Lars Eric Mattsson Review of "Obsession" @ iTunes t first I thought Mr. Mattsson was an Yngwie J. Malmsteen disciple, but I later realized he's got more in common with Michael Schenker. Mattsson's melodic playing just flat-out *sings* the way Herr Schenker's best work does. Most of the music here has a commercial UFO vibe, with a dash of Deep Purple heaviness; if you've ever fantasized about how Schenker would sound playing in Purple, check out "Long Way Home." There's some exotic sitar thrown in for good measure, and vocalist Bjorn Lodin's has a weird feline quality that's oddly pleasing, too. "Caught In Your Web," "Time And Again," "Mother Forgive," and "Eyes Of A Child" are the best songs. Very cool. © SFK Magazine Alive Messenger Long Way Home
