There aren't many albums from the 1993, I'm still playing today on my iTunes. Actually, there's only one - "Supermarket" by Stakka Bo. I've had 3 or 4 copies of it in the last 15 years, only to get them all stolen at some private parties. Thanks to mp3, I have a copy now, that's relatively safe.
I realize, that there's at least one generation of listeners, who never heard about Stakka Bo, so let me (re)introduce him you:
Down the Drain
and also their greatest hit:
Here we Go
My favourite tracks from the "Supermarket" - "Natural", "Happyman" and "People (and the things they do)" weren't released as singles, so you'll have to listen to them on the album, if you can find one. Play these tracks on a hangover Sunday, and you'll feel the pain slowly dissapear...
Stakka Bo, a band formed by Johan Renck, released only 2 albums - "Supermarket" in 1993 and "Great Blondino" in 1995. In the end of the 90s, Johan Renck came back to music bussiness as a talented and successful video director. He's working today with such artists as Madonna, Robbie Williams, New Order, Beyonce, The Streets and others. And he's done some cool commercials.
He teamed up with the other swedish star director Jonas Åkerlund and formed RAF film company. There's also his first feature film "Downloading Nancy" comming out this year. If it's at least as good as his other productions, I'll have to see it.
