Inspired by prog-rock giants King Crimson, Swedish prog-rockers Anekdoten released their soaring guitar and mellotron-heavy debut, VEMOD, in 1993.
They started life as a prog rock tribute band in their native Sweden and released this debut album in late 1993. It was recorded at Studio Largen between March and April of that year and was self-produced along with Roger Skogh and Simon Nordberg. Their prevailing influence is mid-70's King Crimson, featuring a "frippertronically" sounding guitar and mellotron. The track "Sad Rain" was recorded at the rehearsal studio with Stommen's Mobile, April 1995. Produced by Tommy Andersson and Anekdoten
