Grupa iz Uppsale u Švedskoj s atraktivnim, osobnim albumom. Nedisciplinirana Lucy bili su Pelle Lindroth na vokalu/gitari, Mikael Eriksson na gitari, Jakob Luttinger na basu, Arvid Nerdal na klavijaturama, Elías Unge na bubnjevima/udaraljkama, Gunnar Oestman na violini i Lisa Fagius na violončelu. Snimili su EP pod nazivom ''Klaun'' za švedsku izdavačku kuću Step One Records, ali su im zbog neuspjeha otkazani planovi za već pripremljeni debitantski album. Grupa se preselila u Stockholm, na glasu istražujući nove glazbene smjerove, ali nekoliko godina kasnije odlučili su da je ovo djelo predobro da bi ostalo zatvoreno u ladici. Budući da je Angular Records bio zainteresiran za njihov rad od 1997. godine, objavljivanje knjige ''About the black eyed girl'' postalo je istinito 1999. godine putem njihove podružnice RectAngular Records.Bio je to konceptualni album o djevojci Lucy, koja je bila uvjerena da ima moć promijeniti svijet, a grupa je priču odjenula pripovijedanjem i pjevačkim dijelovima slijedeći koncept. Zvučno nedisciplinirana Lucy bila je prilično čudna, iako prilično originalna grupa. Njihov vokal Pelle Lindroth pjeva do kraja u vrlo kazališnom stilu sličnom respektabilnijim Neo Prog djelima ovog pjevačkog stila, dok neke delikatne melodije sadržane slijede i isto raspoloženje. No, stil benda otišao daleko izvan tog pristupa. Prisutnost violončelista i violinista uvela je mnogo Sympho elemenata, ali ne na tipičan prog način, već u vrlo komornom glazbenom stilu s proširenim gudačkim aranžmanima i bujnim orkestracijama postavljenim preko Lindrothovog glasa. Na kraju album dobiva vrlo bajkovitu atmosferu, koja prolazi između glatkih klasično natopljenih tema, progresivnog rocka pod vodstvom gitare i melodičnijih tekstura, u osnovi vođenih Lindrothovom sposobnošću da ponudi sanjiv i izražajan vokal. Međutim, čini se da često upadaju u svoj osobni identitet s albumom koji rijetko izlazi iz matrice komornih orkestracija s kazališnim aspektima i ovo djelo zvuči prilično slično do posljednjeg trenutka. Kvaliteta glazbe ipak je uvijek na visokoj razini s nekim prekrasnim odlomcima, punim eteričnih boja.Nažalost, tragovi benda su izgubljeni nakon albuma, dokumentirani kao Indisciplined Lucyno prvo i posljednje cjelovečernje izdanje. Pjevač Pelle Lindroth prešao je na osobnu karijeru pod imenom Parken, a svirao je i u Indie Pop točki Chrysler.Također je svirao sa svojim kolegom iz benda Jakobom Luttingerom u velikom elektroničkom projektu Moder Jords Massiva.Violončelistica Lisa Fagius pojavila se i na drugom albumu A.C.T'-a ''Imaginary Friends''.
Nije ni blizu savršenstva, ali svatko nakon nekog jedinstvenog i kazališnog Progresivnog rocka trebao bi ovo loviti. Preporučen.LADISLAV&Z………….
