‘Ebbot Lundberg (vocals), Patrik Caganis(Guitar) and Bjorn Olsson(guitar) were founders of the wildly exciting Swedish band UnionCarbide Productions in 1986, which recorded several albums that mixedCaptain Beefheart and punk (think Stooges) to wonderful effect in thelate ’80s. Eventually Ian Person joined Union Carbide Productions onguitar in replacement for Björn Olson.They released their masterpiece”From Influence To Ignorance” which contains the classic songs “GoldenAge” and “Be Myself again”.Union Carbide Productions imploded after recording  their fourth andfinal album “Swing” with Steve Albini in 1992 (right before Nirvana did”In Utero”), After years of friction and disappointment of theircollaboration with Albini, the band members finally went in their owndirections. Lundberg, Olsson, and Person reunited in 1995 and startedthe band Soundtrack of Our Lives, which mines the ’60s psych vein inunique, unpredictable, and interesting ways. Never sounding like aretro act, Soundtrack of Our Lives is a thoroughly modern band that isactually extending ’60s themes and ideas in ways that acts from thattime never imagined. The Homo Habilis Blues EP was released in 1996,followed by the full-length Welcome to the Infant Freebase that sameyear, after which Olsson left the touring aspect of the band to theother members (he remained a part of the band in the studio, whilemaintaining his own solo career). Work on a second album commenced in1998, and the band released Extended Revelation for the PsychicWeaklings of Western Civilization late that year. The new millenniumfound the Soundtrack of Our Lives with an American contract throughUniversal’s Republic subsidiary, which released 2001′s Behind the Musicand 2005′s Origin, Vol. 1′. ~ Stanton Swihart, All Music Guide
