E.G.G.U.M. – Jan Eggum

Modern Eggum

Jan Eggum´s latest release in the 1980s testify to the artist’s ability to constantly renew himself and is a great example of Eggum´s taste for new challenges. When E.G.G.U.M. was released in 1985, it was noticeable that Eggum had experimented in the studio. The collaboration with producer Erik Hillestad and famous musicians like Morten Halle, Nils Petter Molvær and Knut Værnes had resulted in a more modern sound than what had been typical of Eggum´s previous releases. Songs like "Stilig", "Mang slags kjærlighet", "Kem har betalt det" and "Tre er en for mye" confirmed that Eggum delivered future classics. Meanwhile, this release expresses Eggum´s versatility, not least through the musical playfulness that presented him as a fearless and a very little self-important artist.
