Muchos de los nombres incluidos en esta recopilación tienen obras fascinantes además, aunque la figura principal de este grupo de artistas sería el compositor Ralph Lundsten:

"Ralph Lundsten is one of the pioneers of international electronic music with his own studio Andromeda. Recordings are done with his own home-built electronic instruments, some built in cooperation with the Finnish physicist Erkki Kurenniemi. Ralph Lundsten began making music by cutting tapes to his tape recorder and in that way he got sounds that no traditional instruments could give. In 1959, he built his studio Andromeda inside his wooden castle Frankenburg (originally built in 1878) in Boo, and he has kept it state of the art since. "

Si se quiere profundizar más en el sonido de estos pioneros suecos, hay una recopilación que data de 1988 bajo el nombre "Electro-Acoustic Music from Sweden" , también muy recomendable.
