Magnus Shoval
Tjaer Stomar
Ranerop

The words barely exist in any language. :roll:

Did Stina ever write a song called 'Fotografie' ?

This on-line Discography has an interesting entry which suggests that in 2004, a group called Camping released an album entitled 'Surburban Shore' which included a translation of a song,now called 'Photograph' but originally called 'Fotografie',which was written by Stina.
Thats my reading of the entry anyway.

Look a bit more closely and I think they've put the info by the wrong track-track number 4 is 'Crime'-aha!
If you look in the credits above the tracklisting,it credits members of the band with writing tracks 1-3,5-10,so I think it's just a misprint,and they actually mean track 4.
As it happens,the album is in the iTunes online store so I went and had a listen to the free 30-second sample of each track.
'Fotografie' is a bossa nova,doesn't have the aura of Stina about the words,even in German.'Crime',musically nothing like the Stina version,nonetheless scans the words in the rhythm of Stina's 'Crime',and from what I can make out of the lyrics in the 30 second sample,each line seems to begin with 'Ich' (I) which would accord with Stina's chorus.My German is pretty non-existent,but I know what 'Ich' means. :mrgreen:

Discogs.com is a great site,I use it a lot.

Now that you've mentioned it, I suppose the credits are correct and that they've deliberately inserted them above the song in question.
I just assumed the credits would always be below the song.

Oh well,another phantom song disappears. :mrgreen:

Also rather telling is that in the eight years that i've been visiting eBay I have never seen a single copy for sale by Shoval or Stomer.

Ditto 'Sasha Erikson' :roll:
I've had Erikson and Shoval as 'My Favourite' searches on eBay since 2003,and haven't had a single notification except to remind me to renew my search every two years.
Well,if they are genuine artistes,I hope they're not trying to live off the royalties. :mrgreen:

I am almost 100 percent sure these releases do not exist.

Even though "Stina" said so, it does not mean anything. Could be a prank of some sort.

After all, mystery comes first.

I went through the Swedish Newspaper archive from 1969 to 2020 using the search term "Magnus Shoval", and similarly "Sasha Erikson".
Not a single result for either of them. I rest my case.
