  • Limited Edition Double Vinyl in Gatefold
    Record/Vinyl + Digital Album

    Minimal Wave proudly presents a newly remastered vinyl edition of the cult Swedish cassette compilation Orgelvärk, subtitled “en stadig samling svensk synthmusik” – “a solid collection of Swedish synth music”. Orgelvärk is a compilation of Swedish synthpop, experimental and industrial music representative of the underground tape scene that thrived there in the 1980s. Many of the bands didn’t quite fit into one particular genre, and most remained unknown. They lived in small villages and were making what can be described as electronic folk music.
    Orgelvärk was originally compiled and released on cassette in 1986 by Tor Sigvardson, also known for his own musical project 18:e Oktober and cassette label Neuköln. The vinyl edition includes five previously unreleased tracks that were submitted to Tor for the original 1986 cassette release but due to space limitations, never made it on there. All the audio has been remastered from the original tapes especially for vinyl by Tor himself. Limited edition of 999 hand-numbered copies, pressed on 160-gram vinyl and presented in a matte gatefold jacket with a letter from Tor accompanied by further information on the bands.

about

Minimal Wave New York, New York

“Founded by Veronica Vasicka in 2005, Minimal Wave has done the invaluable work of historical recovery, unearthing an entire subgenre for a new generation. Emerging from late 70s-80s postpunk and created by a loose network of likeminded musicians in home studios scattered across the world, Minimal Wave found the impulses of the early avant-gardes reanimated with help of analog synths.” -Mark Owens ... more
