Vacuum

Vacuum is a Swedish synth-pop group formed in the mid-1990s, associated in reviews with Alexander Bard, Anders Wollbeck, Marina Schiptijenko and Mattias/Matthias Lindblom. Their best-known releases include The Plutonium Cathedral and Seance at the Chaebol.

Reviews state the group was formed in 1996 and released The Plutonium Cathedral (praised as a pop masterpiece) and a second album Seance at the Chaebol. Reviews name Alexander Bard, Anders Wollbeck, Marina Schiptijenko and Mattias/Matthias Lindblom; they note the project was short-lived and that Anders Wollbeck and Mattias/Matthias Lindblom later focused on producing, while Alexander Bard and Marina Schiptijenko moved on to Bodies Without Organs (BWO) activity.

Reviews praise Vacuum's The Plutonium Cathedral as a grand, symphonic synth-pop highlight. Seance at the Chaebol is described as a solid, radio-friendly second album with notable singles. Sflanellette is presented as an odd, live-styled archival document.
