Stranded Rekords was founded in 1979 by Klas Lunding as a continuation of the fanzine Stranded. It began as  a part of the swedish punk scene with artists as Incest Brothers and Travolta Kids. It soon left the punk scene and headed in the opposite direction. The new motto was "stil, skönhet och elegans" (style beauty and elegance). It became the home for artists such as Lustans Lakejer and Ratata. In 1984 the company was sold to Stickan Andersson at Polar, and in 1986 Stranded was history...

In 2010 the company was revived and Klas Lunding is back at the helm together with Ismail Samie. They have now signed with prominent artistslike Håkan Hellström, Anna Järvinen and more.

37 minuter i Stockholms City was released in 1982 and is a sampler with some very interesting swedish pop music and artists. One of the bands on this record is Zzzang Thumb where the sisters Irma and Idde Schulz started their careers. Both Zzzang songs are good and Pentagon Pop is one of the best tracks on the album.

Another cool band on this sampler is Kitchen & The Plastic Spoons, wich is a band that I really like. Filmen is not one of their best songs though.

One of the members of Kitchen & The Plastic Spoons, Iodine Jupiter, is also involved with the track Cowboy. A little pretaste of the direction he would take later, when he released Lilla flickan zombie in 1995.

My personal favorite from this record is the song 200 män from Helikoptern. This is a really catchy pop song with great vocals. The song 491 with Reporter is also very good.

Was really hard to find a youtube clip. Finally found this one :D

Annie Anner - Robotman

Annie Anner - Robotman
Format: 7"
Style: Italo disco, Hi-NRG
Label: Salut Production

http://www.discogs.com/Annie-Anner-Robotman/release/893532_

A  Robotman
B  Robotman (Instrumental version)

This is such a cool swedish single from 1986. Annie Anner was a group that was founded in 1984 by Anders Thorslund and Lasse Fjällström. They asked Anders sister Annelie to do the vocals and released a very successful single, Night in the city, in 1985.

Robotman was the third single from the band, and in my humble opinion, the best one. In total they released a handful of singles and one album. They never managed to repeat the success of the first single and the band had a very short career that ended in 1987.

The song Robotman is somewhere between italo and Hi-NRG with a voocoded robotic voice and lyrics about the love between woman and machine. What's not to love?

I found my copy at Tradera and payed 6,16 €.

Soft Metals - Soft metals
Format: 12" LP, ltd edition
Style: Synth pop
Label: Captured tracks

http://www.discogs.com/Soft-Metals-Soft-Metals/release/3011999

A1 Psychic driving
A2 Always
A3 Voices
A4 Celestial call
A5 The cold world melts
B1 Hold my breath
B2 Eyes closed
B3 Pain
B4 Do you remember
B5 In throes

A little while back I wrote about Soft Metals EP, The cold world melts. Now I have gotten my hands on a ltd edition of their selftitled debut album. This release comes with a silkscreened cover and a marbled green vinyl.

Musically it is a continuation of the EP and it's still alot of analogue synth sounds, dreamy vocals and a mix of dance beats and ambient atmosphere. The song The cold world melts is still a favorite, but I also love songs like Voices and Eyes closed. A really good album that I hope will reach alot of listeners.
