“Life in the Future compiles 12 rare singles (and 2 album tracks) from the golden era of Swedish synth and post punk. From the DIY madness of Horforstaelse to minimal classics by Reason to Live and Friz Be, via the dark post punk of Cortex and Unter Den Linden, LITF only scrapes the surface yet paints a complete picture of the countrys fertile scene. 500 copies on white vinyl, with screened covers and insert.” Highly recommended!

“The songs that Gary Ramon edited during the Modern Art era (from approximately 1982 to 1989) was basically from cassettes; most of his music didnt take off outside of the English Underground scene in the 80s, probably due to the fact he only had limited copies of his albums, in some cases less that 50. Inspite of the circumstances his songs are still fondly remembered by many lovers of independent music and after many years others have also discovered his surprisingly fascinating work, (partly) thanks to the internet. Nowadays its much more difficult to enjoy his music in its original format and even more so to enjoy his completed work. For all these reasons we have decided to produce this selection which gathers up and represents part of the original work during the most experimental era of Gary Ramons music career. We constantly wonder why this compilation has not been thought of before now. LP presented in a heavy weight matte die-cut jacket, with printed inner sleeve. Edition: 320 copies.” -Domestica.
