Plutonium Cathedral with VACUUM

THE PLUTONIUM CATHEDRAL, the premiere album of Vaccum, I never discovered it in 1997, but probably the better now. Vacuum's scientific persona clings extremely well to the space between what's superficial and what's really deep.


Vacuum was a swedish trio who took over where Army of Lovers ended in the mid 90's. Bard had flown into the more cinematically timeless nest of Wollbeck and Lindblom, where also a woman Schipjenko could be found. Their way of blending synth pop with orchestral music gives some fantastically strange harmonies.
