Originally released on CD in 1998. Like a message in a bottle, carried round by the ocean streams for decades, Henrik Rylander's album Från En Obestämd Plats I Rummet has floated around in the space of Swedish underground music. Höga Nord Rekords pulls the cork and unfolds the message that is a piece of music that was ahead of its time, sounding "now" 20 years after its first release in the late nineties. This album is a well-kept secret even for the most initiated music lovers in Sweden. The music, influenced by Flying Saucer Attack and other reverb/distortion drenched acts from the early nineties, Harmonia, and some of Kraftwerk's earlier works and minimalism still sounds fresh. Rylander, a member of legendary acts such as Union Carbide Productions and The Skull Defekts, has been pushing the envelope for electronic music, varying between ambient and noise. Rylander's solo works could be described as sophisticated music and Från En Obestämd Plats I Rummet combines the sophisticated sides with his band-oriented works that hold another kind of tension. This record is the first release on the sub-label Höga Nord Arkiv on which releases from the past, that hasn't got as much attention as they deserve, get re-released in an appropriate context.
