ARTIST MAINARTIST INFORELATED ARTISTSLINKSREVIEWS

Ebbot Lundberg (vocals) and Bjorn Olsson (guitar) were founders of the wildly exciting Swedish band Union Carbide Productions, which recorded several albums that mixed Captain Beefheart and punk (think Stooges) to wonderful effect in the late '80s.

After several albums in this new direction, {$Union Carbid...[more]

 

 

Issuing a double album in the 21st century, with increasing industry focus on single tracks and ringtones, seems crazy at best, pretentious at worst. Communion, the fifth album by Gothenburg, Sweden's rock sextet the Soundtrack of Our Lives, proves that assertion to be dead wrong. This band has stubbornly followed an inner sense of direction that embraces paradox while using the very best of what rock & roll has to offer in order to create powerful music. Communion's 24 tracks are spread over two d   [ read more ]

Sweden's the Soundtrack of Our Lives have been swinging for the rock fences for a decade.

A sprawling epic from these Swedes merges Doors, Stones, Beatles, Stooges, Middle Eastern sounds... rock's entire collective unconscious.Clandestinely classic Rock & Roll from Swedish band, The Soundtrack Of Our Lives, featuring former members of critically acclaimed late 80s/early 90s band's band Union Carbide Productions. These proverbial Godfathers of Swedish Rock resurrected themselves in 1996 as a retro, otherworldly pop/rock/psychedelic/folk juggernaut.

That the Soundtrack of Our Lives originally envisioned their debut LP as a 50-song box set speaks volumes about Welcome to the Infant Freebase's creativity and scope ? although the completed album contains a mere 20 tracks, the band's dark, dramatic reconfiguration of rock & roll's elemental forces nevertheless echoes the majesty and ambitions of classic albums past. Reinvigorating even the hoariest clichιs while somehow managing to avoid the pitfalls of nostalgia; the key is that TSOOL never    [ read more ]
