For the last five weeks our TV viewing has included this wonderful Swedish production with the umbrella name Crimes of Passion, a six-part 90 min episode series of murder(s) within a small community (a la Agatha Christie) featuring three regular characters: Puck, Eje and Christer.

All three: Tuva Novotny, Linus Wahlgren and Ola Rapace play their parts very well and have great supporting casts (for as long as such characters survive! smile) and the 1950s' settings are well portrayed (though we do question whether smoking was quite that prevalent). The locations are gorgeous - we do so want to visit - and the music generally good to wonderful, including a superb, albeit brief, title song performed by Isabella Lundgren*.

If there's any justice the producers of Bond24 had better be looking in her direction ...

And the music underscore and sources - a mixture of styles including modern synths, as conceived and produced by frid & frid - is worth a release. I've not heard of any of these music artists prior to this TV series but presumably each/all have some public exposure in their homeland(s).

* I see there is one album by this lovely vocalist on Amazon ... it carries a high price tag ... and another on which she features on two or three songs with which I'm tempted.

Good samples to be found here: http://www.fridandfrid.com/

So: any chance of a release?

Bump:

Well, the series is over ... some of the most entertaining TV for quite a while ... and if the score becomes available ...

If you get the chance to see this series ... DO!

Oh, and the music is very good, too.
