Everyone’s heard of Hellsongs, yes? They’re the Swedish band that covers heavy metal songs with acoustic versions. Well now they have competition in a genre that I really thought they had all to themselves. The band Barbara Flor does acoustic covers of mostly electronic music. They have a free .zip of their new record, Ballader Om Laila Bagge, here. On it are covers of Familjen and Tough Alliance among others. So here’s a cover of Nina Hagen’s “99 Luftballons”, funny the song went from German to English and now to Swedish, can’t say that for many other songs.
{Update} I guess I fouled up the fact on this one. The somng was by Nena not Nina Hagen. Although Nena is from Hagen so I was pretty close. I guess this is still in German and not Swedish as well. sorry, still like it though at least that part is correct.
