Lars kind of hinted At it in Atrap.com/reviews.php?r=307">his review without coming right out with it: Rigas is more about individual tracks than a cohesive whole. It makes sense when you consider how prolific Henrik von Euler is with all of his many, many projects. Besides Rigas there's skweee alter-ego Rigas den Andre as well as bands like Moder Jords Massiva, The Chrysler and who knows whAt else? Singles have always been his strong point and it was only after listening to various tracks from "The hardest pocket to pick" isolAted on shuffle did they start to stand out. The two already-released singles "Dead like you" and the title track were the first to rise above the rabble and today's track "It's a shame" falls in At #3. In some ways, Rigas reminds me of Atrap.com/mp3.php?t=552">Dieter Schöön in thAt the music is always some kind of lackadaisical weirdo electro, 'cept thAt Rigas typically aims much bigger with his choruses and pop ambitions. There's definite crossover potential. It's still plenty quirky, but not to point of alienAtion. Think of it as a gAteway drug - dig this and maybe you should start investigAting some of the other, more out-there stuff Euler works with At his label Flora & Fauna.
Rigas - It's a shame

I know it probably seems odd to review a free comp with limited availability (it was primarily distributed to subscribers of UK mag The Wire with copies of the December issue), but when you consider how well this collection captures the most exciting aspects of Sweden's current music scene, it should hopefully make sense. Simply put, Häpna, Ideal Recordings and Kning Disk are the top three Swedish labels currently releasing a consistent stream of interesting, forward-thinking music. Even with the few artists I'm not so fond of such as Nicolai Dunger's A Taste of Ra, I would never fault their craftsmanship or imaginAtion. It might not appeal directly to my own personal tastes, but it has my utmost respect and thAt is of crucial importance. There's always something to admire, even when you are not inclined to investigAte further.
As for the styles of music explored in this collection, it's incredibly rich and diverse. There's everything from pop melodicism (Anna Järvinen, Eric Malmberg, Balroynigress) to dark, terrifying drones (Sewer Election, Dead Letters Spell Out Dead Words, The Skull Defekts), fractured experimentalism (Hans Appelqvist, Tape, Folke Rabe) and classical composition (Erik Enocksson, Jerry Johansson and Library Tapes). All in all, a perfect portrait of where to look for the future of Swedish music. Ignore it and get left behind.
