HANS ANNELLSSON - ARE YOU PREPARED ? - THE PIANO ALBUM

Hans Annéllsson has just released "Are You Prepared ? - The Piano Album".
You'll only need to listen five seconds to figure out that the title is a play on words for the prepared piano that is being used.
Solo prepared piano, to be more precisely.

Odd and strange, but with a certain appeal.

 

NEW ALBUM BY THE VEGETARIANS

Eclectic Music Ensemble The Vegetarians Release New Album “Bill Haley”

The Vegetarians is a project lead by Hans Annellsson, composer & musician from Sweden, working together with several different singers such as John Tabacco, Robin Schell, John Crowe, Marc Mollan, John Marshall Gibbs and Napoleon Murphy Brock. The project started around 2000 as a vehicle for recording some prog covers of YES, Frank Zappa, King Crimson, Genesis, ELP, Adrian Belew, Peter Hammill etc. The prog covers can be found on the albums “Remustered & Remixed Salad” and “The Calling”.

The new album, “Bill Haley,” a mixture of Prog/Alternative/Classic Rock, consists of fourteen original songs, mostly written by Annellsson-Tabacco, and one cover written by Susan DeVita. The recording was done by sending files back and forth. John recorded all his vocals at his studio in Long Island and Hans recorded his parts at Annellssongs studio, the mix being done at Studio Loftet in Malmö, Sweden. There are plenty of musicians on the album, most notably Morgan Ågren (Devin Townsend, Mats/Morgan Band, Zappa’s Universe) on drums, Mats Öberg (Mats/Morgan Band, Zappa’s Universe) on keyboards & harmonica and Dan Bornemark on keyboards.

The Vegetarians performed at the “Zappanale Festival” in Germany in 2011, and hope to perform there again in the future.

THE VEGETARIANS - LET'S HAVE A GOOD TIME

• the vegetarians: let's have a good time
      (2016, download, usa, cdbaby)

Hans Annéllson's project, The Vegetarians, has just released "Let's Have A Good Time".

Short but oh so sweet.

Four tracks. Hans plays most of the instruments, but there are some remarkable guests as well !!

'Let's Have A Good Time", has Napoleon Murphy Brock on vocals;
'Old Sam', has Napoleon Murphy Brock on vocals, and Jimmy Agren on superb slide guitar;
'Titles' of which the lyrics are made up of the titles of various Zappa compositions. Hilarious.
and, last but not least,
'Amnerika', the vocal version. Written by Frank Zappa and recently released (with vocals) on "Frank Zappa For President". Sung by Napoleon Murphy Brock and featuring Mats Öberg on grand piano and harmonica.

Essential stuff.

NEW ALBUM BY HANS ANNELLSSON

HANS ANNELLSSON / MATS ÖBERG - FRAN A -> Ö

• hans annéllsson / mats öberg : fran a -> ö
      (2015, cd, sweden, annellssongs)

When Hans Annéllsson and Mats Öberg team up, my expectations go up as well.
On "Fran a -> ö", both Hans and Mats contribute about half of the songs.
Hans Annéllsson's songs are more laid-back pop and rock, while Mats Öberg's adds a bit more spice.

Biggest surprise on this album is a Swedish version of Frank Zappa's 'Penis Dimension', entitled "Penisens Storlek' and sung by female vocalist Pia Aprea !
A different angle, to say the least.

I also have to mention 'Pivo', a track by Björn Jason Lindh that gets some sort of 'zappa-treatment'.
Excellent.