A band from Uppsala, Sweden with an attractive, personal album. Undisciplined Lucy was Pelle Lindroth on vocals/guitar, Mikael Eriksson on guitar, Jakob Luttinger on bass, Arvid Nerdal on keyboards, Elías Unge on drums/percussion, Gunnar Oestman on violin and Lisa Fagius on cello. They recorded an EP called "Clown" for Swedish label Step One Records, but their plans for their already prepared debut album were cancelled due to the failure. The group moved to Stockholm, reputedly exploring new musical directions, but a few years later they decided this work was too good to remain enclosed in a drawer. Since Angular Records has been interested in their work since 1997, the release of "About the black eyed girl" became true in 1999 through their subsidiary RectAngular Records.It was a concept album about a girl named Lucy, who was convinced that she had the power to change the world, and the group put the story on storytelling and singing parts following the concept. The sound-undisciplined Lucy was a rather strange, albeit rather original group. Their vocalist Pelle Lindroth sings to the end in a very theatrical style similar to the more respectable Neo Prog works of this singing style, while some delicate melodies contained follow the same mood. But the style of the band went far beyond that approach. The presence of cellists and violinists introduced many Sympho elements, but not in a typical prog way, but in a very chamber musical style with extended string arrangements and lush orchestrations placed over Lindroth's voice. In the end, the album gets a very fairytale atmosphere, which runs between smooth classically soaked themes, progressive guitar-led rock and more melodic textures, basically driven by Lindroth's ability to offer dreamy and expressive vocals. However, they often seem to fall into their personal identity with an album that rarely emerges from a matrix of chamber orchestrations with theatrical aspects and this work sounds pretty similar until the last minute. The quality of music, however, is always at a high level with some beautiful passages, full of ethereal colors. Unfortunately, traces of the band were lost after the album, documented as Indisciplined Lucy's first and final full-length release. Singer Pelle Lindroth moved on to a personal career under the name Parken, and also played in Indie Pop point Chrysler.He also played with his bandmate Jakob Luttinger in the big electronic project Moder Jords Massiva.Cellist Lisa Fagius appeared on A.C.T's second album Imaginary Friends.
It's nowhere near perfection, but everyone after some unique and theatrical Progressive Rock should be chasing this. Recommended.LADISLAV&Z.............

Un groupe d’Uppsala, en Suède, avec un album attrayant et personnel. Indiscipliné Lucy était Pelle Lindroth au chant / guitare, Mikael Eriksson à la guitare, Jakob Luttinger à la basse, Arvid Nerdal aux claviers, Elías Unge à la batterie / percussions, Gunnar Oestman au violon et Lisa Fagius au violoncelle. Ils ont enregistré un EP appelé « Clown » pour le label suédois Step One Records, mais leurs plans pour leur premier album déjà préparé ont été annulés en raison de l’échec. Le groupe a déménagé à Stockholm, explorant de nouvelles directions musicales, mais quelques années plus tard, ils ont décidé que cette œuvre était trop belle pour rester enfermée dans un tiroir. Comme Angular Records s’intéresse à leur travail depuis 1997, la sortie de « About the black eyed girl » est devenue vraie en 1999 par le biais de leur filiale RectAngular Records.It était un album concept sur une fille nommée Lucy, qui était convaincue qu’elle avait le pouvoir de changer le monde, et le groupe a mis l’histoire sur des parties de narration et de chant suivant le concept. Lucy, indisciplinée au son, était un groupe plutôt étrange, bien que plutôt original. Leur chanteur Pelle Lindroth chante jusqu’à la fin dans un style très théâtral similaire aux œuvres neo prog plus respectables de ce style de chant, tandis que certaines mélodies délicates contenues suivent la même humeur. Mais le style du groupe est allé bien au-delà de cette approche. La présence de violoncellistes et de violonistes a introduit de nombreux éléments Sympho, mais pas d’une manière typique, mais dans un style musical très chambreux avec des arrangements de cordes étendus et des orchestrations luxuriantes placées sur la voix de Lindroth. En fin de compte, l’album obtient une atmosphère de conte de fées très féerique, qui se déroule entre des thèmes classiquement imbibés lisses, rock progressif dirigé par la guitare et des textures plus mélodiques, essentiellement motivée par la capacité de Lindroth à offrir des voix rêveur et expressives. Cependant, ils semblent souvent tomber dans leur identité personnelle avec un album qui émerge rarement d’une matrice d’orchestrations de chambre avec des aspects théâtraux et cette œuvre sonne assez similaire jusqu’à la dernière minute. La qualité de la musique, cependant, est toujours à un niveau élevé avec quelques beaux passages, pleins de couleurs éthérées. Malheureusement, des traces du groupe ont été perdues après l’album, documenté comme la première et dernière sortie complète de Lucy indisciplined. Le chanteur Pelle Lindroth est passé à une carrière personnelle sous le nom de Parken, et a également joué dans Indie Pop point Chrysler.Il a également joué avec son camarade de groupe Jakob Luttinger dans le grand projet électronique Moder Jords Massiva.Cellist Lisa Fagius est apparu sur le deuxième album de A.C.T Imaginary Friends.
C’est loin d’être la perfection, mais tout le monde après un rock progressif unique et théâtral devrait courir après cela. Recommandé.LADISLAV&Z.............
