2018 repress. Issued privately by Stockholm’s "Elektron Musik Studion” (EMS) between 1966 & 1973, the four “Dokumentation” LPs were something of a seasonal report card of the studio’s charter output, “internally” issuing key early works. Composers Ralph Lundsten & Leo Nilsen - whose side-length “Aloha Arita” & “Kalejdoskop” have only been issued in severely excerpted form in the interim, - Karl-Birger Blomdahl, Bengt Emil Johnson, Jan W. Morthenson, Arne Mellnäs, Lars-Gunnar Bodin, and Sven-Erik Bäck all completed their first electro-acoustic pieces in the studio between 1965 & 1973 - all of which are represented here in their embryonic state.

While some of this material has shown up in revised or reworked form over the years via a stream of compilations & overviews, it’s extremely interesting to see & hear it all in its original iteration, in a manner devoid of rampant historical revisionism & favoritism in a stark, appealing manner.

Note that, for sake of this fitting neatly onto two discs instead of three, the running order has been modified. Disc one contains:

Ralph Lundsten och Leo Nilsson; Aloha Arita (14:33)
Ralph Lundsten och Leo Nilsson; Kalejdoskop (18:30)

Karl-Birger Blomdahl; Altisonans (19:10)
Bengt Emil Johnson; 1/1967 (19:16)
Arne Mellnäs; Conglomerat (8:04)

Disc two contains:

Jan W Morthenson; Epsilon Eridani (16:55)
Lars-Gunnar Bodin; Winter-events (15:31)
Sven-Erik Bäck; In Principio (14:15)
Bengt Emil Johnson; 3/1970 (Bland) III (8:13)
Lars-Gunnar Bodin; Toccata (15:33)
Lars-Gunnar Bodin; Traces I (7:00)
