| Creeps - Enjoy the Creeps
|
(Tracks On Wax WAX-1001 Swe-86 VG+ 375:-)
This Swedish retro act from Älmhult, Småland, aims squarely at mid-’60s garage rock, aping the bands that aped the Yardbirds, but thanks to inspired playing and inventive arrangements, they succeed in adding to the tradition rather than just running in place.
Recorded with period-appropriate atmosphere (i.e. a thick, dirty echo), the Creeps bang out nine originals, delivered with power and precision.

| Höglund, Kjell - Hjärtat sitter till Vänster
|
(Alternativ ALP-7 Swe-75 VG+ 800:-)
Kjell Örjan Höglunds musik präglas av litterärt och filosofiskt påverkade texter. Efter 1970-talets trubadurliknade stil utvecklade han under 1980-talet mer elektroniskt präglade arrangemang.
'Hjärtat sitter till Vänster' är hans femte album och innehåller några av hans mest omtyckta låtar, kanske framför "Inåt" och "Min egen begravning".

| Lundsten, Ralph - Alpha Ralpha Boulevard

(Harvest 7C-062-35666 Swe-79 VG+ 500:-)
Ralph Harold Lundsten was a Swedish composer of electronic music, as well as a film director, visual artist, and author. During the 1950s Lundsten built his own electronic musical instruments and was one of the pioneers in this field.
Soothing Ambient instrumentals layer dreamy melodies over breezy background synths. Musicians include seasoned studio players Janne Schaffer and Georg "Jojje" Wadenius on guitars.
The vinyl has a superficial mark on track A1.

| Zamla Mammaz Manna – Familjesprickor
|
(Silence SRS-4662 Swe-80 VG+ 400:-)
Samla Mammas Manna fused jazz-rock and music associated with circus and theatre. Their unique sound has made them one of the most internationally acclaimed bands of the Swedish Progressive Movement.
After their 1976 tour, the band took a break which led to guitarist Coste Apetrea leaving the band. As influential as he was to Samla's style, it was inevitable that their sound would change with him out of the group. Eino Haapala filled the void, and as the band took on a more improvisational approach, they also changed the spelling of their name to Zamla Mammaz Manna.
Their final album, 'Familjesprickor', appeared in 1980. Lars Hollmer and Eino Haapala then formed Von Zamla.
