Hello everyone.
Hard at work in the studio in Stockholm. Norum is laying down some great guitars using both Les Paul and Strat for the rhythm guitars. Joey's working on lyrics. When asked what the songs are about he just replies "defiance, politics and sex.....not particular in that order".
In between Norum's guitar overdubs both Mic and Leven records some of their magic. Leven has put down some fret-less bass. Mic some pads and and Nord klav. We're also preparing a score for a strings orchestra we're gonna record on a few tracks in Prag.
Ian just came in to visit us in the studio. Straight from doing his radio show. As you know the drums are already done and fabulous. We're working here in Stockholm until Sunday. Then we start up again on the 5th of Jan. in Gothenburg with vocals, keyboards and more guitars.
There will however be lyric work and other preparations over the holidays. But we'll try and get a few days of over Christmas.
There is a rumour that the "real" Santa's gonna appear this year.
Talk to you soon.

I see John wasn't going for the fretless, but for the string-less approach.
Allready knew he was a good guitar-player, but didn't expect this
;-)
Merry Christmas to you guys! I know your new album will surpass everything you've done this far!
BUON NATALE E BUON ANNO!
Are you gonna preparing a score for a strings orchestra? Realy? It,s very interesting idea! Your sound with orchestra in concert "Almost unplugged" was excellent!!!"we're gonna record on a few tracks in Prag". Then you are will be near by me. :-) Kissesssss Guys!Good luck!

Hello boys, I am in store to work.
I'm waiting for my father, mother and sister...
They are in machine and are coming from Toscany to find me in Sicily...
They are three months that I do not see my parents...
Little hours ago my mother has telephoned to me, she was listening and singing "Coast to coast"...I have begun to cry...I'm very happy...
