I could write an essay about this album and how much it still rocks my world, decades after first discovering it - except I can't because it's fucking difficult and I've already done it twice before. Still, this will be a slightly more ranty addition than usual and not always that Metal-focused... This particular oddity compiles the very young talents of the Helge's youth centre in the town of Gävle. The magic is in the completely unbrideled A-side, were grade/mid-school kids have been let loose to run rampant with juvenile creativity without the usual restraints and adult finger-pointing. Basically a must-buy for fans of Incredibly Strange Music, but not so much for Obscure Metal fans, even though the Metal-content is unusually high for a local Swedish comp. Includes insert with line-ups. An MC-only follow-up called "More Girls Than Boys" was produced in 1989 (TOP Want!) as well as a CD ("Absolute Helges 1" in 1993 (some Metal content). |
