VARIOUS ARTISTS – 10 års kultur i partiets tjänst (Kulturföreningen Spartacus, MC, 1981)

 Swedish vocals, English vocals, other languages, instrumental
International relevance: *

Is this an endurance test, or what? A double cassette-only release named ”Ten years of culture at the service of the party”, with the party in question being KPML(r), the far-lefties best known on this blog for inhouse propaganda band Knutna Nävar. Needless to say, Knutna Nävar appear here with three tracks, including the otherwise unavailable ”Mortelslagen ekar i bambubyn” which is a rather suggestive and hypnotic track. Dan Berglund, Maria Hörnelius and Röda Ropet are other wellknown names. Also Viveka Seldahl and Knutna Nävar affiliate Sven Wollter; both later launched successful acting careers. And then there's the expected slew of marchings bands, Stalinist choirs, ideologically constipated singer/songwriters, and various other fistwavers. The few listenable tracks would have made a half-decent EP, but at almost 90 minutes, this is a study in nausea.
