Anekdoten is a Swedish progressive rock group and were along with Landberk and Änglagård pioneers in the revival of the Swedish progressive scene in the early 1990s.
This well recorded live album mostly consists of high energy versions of tracks
from their "Gravity" and "From Within" albums. Anekdoten play a mesmerizing hard rock sound with lots of dark mellotron and other
keyboards. The band are Nicklas Barker (voice, guitars, Mellotron), Anna Sofi Dahlberg (Mellotron, keyboards, voice....minus the cello here on this live album), Jan Erik Liljeström (bass, voice) and Peter Nordins (drums, cymbals, Mellotron). 
This double vinyl album was recorded in Tokyo on two nights in February of 2005. There is also 2 new songs to help enjoy this Mellotron drenched masterpiece (Moons Of Mar and This Too Will Pass). My only complaint is that there are not enough songs from their first two albums which I adore as well......but that is just me being me !
A stunning Live album that will shake your neighbours and leave you wanting more ........Anekdoten are an amazing band and if you are a fan of RED era King Crimson then this is right in your wheelhouse !
