Krister Linder has another project called Yeti. Check it out at:
http://www.superstudio.nation.se/vit/yeti/
The album "Holtkötter" is brilliant.

For more info about Society, go to:
www.ruc.com

"Riding her" is also featured on the compilation "Monolithic Minds", which
is a milestone of swedish drum'n'bass.

I also have to recommend "Monolithic Minds II". Not only because I am a
member of Juicehead which has one track on the album, but it is also a
great compilation including artists like Quant, Friend, Spinform, Eclectic
Bob, Grand Nip, Yoga, Baxter, Darchives and Perphane.
