These are the records that I know of, so the list may be incomplete= : (The Dot EP is not included) =B0 Tupilaq - "Tupilaq" (Audio Pollution, ALP001) (CD/2 LP) (1996) =B0 Tupilaq - ? (12") (1996) =B0 Yeti -"Holtk=F6tter" (Superstudio)( CD) (1996) =B0 Yeti - "Scooter" (Superstudio) (CDs) (1996) =B0 Yeti - "Avalanche" (Superstudio) (CDs) (1996) =B0 Yeti - "Bethelflur" (Superstudio) (CDs) (1996) =B0 Jeti - "Illuminum, the lighstalker ep" (12") (Beverage) (1996) =B0 V/A - "Monolithic minds" (Mono 01) (CD) (1997) =B0 Society - "Riding her/Entering it" (Recordings Under Construction (RUC), (RUCED 04)(12") (1997) Some short reviews: Tupilaq - "Tupilaq" Tupilaq's debut from 1996 on the Swedish label Audio Pollution label (sublab= el to Hybrid/Planet Rhythm Records with a more downtempo/experimental touch). Probably very hard to find but well worth looking for. Actually this is a brilliant record. Just as the iceberg pictured on the sleeve this is cold and sparse northern electronica. The music on this record is much better than the material Tupil= aq released on Dot. So if you liked "Volver EP" you'll love this... Yeti - "Holtk=F6tter" Krister Linder has released two albums with experimental electronica (or whatever you prefer to call it) and this is the other one. Not as good as the Tupilaq album, but clearly a little shimmering musical pearl. V/A - "Monolithic Minds" A compilation from the swedish drum'n'bass-label Monolithic where Krister Linder's drum'n'bass-smelling act Society is featured with the track "Riding her". This track is also available on the 12" from RUC, but since that record is much more hard to get your hands on this might be an easier alternative. The compilation also includes tracks from truly innovative drum'n'bass-acts as Grand Nip and Mighty Kohn. Society - "Riding her/Entering it" This sounds as Tupilaq but with drum'n'bass flavoured rhythms, and is the best material that Krister Linder have released so far (according to me). ------ Erik M=F6ller a.k.a.
