Interview on Finnish radio (YLE)

Well, on one sunny afternoon, this reporter guy calls us up and asks all sorts of questions, such as if rock was the last frontiere for us "mature" musicians who just wouldn't quit their adolecent garage band in time, and watch cable instead like everyone else. I kind of answered "Yes, I guess that's pretty much it." But in retrospect, the entire jazz scene is full with old dudes who go on playing better and better for every year that passes..

But he was ok that guy and didn't give us a hard time, said liked progressive himself, even though the network rarely allowed him to play tracks longer than six minutes... Perhaps the 5.38 of Queen's 'Bohemian Rapsody' was the candidate for their all-time long-play record. Anyway, they faded after about 6.30 and missed the twirling ending.

Anyway, you can check out the traces from out visit on their site at yle.fi (more Swedish lessons).

Well, er, it's a crude demo version anyway, with some artifacts, noteworthy the lined-in guitars, midi-triggered drum kit , and the mother all analog band echoes which is generously utilized throughout - all recorded on a state-of-the-art 1'' tape player from the good ol' days. Seems like having the year 1972 calling from afar, seeking us, needing us, wanting, longing - carry on with your dreams, that's what it's all about.
