Torbjorn Zetterberg & Den Stora Fragan: Are You Happy ?
Con il successivo «Plingplongpiano» si cambia registro verso un minimalismo dal profumo d'incenso, un bordone quasi immobile di organo sul quale il contrabbasso archettato di Zetterberg ed il trombone di Mats Äleklint Quartet innalzano inni sonori. I profumi orientali e l'atmosfera zen di «Drommusik» fanno il paio con l'atmosfera notturna di «Paminnelser For Den Kortsinnade» e preparano il terreno a «Nytt Hopp Over Atlanten» il brano più aperto del lotto, ritmi irregolari e invenzioni solistiche a farla da padrone.
La chiusura con la title-track è venata da un fragile lirismo (bellezza e felicità sono delicatamente sussurrate) che, declinato in varie forme e in diverse modalità, pervade l'intero album.
Album della settimana.
