Complete collection of my work in one playlist

Quite few recordings I play on appears on my Spotify artist page. It´s a terrible system for credits and discovering other works of your favourite artist:) So I´ve tried to collect everything in a playlist - at least whats on Spotify. All of it. Good or bad!

Follow the playlist if you want. As long as I´m alive it will be updated.
