Foreign albums
Pig: Wrecked
Music that stretches far beyond genres. Outstanding.
Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds: The Boatman's Call
Stunningly beautiful.
KMFDM: KMFDM
Their best album so far.
Primal Scream: Vanishing Point
A thrilling fusion of European angst and Jamaican dub.
David Bowie: Earthling
Bowie sounds more vital than for many, many years.

Foreign songs
Pig: No One Gets Out of Her Alive
Absolutely mad.
Nine Inch Nails: The Perfect Drug
Not as good as anything on "The Downward Spiral", but still a great song.
Janet Jackson feat. Q-Tip & Joni Mitchell: Got 'Til It's Gone
True soul.

Foreign live artist
Einstürzende Neubauten
The performance at the Zillo Festival was the best live show I've ever seen.

Foreign newcomer
Atari Teenage Riot
German breakbeat punk rock. They've actually made one album before, but this was the year they broke through.

Foreign artist
Raymond Watts
A tragically ignored genius.

Swedish albums
Peace, Love & Pitbulls: 3
Fabulous rock enhanced with heavy electronics.
Yvonne: Getting Out, Getting Anywhere
A more rocky effort than the debut.
The Northern Territories: Orange Moon
Stands out from bores like Kiethevez and Saft.
Tiamat: A Deeper Kind of Slumber
The best goth I've heard for ages.
The Wannadies: Bagsy Me
Pop music seldom gets better than this.

Swedish songs
Wepping Willows: Broken Promise Land
Beautiful depression.
Souls: Cello (Where You Were)
Why did they have to quit?
Koop: Glömd
Interesting.

Swedish live artist
Peace, Love & Pitbulls
Always great, but I missed the drum machines.

Swedish newcomer
Koop
Jazzy, warm electronics.

Swedish artist
Tim "SKOLD" Sköld
A great part of the KMFDM live show.
