You’ve already seen the sleeve to Green’s Restaurant “Ekofiskfält” on the website for a while. This wonderful nugget was originally released 20 years ago as a tape, and for each year we celebrate with an extra bonus track. The CD comes with liner notes by Testbild!’s Petter Herbertsson (a.k.a Sjtjekn). Scheduled for release in october or november, but you don’t need to wait that long to hear a first sample: just tune in our next podcast.

Later this winter it’s time for another Swedish experimental classic; Datahysteri’s “27 Visions Of The Door”. This duo from Sigtuna made several great tapes in the late 80’s and “27 Doors” was one of the best. Of course with several bonus tracks.
