Ratata - Ögon Av Is 7" 1982

A highly underrated single. Ratata started out as a very charming synthpopband in the early eighties, later to evolve into a boring slab of mainstream music. but the two first singles is a real treat, here is their second and best work ever. ögon av is (eyes of ice) is a great song with some great guitarwork possibly falling into the minimal synth genre. the b-side however features great vocoder voice and silly, silly lyrics about a young man who thinks hes seen all the world has to offer. ignoring this gives you a fantastic song which should dwarf their later work and give them somewhat of a cult status. it does help that the single is produced by johan vävare.
