An excerpt from H.D Lawrences book "Twilight in Italy"

By Matti Inkinen,

I read an excerpt from H.D Lawrence's book
"Twilight in Italy". I hadn't seen this book, nor have I read it yet, but is describes passion in a way I only can admire. The phrase "And the dance begins again kicks-off a passionate event, just like we tried to achieve in our album.

And this is how it goes.

We played a gig and then new horizons...

By Matti Kervinen

We played a very nice record release gig in Restaurant Kaisla in Helsinki a couple of weeks ago with Jari Loisa and his band.

It was a warm evening, lots of friends, truly a nice athmosphere to play almost the new album and Deeply Connected and Ancient Queen from the first album. Jari Loisa joined us doing backing vocals on No-Show and I´m In A Train and Kalle Fält played saxes  on Waves, Deeply Connected, Maria,  I´m In A Train, High Tide, Ancient Queen and Christmas Carol From Flanders.

We´re already looking for the next one with lots of ideas in the bag and ready to start very soon.

Good vibrations!

Cheers

About George W. Bush, Stupidity and Greed

(by Matti Inkinen)

High Tide was the last song recorded to our coming album and also the last song I made lyrics for. I thought I’ll make lyrics of something I really feel passionate about. It like automatically came to this financial turmoil as it has affected lives of Billions of people, not perhaps directly, but indirectly. Iraq was bad, but let me tell you, its only piece of a cake compared to what the greediness of few and stupidity of few others have and will cause to billions of people. That makes me really, really angry. So, I made the lyrics and went to studio and Samu – our studio engineer – laughed about the rage I sang the song with. That wasn’t originally the purpose, but like most unintentional actions, it felt right. So we decided to keep it.

So this song is all about George W. Bush and his Gang(sters) and greed.

Why Christmas Carol in May?

by Matti (Inkinen)

Some of our fans have already noticed that we have a Christmas Carol in our coming album, and of course, they ask why. Again, the honest answer is our master plan sucked. To transform a problem to a virtue, there is another side of the story: it gives us the opportunity to expose the full meaning of that song without wrapping it to Christmas wrappings, glory and commercials. If you give me the chance I’ll explain this a bit more.

New Album Coming - Finally

by Matti (Inkinen)

I bet you thought we were dead and buried. It’s been almost four years since our previous album. However, we have been working hard to improve our sound, played some gigs and I really believe the break has developed as a band. It’s much more of a band album than Trace of Ligh was. I believe you find our sound more earthy and aggressive. If the first album was mellow, distant and blue, this one is full of colours and life. Of course the judgement is yours. But I really urge you to try it.
