Och resan fortsätter här (

Swedish electronica-band
Pluxus' second album, released as a
CD in
2000 on
Rocket Girl as
catalog number RGIRL28. The tracklist, with translations, is as follows:
- Caravelle (4:04)
- Pluxor (May be a rewrite of "Buksor" -Trousers) (1:35)
- Magnetiska fält (Magnetic Fields) (2:10)
- Den Mörka Stjärnan (The Dark Star) (2:13)
- Djurens Kavalkad (Carnival of the Animals) (1:36)
- Sniff (Snort) (2:20)

- Adjöss (Adios) (2:47)
- Fortsätt ni, så går jag hem (You go on, I'm gonna go home) (2:30)
Called retrofuturism by reviewers, the band makes a charming little album with quirky melodies and funky basslines that can't help but cheer one up in an odd melancholic/nostalgic way, as the geek in you remembers the countless hours spent in front of the Commodore 64 during the 1980s. Pluxus utilize vintage synths and drum machines exclusively for all the songs, and get away with it. The album is more structured than their debut Fas 2 (Phase 2), and I especially reccomend the tracks Caravelle, Sniff and Fortsätt ni, så går jag hem.
The cover art features a Kraftwerkesque image of the the trio, with red decolorations and high contrast.
