This is about a music film that an obscure company named LLLfilm,
made in 1981-82.
The music in the film is pure, clean, dirty, ragged live recordings by
Mercedes Prata from 1981.
The title of the film is Hemmen får impulser, which is also the name
of Mercedes Prata´s most well-known hut song.
The film was made in the now obsolete Polavision format,
i.e. a Polaroid movie format.
The people who made the film are Anders Ljungman and Jörgen Lund,
nowadays electronic mudworkers in ZëBB Academy, and Ulf Lundkvist
a well-known comic stripper in Sweden and Tystberga.
The music was made by the guys who were talking inside of a Mercedes.
These were the days before talker-girl Biggis joined the band,
so the music in this film is mostly instrumental.
All the eleven songs which made up the film, are to be experienced if
you click on the `early years´ page tab in the header above.
You can view the title song right here…
