Music & Lyrics: Agebjörn/Gunnarsson/Svanängen
from the album "Notes" out on Feb 10th 2015

In a way I was nervous
In a way I was not
With no time to prepare I just hoped 
for the best and forgot 

how the fear can possess me
maybe hold back the best me
So afraid to be hoping too much
So afraid to be touched

And we were the leftovers
No one wanted to hold us
No
It seems almost too perfect now
and I wasn't prepared for love

I was talking too much, dear
I was hiding my own fear
So afraid to feel happy in vain
and ashamed

Then we started to wonder
and I lied to feel stronger
I was happy it was something new
It was you

And we were the leftovers
No one wanted to hold us
No
It seems almost too perfect now
and I wasn't prepared for love
Am I fearing the perfect now?
Is it just that it's strange to love?

And we were the leftovers
No one wanted to hold us
No
You seem almost too perfect now
and I wasn't prepared for love

You seem almost too perfect now
Why is it strange to love

"Aching nocturnal ballad" AllMusic 
"Like Erlend Øye on Kompakt" DJ Mag
"Stellar, ambient sounding electronic pop remix from Mikael Ögren" Discobelle

The Leftovers feat. Loney Dear (Mikael Ögren Remix)

Original track by The Age of Love (1990), remixed by Jam & Spoon (1992), re-edited by Johan Agebjörn & Mikael Ögren in 2016. Artwork by Tommy '86. All proceeds from this re-edit going to UNHCR. Make techno not war.

"This just took Panorama Bar apart. Thank you!" Andreas Baumecker (Berghain / Ostgut Ton)

"The original was an acid trance classic that’s spawned any number of remixes. But the focus on trance has always left me a bit ambivalent about it. The remix drops the tranciness and is the better for it. Here, The Age Of Love – The Age Of Love (Jam & Spoon Remix – Johan Agebjörn & Mikael Ögren Re-edit) goes for something much more strongly acidic in its approach, with more than a dash of driving synth work. It all changes half way through into something more euphoric and hand waving, as the focus switches to the vocal. Less a re-edit and more a complete rework."

Johan Agebjörn & Mikael Ögren - As I Passed The Vyartsilya Border Crossing

Taken from "Music With Less Electricity", out now
http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/music-with-less-electricity/id500755341
http://agebjorn.bandcamp.com/album/music-with-less-electricity
http://open.spotify.com/album/3KlkBI5P0X8rSx8GFxbMVf

In 2003 I started to work on compositions influenced by Satie, Debussy, Swedish folk music, ambient and jazz. The compositions were not intended for any special purpose, but in 2004, my girlfriend asked me to record the songs as a Christmas gift for her. So I did, during the winters of 2004 and 2005, in a 19th century cottage in the Swedish countryside, my home at the time. In 2006, I burned and sold 50 CDRs with the music. Since then I have been creating and releasing electronic music, sometimes taking influences from these piano songs. From time to time, people have asked about how to get hold of this album, and encouraged me to make it available. So I finally decided to re-release the album as a download, again via my own label, Husmus Media. The label name Husmus Media was chosen since for a long time, the mice in the cottage had been the only living beings listening to the music (”husmus” is Swedish for housemouse).

Vocoder lyrics:
Waving goodbye, for tonight and forever
For the days and the nights that will come
Leaving the sounds, it's alive and eternal
For the days and the nights that will come
And all the tones will sway in the universe
Forever all the waves, they vibrate, they're alive
And all the tones will sway in the universe
Forever all the waves, they vibrate, they're alive
Forever
Forever
Forever...

Johan Agebjörn & Mikael Ögren - A Tribute To Florian Schneider

Written by Neil Tennant/Chris Lowe. Performed by Pet Shop Boys, original version appearing on the album "Relentless" (1993). Re-edited by Johan Agebjörn & Mikael Ögren in 2020.

"Johan and Mikael’s re-edit is taking all that’s good in the original and turning it all up to 11. It’s 30 secs longer for extra drama. The disco is pushed further back to let the natural dramatic house to the fore, It seems to have absorbed the essence of peak time old school house and sculpted it in the PSB blender. Peaks shoot off in all directions. Dig out the glitterball for tonight, you dance." Acid Ted

Lyrics:
What do you give
when the man who has everything
needs such a lot?
Look how he lives
How there's only one thing
he hasn't got:
Love

Pet Shop Boys - The Man Who Has Everything (Johan Agebjörn & Mikael Ögren Re-edit)

Musician from Lund, Sweden, specializing in disco and ambient.
