===''Hagnesta Hill'' and ''B-sidor 95-00'' (1999–2000)=== {{details|topic=the albums|Hagnesta Hill|B-sidor 95-00}} In December 1999, Kent released ''[[Hagnesta Hill]]'', named after Hagnestahill, a part of [[Eskilstuna]] where the band had had their first studio. The first single from the album, "[[Musik non stop]]", a disco-rock song, became a huge radio hit. The album was, for the most part, faster and less ballad-focused than Isola, and also mildly experimental with drum-machines and electronics. Two more singles were released, the [[Industrial music|industrial]]-esque "[[En himmelsk drog]]" (A Heavenly Drug) and the power-poppy "[[Kevlarsjäl]]" (Kevlar Soul). In April 2000, an English version of ''Hagnesta Hill'' was released, in which two songs from the Swedish version were replaced with two new English tracks ("Just Like Money" and "Quiet Heart"). The album was also released in a limited digipack with one of the excluded songs, "A Timekill to Die For", included as a [[Hidden track|hidden bonus track]]. The album was accompanied by the release of the single "Music Non Stop"; the other omitted song, "Insects", was included as its [[A-side and B-side|b-side]]. A planned US release of the album was shelved, resulting in the circulation of "cut-out" promo copies. With no official album to promote, a US tour never materialized. In connection with the release of the English version of ''Hagnesta Hill'', Kent went on a European tour, finishing at the [[Roskilde Festival]]. Since their debut, Kent had recorded a large number of b-sides. Since most of them had long gone out of print, it was very hard to get them legally, so in 2000, Kent released the two-CD collection ''[[B-sidor 95–00]]'' (B-Sides 95–00). It featured 21 b-sides and two new songs. A documentary was also shot the same year, ''Så nära får ingen gå – ett år med Kent'' ("No One Can Get This Close – a year with Kent"), produced by [[Per Sinding-Larsen]] and Mathias Engstrand.<ref>[https://www.aftonbladet.se/nojesbladet/musik/a/P3EQ5R/svt-gor-film-om-kent SVT gör film om Kent], ''Aftonbladet.se''</ref>
