Staff pick of the week...
This week...Jared picks it!

bjorn olsson cover

Artist: Björn Olsson
Title: S/T (The Crab)
Price: $13.50 CD buy

As one of the top 5 Soundtrack Of Our Lives fans in these United States (go ahead, dispute it...), I always look forward to ANY release by current/former TSOOL members. I was never a big fan of instrumental music outside of Goblin's Dario Argento soundtracks, but Björn has managed to add himself to my shortlist of acceptable instrumentals. 2 parts lo-fi rock god mixed with 1 part Morricone soundtrack (complete with whistling!)

All of the tracks on this CD remain untitled (email me if you have a tracklisting), but for the TSOOL fans out there there are 3 tracks that will definitely stand out. They are instrumental versions of 3 Soundtrack tracks (Four Ages Part 1, Mantra Slider and From Gravity To Gold). Raw and lo-fi, these tracks could definitely pass as 1995 TSOOL demos. Soundtrack of Our Lives karaoke, anyone?
