Anyone who is into the Fripp/Wetton/Bruford/Cross KC should pick up the new album by Anekdoten, "Vemod".
Here is the line-up:
Nicklas Berg-Guitar, Mellotron
Anna Sofi Dahlberg-Cello, Mellotron, Vox
Jan Erik Liljestrom-Bass, Vox
Peter Nordin-Percussives
Although they don't have the virtuoso abilities of KC, they are quite good musicians and they almost have the KC "sound" down perfectly. The bass player sounds especially like Wetton and the guitarist has many of Fripp's sound and Fripperisms. What he lacks is Fripps amazing lead lines. They also have the moody, Gothic Mellotron sound. This is a very heavy intense album.
