Cortex

The Swedish New Wave band Liket Lever transformed into Cortex 1979/80. Freddie Wadling is the only lasting member - the line up changed constantly. 

On their debut album, Spinal Injuries (recorded 1981, released 1983), they were a quintet: Wadling, Wall, Svensson, Jörneryd and Örtendahl. Heavy on Kraut and Hawkwind influences, they didn't sound like the average New Wave band. 

On their next release, Live at Urania (recorded October 1983, released as cassette 1983 and reissued as LP 1990), the line up had changed totally: Wadling, Westergren, Strauss and Hutha. 

On their last album, You Can't Kill the Boogeyman, the line up was Wadling, Wall(again), Lidgaard, Andersson, Karlsson and Söderholm.
