Why is everyone I listen to at the moment called Jamie? It's absurd. Favourite Jamie: Lidell. Is this guy getting the recognition he deserves or have I just not been paying attention (more likely)? Favourite track: Burial's version of Wayfaring stranger is strangely addictive. Favourite album: James Blake. Funnily enough I don't listen to it that much. It's almost like a painting in a museum; I admire it but that doesn't mean I always enjoy it. I bet it sounds amazing live though.

In particular there’s Gisle Martens Meyer, a kind of… musical David Lynch? On this compilation he's behind Ugress, Shadow of the beat, Pixxel Tyger and Spokelsekladden. And these are just some of his projects. Highly recommended, as is Ralph Myerz’s album Ralphorama! Most of these are available on Spotify if you want to check them out further. Kjempeflott, as my Norwegian colleagues would say.

Quite a few tracks are from bands on Finnish record label Fonal records. If you want to hear more of TV-Resistori, Eleanoora Rosenholm and Risto, as well as loads of other new Finnish stuff, there is an electronic jukebox available on the Fonal website at http://www.fonal.com/news.php. Just be prepared for something far more experimental than the tracks here as I’ve chosen the catchy end of the Fonal spectrum. Other than that there is The Dø and a track from Karin Dreijer's solo project Fever Ray. For example.

If you're a normal, healthy person you may have wondered what Karin Dreijer was up to before the days of The Knife. The answer is noisy and occasionally brilliant indie band Honey is Cool, who had a great deal of critical if not commercial success in Sweden during the 90s. The other band that deserves two tracks here is Finnish band 22 Pistepirkko, who have been going since 1980 but show no sign of giving up their sometimes odd mix of pop, rock, blues and electronica (not necessarily all at the same time). Here is also a track from Mum's forthcoming album Go Smear the Poison Ivy, and it sounds very promising indeed (this track can be downloaded for free if you sign up to their mailing list at http://mum.trinitystreetdirect1.com/mailinglist). Full tracklisting: Frankenstein - 22 Pistepirkko The lion - Honey is Cool Kuvala - Rinneradio Anniemal - Annie Drums & boys - Honey is Cool Fomer hero - Heikki Electricity (is not what it used to be) - Differnet I knew - 22 Pistepirkko Syndir guðs (recycled by Mum) - Sigur Ros Dancing behind my eyes - Mum Stars - Cats on fire I'm Indian - Timo Raisanen Love seems to be on my mind - Suburban kids with biblical names My name is Luka - Hassan (Hassan, I should say, was a Swedish radio programme hosted, amongst others, by Henrik Schyffert who had a minor hit with Whale many years ago. It was rather funny.) Popround no
