Scapa Flow was a Swedish EBM band, formed in 1988, and was one of the icons of the new EBM and synth scene that sprung up in Sweden in the late 80's. They toured frequently in Sweden and made a German tour in 1991 with fellow Swedish EBM´ers Pouppée Fabrikk.
The lineup were originally a foursome, but somewhere along the line they lost a member and in 2002 there was Andreas Carlsson, Johan Nygren and Carl Sjöström left. The band was named after Scapa Flow in the Orkney Islands. The band slipped into the unknown after their 1994 release "Heads off to freedom". There was talk about releasing new material after the release of the 2002 compilation CD, but Scapa Flow seems to have slipped into oblivion yet again.
disease is also part of "the guide" album...love what they used to do...simply genious ;)

Guide and Chased By Sunset are both great cds.They delivered darker, deeper electronic landscapes like "Creation" "Sins" "India Rubber" etc. If you were looking for mindless EBM to dance to, Scapa Flow didn't always deliver that.

I can see why they slipped into oblivion,or I should say hear why.

the first album (the guide) is for sure much better than the 2nd one although the production was quite poor.

Please upload "Creation". I'm looking for this song for years now. :-)

This is a great track but the full-length CD 'Chased By Sunset' is nothing special.
Another awesome track from SCAPA FLOW is called 'Disease' and it's on a German compilation 'The Official Techno Club Compilation' on New Zone label.
Thanks for posting!
