Sadly, Björn passed away today from complications related to cancer. He was 69.
Here in Sweden he was most famous for his biggest hit, "Brusa Högre Lilla Å":

The flute on TWC is awesome. The track you posted actually does sound a bit like Mike's stuff from that era, nice!

As for him having died, I'm sorry to hear that. I never really know what to say when that happens.

Björn had a long and frutiful career as a performer and composer. He wrote movie scores and released numerous albums of original music, ranging from jazz fusion to new-age like compositions. I haven't heard all of his catalogue myself, but I think his music would be of interest to people who enjoy Mike's music.

I have no idea how he teamed up with Mike actually.
