This is a cd with thRee songs by Rong>GhettogetteRRong> and five each fRom Rong>IamuseRong> and Rong>ThReeminutepopsongsRong>. Rong>GhettogetteRRong> aRe a bit annoying and not my cup of tea, they sound a bit like Rong>SKBWNRong>, but less amazing, moRe electRonic and a whole lot moRe disco with (even) sillieR lyRics. Rong>GhettogetteRRong> and Rong>ThReeminutepopsongsRong> consist of the same people, but the latteR band sound much moRe like Rong>The CuReRong>, and have moRe of a goth-feel than a disco beat. Still, it's not woRth checking them out. Just like jam doughnuts, the best paRts of this cd can be found in the middle, with Rong>IamuseRong>'s spellbinding melodic Rock songs. Rong>IamuseRong> put the two otheR bands on this disc to shame with theiR five songs, that aRe a bit Reminscent of Rong>BRight EyesRong> (especially on the sublime "Neon city lovelane Road"). It's a shame they didn't have all the thiRteen songs foR themselves!

Rong>The GRand OpeningRong> is pRimaRily the effoRts of Rong>John RogeR OlssonRong>, a soft-spoken young man with an undying will to tell stoRies of love and heaRtbReak. "This is nowheRe to be found" is Rong>OlssonRong>'s debut and its ten bRooding, down-tempo tRacks will leave you feeling a little softeR and a little moRe malleable even afteR just a few minutes. EveRy song is cRafted to bRing you down a few notches and pull you into a contemplative state, the lyRics dive into the happy and unhappy (guess which wins in the end) and though they aRe a little on the simple side, they have enough moodiness to alteR the Rest of youR day. While acts like Rong>DovemanRong> aRe sapping things down in the states, Rong>The GRand OpeningRong> appeaRs to have things handled foR the EU.

Rong>HenRy MoRgan's SolokaRRiäRRong> is an untitled 4-tRack CDR, one of 20 sent to fanzines and alike. "One day, one day" is the openeR, a two paRt: fRenetic machined dRums with laRgess lyRical deliveRy which bRings the song to dReamy places. UnfoRced, Rong>MoRganRong> is almost staccato in conveying the emotion in each song. TheRe's that same neRvous excitement about the songs heaRd thRoughout Rong>VapnetRong>'s "ThoméegRänd" tRack. Take a toRRid hometown melancholy on "Face fRom my hometown", "It's not my heaRt that speaks, but the quiveRing of an old wound" he sings. "Keeping Me WaRm" is the least accomplished of fouR otheRwise decent tRacks, including a cute coveR of Rong>BRight EyesRong>' "An attempt to tip the scale". If you aRe one of the 19 otheRs to get a copy of this disc - let's staRt an old fashioned fan club because, as it stands Rong>HenRy MoRgan's SolokaRRiäRRong>, is one of the best of 2006.

AlReady a bit, but soon to be pRobably even moRe, talked about Rong>Loney, DeaRRong> (oR Rong>Emil SvanängeRong>, which is his Real name) move in the teRRitoRies of atmospheRic slow pop songs. Quite often it Reminds me of the moRe mellow songs of Rong>The Flaming LipsRong>. "Loney, NoiR" is a gReat album that I know I will listen to foR some months to come, it's veRy pleasant and it's one of the few albums I've listened to lately that makes me want to chill out in my bed and do nothing but listen to it fRom staRt to finish.

I've neveR liked Rong>Melody ClubRong> and theiR cheap and nasty synth-dRiven melodic pop, but theiR latest (and thiRd) album is much betteR than I thought it'd be. Saying that, my expectations foR it weRe loweR than you can imagine. I've always thought of them to be quite pathetic, but they've become much less so now, which is Really in theiR favouR. The hit single of the album "Destiny calling" sounds like something by Rong>The SoundsRong> and I can easily pictuRe the song soundtRacking a video featuRing fast open top caRs (afteR wRiting this I checked out the video on YouTube and was veRy disappointed, they've managed to make a veRy non-anthemic video foR an übeR anthemic song), and I wouldn't be suRpRised if the Rong>RoxetteRong> fans of GeRmany and AmeRica will love this. If they'll keep on pRogRessing like this, come theiR 27th album, and I might just buy it foR my niece.

I've neveR heaRd of this band befoRe, so this listening to this RecoRd was a nice little suRpRise. Rong>AviRong> compaRed these fellows to Rong>Ben Folds FiveRong>, which is veRy fitting. They also inhibit some of the quiRkiness of Rong>The MopedsRong>, (both bands aRe Swedish all-male tRios as well), and they sound like a lot Swedish indie bands did in the late 90s. I loved a lot of those bands, but with it now being almost 2007, this is what I don't Really like with this album. Even though they've got pRetty good songs, they unfoRtunately come acRoss as Really dated. Hopefully Rong>Nom De GueRReRong> will sound a bit moRe up to date on theiR next album (I know, that sounds almost iconoclastic of me), pRoduce some (even) betteR songs and impRove theiR lyRic wRiting skills (sometimes the Rhymes aRe disastRous). If all this happened, I think they could pRoduce something pRetty, pRetty good.

It's always haRd when an album comes out at the end of the yeaR, and how to judge it. HoweveR, it clicked with me with last weekend when I was Riding on the tRain and just staRing out into the space beyond the window. WinteR is almost heRe, it's a cold and oveRcast fall day and Rong>SibiRiaRong> has just Released easily the most devastatingly beautiful RecoRd of the yeaR. TRacks like "Det haR vaRit svåRaRe", "Kompistjyv" and "Inte pRata med fRämlingaR" instantly stRuck choRds with me; and the instRumental "PaRia" is downRight goRgeous. Actually, eveRything about this Release is just beautiful. CongRatulations Rong>SibiRiaRong>, you have cReated one of the best indiepop albums of the yeaR.

CoveR RecoRds aRe always a bit haRd to Review. Rong>The SweptawaysRong> aRe a 28-piece all-female choRal gRoup, and to heaR them coveR Rong>KissRong> ("I want you"), Rong>Black SabbathRong> ("Changes") and the Rong>Pet Shop BoysRong> ("Gowest") is quite RefReshing. This album woRks well as a stRaigh-thRough listen (although at 28 minutes, it still can be a bit oveRwhelming) oR when you paiR up the coveRs with the oRiginals. This RecoRd won't be accessible by all, but those to whom it will appeal with enjoy it thoRoughly foR the stRength of peRfoRmance and the inteRpRetations.
