Sov gott Rose-Marie (Sleep tight, Rose-Marie) is the 1968 debut album of International Harvester, the second incarnation of the Stockholm-based band Pärson Sound. Pärson Sound's drone-based experimental rock sound, inspired by The Velvet Underground, Terry Riley and the Rolling Stones, was filtered through a more folky, nationally inspired sound, in hopes to "create a more temporary kind of rhythmic music that could play the same role as traditional folk music."

The push towards a national, anti-imperialist sound came with the pseudo-dystopian mindset that prevailed in the Sweden of the 1960s, something that stood in dire contrast to the 'peace and love' ethos of hippy idealism. In the mid-60s, large parts of the inner city of Stockholm, the site of many houses and homes, were bulldozed to pave way for the new architectural wave of the future: towering skyscrapers, "glass and concrete".,, - Wikipedia

Lidingö Airport / Canada Lumberyard by Hansson & Karlsson, 7" single released on GP in Sweden.

Hansson & Karlsson was a Swedish duo consisting of Bo Hansson (organ) and Janne Carlsson (drums). The name Carlsson being written with a K instead of a C in the name of the band was initially just a mis-print in an early poster (both spellings being common in Swedish).

The band was active in the last few years of the 1960s and played instrumental jazz fusion, largely based on improvisation and are considered one of the pioneers of progressive rock. Hansson and Carlsson played a few times with Jimi Hendrix in Stockholm, and Hendrix recorded the Hansson & Karlsson piece "Tax Free". - Wikipedia

Delayed by Älgarnas Trädgård, released in 2001 on Silence but recorded in 1973-74.

Älgarnas Trädgård were a psychedelic and progressive rock band from Sweden which is found on the Nurse With Wound list.

...what a fantastic offering...it slowly extends into meta-improvisations with distant guitars, heavily effected organs, swirling strings, plenty of space, reaching an early peak-build amidst the detritus floating through the 12-minute "Interstellar Cruise." Later, an Eastern-themed campfire freakout (sitars, tablas, Yod-chant) breaks out, then a bit of the mellow reverbed flute, later still a long vocal loop fade out over some well placed drones. One could say this record has a bit of everything. One would be correct. Astonishing that it has lain dormant in the vaults for so long. - Forced Exposure.

Att arbetarklassen är reaktionär är Carin Lundströms grundtes i en artikel i Arbetaren. Jag håller inte med om det. Jag växte upp som barn till en sjöman, en maskinist och en mamma som var hemmafru. Min biologiska farfar var också sjöman, fast kock. Ibland arbetade han på sockerbruket. Han dog när pappa var liten.
