Here you will find discographies for many groups and artist - mainly synth pop/techno pop and electronic music, but also general pop & rock.
Please note that this site is personally maintained by me only, and all groups/artists are my own personal favourites.
In these days of digital downloads, I think it's also nice to know how the music was originally released - on discs!
A 'discography' is basically a list of what records any given artist or group has released.
I try to keep my discographies short enough to quickly show fans which albums, singles, B-sides and rare tracks exist,
all in chronological order. I avoid to include too much information, such as information about all releases around the world,
special promotional records etc, unless they contain unique tracks or versions. In short: they are intended for music fans, not collectors.
In some cases I have not made my own discography, so I link directly to an official site and/or good fan site instead.
Below you will find the artists listed in cathegories, and after that you can find some useful links (do take a minute to check out my CDs for sale). All site content is copyrighted.

This site was first published in August 1996 as 'The Music World of Jonas Wårstad' (located at www.algonet.se/~jonwar).
It remained there until November 2003 when I moved it (to http://home.tiscali.se/musicworld/) and renamed it 'MusicWorld'.
For various reasons I then decided to get my own domain and on 19 February 2005 all site content moved to this present location.
