It's always helpful to know a band's influences, and Skanfrom goes as far as to list them on the sleeve of Hand Picked Fragments: Bochum Welt, Aphex Twin, Isan, Solvent, Vice Versa, and Kraftwerk. While that's certainly a start toward understanding Skanfrom, this one-man-band isn't simply a sum of the influences. Like fellow electro new-new wavers Fischerspooner, Skanfrom's sound is simultaneously retro and futuristic -- it feels both 20 years ahead of the times and 20 years behind them.
