#1 Hits from Another Planet has a new Carpark North track: https://alienhits.blogspot.com/2008/09/carpark-north-bring-lights-if-you-take.html
Definitely agree with them being an inconsistent singles act, though I think I'd be hard-pressed to find enough quality songs I like to fill an album.
24:hours has a track from the new Boeoes Kaelstigen 12": https://2-4-hours.blogspot.com/2008/09/when-i-first-heard-woolfy-vs.html

MP3: Sator Codex - Leech
This one's not a vinyl rip, though I do have the original LP. "Leech" exemplifies where early industrial rattle meets postpunk nerves, filtered through the lens of Radium 226.05 and the early/mid- 80s Göteborg scene. It relishes in the sound of decay and anguish, celebrating the burning flesh of rotting corpses and the sucking of blood and other such niceties, however, despite the backing screams, I'd call this is a pop song through and through. It's certainly catchy no matter what you might think of the subject matter and yes, quite danceable as well. I can assure you that if I had a DJ night somewhere, this would be a standby. At the very least, set this one aside for the coming Halloween season.
