18:e Oktober
18:e Oktober
18:e Oktober from Motala, Sweden was mainly a one man band playing experimental yet melodic electronic music between 1984 and 1988. Although there were some brief collaborations 18:e Oktober was mainly a one man band. The one man being Tor.S (sic!). During these years a handful of cassettes were released, some gigs took place and 18:e Oktober also contributed to a couple of compilation cassettes at the time. In 1988 the project went into sleep mode and Tor.S started up two new electronic acts. Short lived space nursery crazies Rymdkapsel Crash, and Lorelei de Lux a more long lasting electronic pop project with female vocals. Currently what was once 18:e oktober is now one half of the instrumental electro-duo The Quiet Men focusing on improvised concerts in modern old skol style.
In 1994 the cassette En Sammanfattning (a summary) was released gathering new mixes of the most popular songs from the original cassettes. Released in an extremely small quantity it’s a hard to get item these days.
