Atomic Swing  is  a  brand new Swedish
group  that  plays  pure  rock  music.
Their music has probably its roots  in
the  seventies,  but somehow  it feels
fresh  and  new anyway.  They use only
classic rock instruments; guitar, bass
and  drums  backed with  a piano or an
ð
organ.
  The group consists of  Niclas Frisk,
Henrik  Berglund,   Micke  Lohse   and
Petter Dahlstrom.  Niclas is  the lead
singer  and  has also  written all the
songs.
  I like  this record a lot,  although
all the songs  are played  in the same
style, and very much like eachother.


¤51. Panicburgh City  5:10           67%¤1
I really don't know  what to say about
this song.  It begins  real nice,  but
after a while the guitars dominate the
complete picture, and that is just not
my cup of tea. 

¤52. Lovething  4:21                 73%¤1
A  real nice  song that  quite clearly
follows up where Panicburgh City ended
although it is not at all  that guitar
dominated. It has a great atmosphere!

¤53. Too Late Too Exit  4:02         80%¤1

This is some kind of ballad. Real soft
vocals and guitars,  but still some of
that usual Atomic Swing sound. Actual-
ly quite beautiful in its own way.


¤54. Stone Me Into The Groove 4:02   85%¤1

This was the first song A.S. released,
and it was  quite a hit here in Sweden
and MTV played it quite a lot too.


¤55. The Weird Years  2:58           68%
     Of Gentle Chill¤1

It  has got a really  great beginning,
but  for  some strange reason  it gets
worse  and  worse.  What  a  shame  to
destroy such a nice song.

¤56. Smile  4:25                     90%¤1

This is  a great track!  The song  has
everything;  a nice melody  and  well-
balanced  instruments and enough crazy
vocals. It makes you smile!

¤57. In The Dust  3:36               92%¤1

The  best  song of the album!  Nothing
more  to  say  about   it.  Listen and
enjoy!

¤58. Carnival Stall  5:29            88%¤1

A very soft and cool song.  Perfect to
have in the background, anytime.  Very
emotional and very nice indeed!

¤59. Mosquitos On Mars?  2:49        86%¤1

Strange title,  but  the song  is very
good  and has a great atmosphere.  But
Ð
why did they make it so short?

¤510. From Venus To Everyday  5:51   78%¤1

Another strange title...  Quite normal
78%-song  I'd say.  It's  nice  and...
78%!
