Comment: this monumental
live gig includes 20 tracks within 84 minutes by the legendary Icelandic
alternative group The Sugarcubes who was the first Icelandic group reached
international acclaim from the island. The collective and Bjork`s solo career
might indirectly open the way for other Icelandic groups either – Sigur Ros,
mùm, Mugison, Amiina if to name just some combos among others. Although I am
being Bjork`s fan for many years my experiences with The Sugarcubes have not
been so pleasant and expected because of chiming a little bit monotonous and
annoying in longer time spans. On the other side, Kukl was far
more sympathetic thanks to their more avant-garde approach in music and
concept. In true, in live they used to sound remarkably better mostly due to
Bjork and Einar Örn Benediktsson`s erratic and tumultuous singing manner. The
best moment is presented in midway – A Day
Called Zero is a gravity-lost jazz-y wonder.
