I recently discovered two excellent CD samplers with Swedish pop and rock music, put together by the DJ team of the Munich-based Atomic Café. They are called "Atömström 1 & 2" (released in 2004 and 2005) and are excellent quality (featuring all the latest hypes from Sweden, including Moneybrother, Mando Diao, The Shout Out Louds, Weeping Willows, The Ark, The Hives, and so on...). But the reason I announce them here is that I believe that whoever put them together is a fan of Fucking Åmål and has left us a secret message
:
On the first sampler, Broder Daniels "Underground" was included, which is unusual as all the other songs are new stuff and "Underground" was, after all, first released in 1996.
But on the second sampler, at about the same spot, there is a song by Magnus Carlson (quite beautiful by the way) called... "Elin".
