Anna Själv Tredje were a Swedish electronic duo who released their only album, Tussilago Fanfara on Silence in 1977.
The duo obviously got their main inspiration from mid-70s Klaus Schulze, from the sequences, organ and slow drones of Timewind to the cosmic fragility of the concurrently released Mirage. Of course, the addition of guitar can't help but draw this closer to the mellower moments of late 70's Ashra, although it's mostly an embellishment when present. The frequent use of organ throughout also points towards Terry Riley and Peter Michael Hamel, and the presence acts to contrast the sequences which, compared to Schulze and Gottsching, seem fairly understated.
In 1980 in Göteborg the band got in touch with Älgarnas Trädgård and later in the 80s the bands merged and started Cosmic Overdose, that in its turn became Twice a Man.
