Hagnesta Hill

Hagnesta Hill is an album by the Swedish band Kent, released in 1999 (Swedish version) and 2000 (English version). For the English version two new songs, "Quiet Heart" and "Just Like Money" were recorded, and "Ett tidsfördriv att dö för" and "Insekter" were left out. "Ett tidsfördriv att dö för" was later used as a hidden track in the Digipak version, where it's called "A Timekill to Die For". This was the second and last English album Kent recorded, as the album's reception (like that of its predecessor, Isola), was not as positive as expected.

* The lyrics contained in Rollercoaster (All those memories will be lost in time/Like tears in the rain) are lifted from the penultimate scene of Blade Runner, as spoken by Roy Batty to Rick Deckard. On Kent's previous album Isola, the band also paid homage to the film, as the song "OWC" stands for Off World Colonies and the opening piano line was also from the movie.

gollark: Vertical farming and hydroponics could maybe work eventually but it'd be a very hard switch.
gollark: You do know that that involves plants right? And land area?
gollark: Also, unflooded coastal areas and bearable weather.
gollark: Yeees. We do kind of need ecosystems to continue functioning.
gollark: More importantly, there isn't *that* much country-building space to go around, and rather a lot of people who think themselves "strong and aggressive". The probability of an arbitrary "strong and aggressive" person doing this is low.
