MP3: The Rabbit Theory - Krokås

Björn Kleinhenz - Quietly happy and deep inside - Covers and remixes

Hopefully you already took the initiative to download all of the tracks from Björn Kleinhenz's excellent covers and remix countdown, but just in case, we've got all of the tracks re-posted here as a netrelease. Who cares that we're still a week away from the Swedish release of his new album "Quietly happy and deep inside"? Download these tracks and pretend you already know the record! Of course, I aim to stupefy, which is why I've posted the one track that's probably the most different from the original. Obviously, that Anders Teglund remix I posted is also distinctly not Björn, but you can still hear fragments of his voice. On the other hand, Switzerland's The Rabbit Theory take the song "Krokås" and totally mess it up, turning it into an emo post-punk workout. It's all jagged rhythms and hoarse vocals, yet you do get a huge finale to round this up at the end. I know, not a Scandinavian band, but rules are made to be broken. Sometimes. Download "Krokås" below and then head to my netlabel page to snag the rest.

Also, don't forget my interview with Björn's friend and fellow singer/songwriter Thomas Denver Jonsson discussing his contribution: [click here]

MP3: Anders Teglund - I whisper, he lives

Of all the folks participating in the Björn Kleinhenz cover countdown, Anders Teglund's contribution has got to be the most off the wall. The guy's already got a pretty impressive resumé - Cult of Luna, Convoj, columnist for Groove - might as well add in remixer, though I'm not sure that's what I'd call this piece of music. There are obvious Björn Kleinhenz vocal samples, but who knows where the other sound sources came from? I imagine this isn't too far off from what a Thrones version of the same would be like. Be sure to stick it out too, it gets better as it goes along. I like weird, weird is good.

Check out a musical slideshow that Anders Teglund's (Cult of Luna) father Sven Teglund made: http://ryssbalt.blogspot.com/2007/12/heartbeats-and-icebeat.html

Cult of Luna has posted a special version of the song "Marching to the heartbeats" on myspace, now retitled "Heartbeats (Elektroniskt Balanserad)" and performed by drummer Magnus Lindberg and keyboardist Anders Teglund. It will only be available for a limited time so get it now: http://www.myspace.com/cultofluna
