Adolphson-Falk

Adolphson-Falk is a Swedish synthpop band, fronted by Tomas Adolphson (music, vocals) and Anders Falk (lyrics, music, vocals). Greg Fitzpatrick (keyboard) and Dagge Lundquist (mixing) was of great importance for the successful electronical sound.

Tomas Adolphson and Anders Falk met while completing their compulsory national service in 1968 and started their collaboration. In the 1970s they released a handful of singles and the album "Nattexpressen" and participated in Melodifestivalen 1979. The breakthrough was when the single "Blinkar blå" ("Flashing Blue") was played in the Swedish radio show "Eldorado" in 1981. The single was followd by the album "Med rymden i blodet" ("With space in my/the blood"). The single "Mer jul", with sound from "Kalle Anka och hans vänner önskar God Jul" ("From All of Us to All of You") played in the background, was a hit in 1984.

The theme of the lyrics on "Med rymden i blodet" was mostly radio engineering, astronomy and how man is related to cosmos. Over the years the theme has shifted from one of technology/natural science to a more colloquial one.
