So i finally got those CD-R copies of both his albums. They are very nice indeed! (i think it was tolstoyed on this board who was very much into his music).
Currently i'm listening to Hei, but i think i slighty prefer Melke. It all sounds very organic and lo-fi. Unlike most other electronic music i've heard. And i like it alot.
However i was wondering if anyone here who speaks norwegian could shed some light on the song titles?! I'm especially curious about the last one, since it's a couple of sentences long! Just wondering what it could mean :-)
1. politiska dikten återvänder 2. forskjellige gode ting 3. den fula skogen bakom köket 4. torture happiness 5. jag finns inte mer 6. juli 7. techningar och folk 8. det vigsenkallelige veddet som er gjort og makten til å tilgi til å tilgi
9. giving and taking book 10. det skulle vara fint att se dig, tänkte jag 11. hänger långsammt i luften 12. - 13. hip hop is a way of life 14. han brydde sig inte om att stiga upp, hela dagen lät han nya bilder och funderingar komma och gå som de ville, sov lite ibland och vaknade igen och visste inte alls vem han var. det var en fridfull och mycket spännande dag
Obviously i already understand the english ones...

Some of it seems to be plain good ol' Swedish.
14. He didn't bother to get up, he let new images and thought come and go all day long, slept a little sometimes and woke up again and didn't know who he was. It was a peaceful and very exciting day
1. the political poem returns 3. the ugly forest behind the kitchen 5. I don't exist anymore 7. sketches and people 10. it would be nice to see you, I thought 11. Hanging slowly in the air 13 Hip hop är ett levnadssätt :)
Good night.

i gave up trying to figure out how those scandinavian languages all work :-p Some people tell me they are almost similar, and everyone from denmark, norway, sweden and finland can understand each other... but other people have told me the languages are very different and can't be compared at all.
Anyway THANKS! Those translations are great, i really like them... some of those titles are very typical for Kim. Always more interested in the small details than the big picture it seems. (in his "book without function" he wrote: In Zen they say: if something is boring after two minutes, try it for four. If still boring, try it for eight. Sixteen. Thirty-two. And so on. Eventually one discovers that it is not boring at all but very interesting.)
I feel some of the short songs on Hei are a bit dull tolstoyed. Makes the album feel a little "scattered", though some of the individual tracks are really beautiful! Melke works better as an album (which is odd, considering it's just a collection of rare tracks). But maybe it still needs to grow on me. I used to feel the same way about MHTRTC and druqks :-)

Swedes, Danes and Norwegians usually understand each other apart from some extreme dialects. Finnish is nothing like these other languages, not even remote. In Finland you get along with Swedish out on the southern coast. Swedish is their 2nd official language. Most Finns understand a few words of Swedish.
