REVIEW: On the new CD with Benny Andersson Band reminiscences of older pop join together with folk tune and other popular music, Ulf Gustavsson writes.<\/strong><\/p>\n

++++<\/strong><\/p>\n

Benny Andersson mixes musical genres like no one else, sometimes in the same song. Yet it\u00b4s no doubt that the music comes from him. It is in a special esprit, a melodic flow, the ability to tread the familiar musical grounds with the eyes of a curious child.<\/p>\n

On the new CD with Benny Andersson Band reminiscences of older Swedish pop join together with folk tune and other popular music. Here is a hilarious circus polka, as well as the excellent Tommy K\u00f6rberg ballad “Jag h\u00f6r” (I hear…) Or a musical influenced anthem with a little Kristina feeling when Helen Sj\u00f6holm sings “Vilar glad. I din famn” (Resting Happy. In your arms) with lyrics by Kristina Lugn.<\/p>\n

Most of all I appreciate the moments when Benny Andersson settles close to the Swedish folk music, in a song like “Alla goda ting” (All Good Things), one of those rare major- minor- meandering melodies. Or when he approaches Peterson-Berger in the piano miniature “Flickornas rum” (The Girls Room).<\/p>\n
