Virna Lindt - anything?

I have her "Attention Stockholm" single, but was wondering what else she's got out there. I've so far been impressed with her 1 song. Good if you like Hazel O'Connor(for which I only have a greatest hits CD of).

I love her Swedish spy come fashion model image, so kitsch but cool. I hear she's really related to the Swiss chocolate maker. The first album "Shiver" was remastered and very nice. The second album "Play/Record" was only released in Japan on CD. There's also a compilation with tracks from both called "The Dossier on Virna Lindt"

I just heard Attention Stockholm too. It's intriguing - I'd like to hear more from her. Perhaps someone could post a yousendit link or two?

I kept waiting for this one to get going but it kinda goes nowhere...

You're right ekahob.

She reminds me a lot of Cristina - great ideas, ironic deadpan delivery - doesn't always work.

And here's a more recent tune from 1995 from a compilation of modern interpretations of a famous composer
