Aah, tankarna går direkt till tidernas kanske bästa thriller-/skräckfilm Don’t Look Now 😱

Hands down the most iconic 🇸🇪 pop album of this millennium.

Yesterday I let the 9yo watch Jaws for the first time, and today he made this Lego re-enactment 😅

6. There Is A Light That Never Goes Out

The definition of anthemic. For Swedes of a certain generation also forever associated with the painful funeral scene in the final episode of the great tv series ’Spung’.

Quote a record that you found in your parents collection when you were young.

This one was on constant repeat the year I was 5. It wasn’t until much later I found out Agnetha had also been in a band.

Friday greetings from Brussels. Belgian brutalism + Crevette Records, one of best stores for electronic music I’ve ever been to 👏🎶

Either that, or letting the principles as taught in this novel guide you. Problem is, if you do it correctly, you’ll probably be forced to vote also for some of your least favourite songs 😅

1. Massive Attack: Protection

In 94 everything MA touched turned into gold. Standout ’Three’ finds Nicolette marvel at the beauty of the world while staring inmentionable grief right in the eye.

Tracks: Three, Better Things, Euro Child, Sly

2. Suede: Dog Man Star

Blur, Oasis and Radiohead all made nice retro pop/rock in the mid ’90s, but this… this is definitely something else.

Tracks: Introducing The Band, Heroine, Daddy’s Speeding, The Asphalt World

3. The Future Sound Of London: ISDN

At first it just seemed too wild and untamable, but something kept pulling me back again and again. Ultimately, a multifaceted, full-fledged classic revealed itself.

Tracks: Just A Fuckin’ Idiot, Slider, Dirty Shadows, Egypt, Amoeba

4. Stina Nordenstam: And She Closed Her Eyes

A triumph of melancholia and understated musicianship, Stina’s sophomore effort is one of the all-time greatest 🇸🇪 pop albums. Ingmar Bergman’s spirit indeed.

Tracks: When Debbie’s Back From Texas, Viewed From The Spire, Fireworks

5. Nick Cave And The Bad Seeds: Let Love In

Imo Nick’s undisputed career peak. This album marked the start of my Nick Cave obsession, which would last for at least three years.

Tracks: Do You Love Me?, Loverman, I Let Love In

6. Electronic Eye: Closed Circuit

Back in the day I picked the cd up from the bargain bin at B&W (like 🇸🇪 Tesco), and it’s now a real rarity. More importantly, it contains some of Richard H Kirk’s finest music! Available on youtube 👌🎶

Tracks: Counter Insurgent, Cloud Chamber Dub

7. Autechre: Amber

My mate bought it when it came out and, strange as it might sound now, it was the most far-out electronic music I’d heard up to that point. The year after, Rob & Sean would raise the bar once again 😁.

Tracks: Foil, Glitch, Piezo

8. Saint Etienne: Tiger Bay

Dub, girl group melodies, gentle techno and cinematic strings. Absolutely adorable.

Tracks: Urban Clearway, Former Lover, Marble Lions, Cool Kids Of Death

9. Nine Inch Nails: The Downward Spiral

Not only did Trent Reznor create the most angular techno thrash album to date, but he also infused a healthy dose of blues vibe into the mix, making the final result strikingly original.

Tracks: Mr Self Destruct, Ruiner, A Warm Place
