TWICE A MAN planted the seed for "The Coloured Breeze Is a New Dimension" with the song 'Dahlia', a 'new' track that was written to complement the compilation album "Songs of Future Memories". For three years, the Swedish dark electronic trio fertilised and nurtured the germ bud until it had taken firm root in their musical heritage and began to send offshoots to find new sonic spots beyond any previously built garden walls. "The Coloured Breeze Is a New Dimension" is an organic entity that creates something new by re-combining its musical DNA in various ways. As a result its tracks blossom in many hues of electronic colours.

It´s an album about hope and frustration in mankind and on a personal level and much like the previous Mindstunt albums it´s about longing.

Caroline Ridderstolpe's music remained virtually unknown for almost 200 years, until Anna Paradiso rediscovered it as part of her research into nineteenth-century Swedish salon music. Born in Berlin, Ridderstolpe received an extensive musical education that included singing, instrument-playing and composition. After her marriage to a member of the Swedish aristocracy, she settled in Sweden, participated in the salons held at the royal court and socialised with some of the finest musicians, writers and painters of her time. Ridderstolpe mainly composed songs and pieces for solo piano that belong to the genre of salon music which, far from being mediocre as is sometimes claimed, actually allows greater intimacy with the listeners.

Swedish jazz pianist and composer Isabell Gustafsson-Ny deconstructs folk music on 'Rosenhagtorn', taking a minimalist's approach as she strips familiar concepts down to their barest bones to encourage deep listening and focus on repetitions and harmonics. When she was working on the album, Gustafsson-Ny imagined it as a house with each song playing in a different room. This allowed her to pare her ideas down considerably, working often with just single melodic lines that phase and repeat, allowing us to take in the character of the instrument and perceive the tiniest compositional phrases. On the intro for example, scratchy Northern European fiddle sounds are slowed down to enhance the tonal variations; it's over in two minutes, but readies us for 'Upprepning', a short, rhythmic piano study that sounds like Steve Reich playing casually in someone's front room. It's the tiny details that makes the album so transfixing; even when Gustafsson-Ny is venturing further from discernible folk music, she takes the effort to absorb similar sonic characteristics. So the pedal sounds and room tones become additional instruments - she doesn't need field recordings, we're right there.

Celebrating 30 years of Nils Landgren Funk Unit. The year 1994 marks the birth of the Funk Unit. When I got the offer from Siggi Loch to join his new label ACT, the first thing he did was to change the original band name Unit to Funk Unit. When I asked why, he answered: ”because you play funk” – and right he was. The rest is history. After 30 years of albums, touring and everything connected to it, I thought it would be great to go somewhere special for our 30th anniversary recording session. I happen to have a dear friend, Johan Lundgren, who used to be my trombone student lightyears ago, and he, together with another friend, Fredrik Thomander, built a fantastic Recording Studio in Palma on the island of Mallorca. Wouldn’t it be a great opportunity for us all, after all these years together, to record the album in a relaxed setting, being able to fully concentrate on our task? To make an album celebrating our 30-year history as a funk band from Sweden.

Amanda is now releasing her third album on the Ladybird label. Amanda once again invites the listener to her well-turned and swinging melodic jazz in Swedish, but the listener can also sense a sour self-distance in the middle of the warm and everyday considerations. Amanda Ginsburg sings about the simple in everyday life, the seemingly banal stories that make up a large part of all of our lives, and she does it with gusto.

"Waterloo" is the first single from the Swedish pop group ABBA's second album of the same name, and their first under the Atlantic label in the US. This was also the first single to be credited to the group performing under the name ABBA. The title and lyrics reference the 1815 Battle of Waterloo, and use it as a metaphor for a romantic relationship. The Swedish version of the single was backed with the Swedish version of "Honey, Honey", while the English version featured "Watch Out" on the B-side.
