From Grooves #20, about the iDEAL Festival 2006:
Viktor Sjöberg is one of the hidden treasures of the Swedish avant-garde scene, moving eclectically and effortlessly between pop, hip-hop (in the broadest sense of the word), and art sounds. For this occasion, Sjöberg had put together an all-star ensemble out of the Swedish underground. The pianist, turntablist, guitarists, trumpet player, and all of the laptops created a dreamlike state of past pop culture, as snippets from musical history were studied, elongated, inverted, and expanded on. Sjöberg’s take on ensemble member Johan Gustavsson’s take on Billie Holiday’s take on “Gloomy Sunday” was very close to breathtaking.
An out-of-tune instrument ruined the trance-like state of the audience for just a minute. The break was just long enough for people to wake up and enjoy the look of it all: Some ensemble members may have been wearing suits for the first time.
