About
Radium 226.05 was a record label based in Sweden that specialized in experimental and industrial music during the 1980s. Operating primarily during the mid-to-late 1980s, the label released work by avant-garde composers and musicians working with unconventional instrumentation and electronic sound. The label's catalog demonstrates a focus on innovative approaches to composition, particularly works exploring the intersection of traditional instruments and machines. Notable releases include albums by Conductor, Sten Hanson, and Rune Lindblad, as well as conceptual works such as "Saw - Music For Instruments And Machines" and "Life And Death Of Pboc." The label's output was distributed on vinyl LP format, positioning it within the underground experimental music community of Scandinavia. With its limited but carefully curated catalog of six releases between 1983 and 1988, Radium 226.05 maintained a distinctive artistic vision centered on sonic experimentation and boundary-pushing composition, contributing to the broader European industrial and avant-garde music landscape of the period.
