A guide to Swedish tape music around 1970, put together by Bengt Emil Johnson, poet, composer and one of the founders of text-sound composition. The pieces come mostly from EMS in Stockholm: Johnson's own Through the Mirror of Thirst, Lars-Gunnar Bodin's Place of Plays and Dedicated to You II, Jan W. Morthenson's Ultra, Sten Hanson's L'inferno de Strindberg, Leo Nilson's Viarp I and Arne Mellnäs's Eufoni.
Voice, electronics and noise meet with a freedom that still sounds fresh, close in spirit to the experiments of Fylkingen. A later pressing of the Caprice record, in a gatefold sleeve with an attached booklet.
