We wanted to see if we could pull off playing Crimso-songs, primarily from the Wetton-era, as this was our main source for inspiration at the time.

[de] Anekdoten

Anekdoten ist eine schwedische Progressive-Rock-Band, die 1991 gegründet wurde. Als vormalige King-Crimson-Coverband sehen sich die Mitglieder in der Tradition von Van der Graaf Generator und Magma und werden deswegen zur Vorhut der Retro-Prog-Welle der 1990er Jahre gezählt. Ihre Musik zeichnet sich durch einen hohen Mellotron-Anteil und, insbesondere auf ihren Frühwerken, durch einen dominanten, stark verzerrten E-Bass-Sound aus.
