Green's Restaurant - Viktoriaplan Cassette 1990
Another cassette from the brilliant Patrik Markusson and his Green's Restaurant. At this point he was in full midi-mode but despite of this kind of synth-sound the music is still brilliant and full of interesting turns and stops. Do not miss this stuff!

Green's Restaurant - Mulna Dagar Cassette 1988
Green's Restaurant were from Sweden and participated in the very interesting experimental scene in the late 80's. They released a lot of cassettes and one LP full of strange and wonderful music. This is the bands third release.

Hot Sox - Plaster Force 7" 1982
Hot Sox were an experimental new wave / post punk band from Finland. I don't know anything about them, but they released an excellent album called "Das kapital" which can be found on spotify and other streaming apps. Do not miss that album (and their fantastic cover of "Purple haze"). This is their last single before disbanding. Great plastic twist music!

Anathema - Crucified 7" 1987
Anathema were a short lived goth band based in Malmö. The band consisted of Stefan Celitsa and Tobias Lorentz, some synths and a drum machine. They only released this single which is a classic late 80's goth single kind of like The Mission, Sisters of Mercy or any German goth band. After Anathema Stefan started Colour Collision and Tobbe started working in the music business.

Ana Chron Sex - Crow Dance 7" 1986
I think this was the first release on the label Accelerating Blue Fish, based in Malmö in Sweden. I don't know much about Ana Chron Sex. They only released this single and made one track on the compilation I posted before. Some of the members later played in Chainsaw Zombies. This is excellent gothic rock in the late 80's vein.

Knep & Knåp Cassette 1986
Another one of local organization 33-45 based in Malmö, Sweden. This is their annual report in 1986 showing a lot of great bands from the area. Ana Chron Sex also made one excellent goth single. Påskharen made one incomprehensible single and also appears on the newly released "Ingen våg"-compilation on Rundgång Rekords (check it out!). Page is silly minimal synth as usual. Dr Evil & the Boys From Below were an industrial band that also made a single at about the same time as this release. Sun Connections features Louise Epstein, now a famous radio host in Sweden. Anathema is great goth rock (also made a single). Arvid Tuba is, of course, the famous drum machine-poet from Falun. The rest is pretty decent rock from -86. All very obscure and intriguing.
