och Stenar

What a gloriously scattered mess, has there ever been an album structured quite like it?

 - 8 minute cover
 - 11 minute cover
 - 3 minute jam that devolves into 2 minutes of field recording
 - 2 minute live freakout
 - 6 minutes of whistles, clapping and chanting
 - 5 minutes of mouth harp, sitar drones, and Swedish sing-moaning

it's the most uneven thing I've ever heard - again, to the point of gloriousness. 19 minutes of All Along the Watchtower into Satisfaction is the highlight, the latter getting exploded out into psychadelic genius till you don't know which way is up. The rest seems there just as a counterbalance, to keep it unpigeonholed. Mission accomplished, I guess, shit 4/5
