BWO is a Swedish electro pop group, formed in 2004 by composer and keyboardist Alexander Bard, Ukrainian-born keyboardist Marina Schiptjenko and Polish-born singer Martin Rolinski. Prior to early 2006 they used the name Bodies Without Organs. In Sweden they have enjoyed considerable commercial success throughout their career, so far notching up 15 Top 40 singles, including a Number 1 with Temple of Love, and five Top 10 albums including a Number 1 with Halcyon Days, and have won several major Swedish music awards. Since the mid 2000s, BWO have had significant chart success in several Eastern European countries including Ukraine and Russia, and some moderate success in the United Kingdom, Switzerland, Germany, Norway, Denmark, Finland, and the United States. 2009 saw a major breakthrough for the band in Japan, China and Taiwan with the compilation album Sunshine In The Rain, especially designed for the Asian market. This release was greatly supported by leading Asian star Jolin Tsai, whose international #1 hit cover version of a BWO song opened Asia to the Swedish band. As a curious note, BWO is not a full-time project for any of the members. In fact, Alexander Bard works as a philosopher; Marina Schiptjenko is an art dealer in Stockholm and Martin Rolinski has a Master of Science in Engineering and works in that field.Prototype (2005)

Marina Schiptjenko co-wrote Voodoo Magic with Bard and Hansson. A mix of Voodoo Magic is featured in the swedish vampire flick Frostbiten. The album peaked at #2 in Sweden.
