Desperation

Just in time for the pre-elective mood. Let’s all go vote in a state of desperation and good things are surely going to happen! 🙂

On a completely different note:

“Around 30 songs were recorded for the Insurgentes album. 10 were included on the final album, and another 5 on the bonus disc that came with the special edition. Here is another one that was left unfinished at the time, but I finished and mixed it in January 2010. Gavin Harrison on drums.”

So, of 30 inevitably great songs, we’ve only heard 15. Right… Here’s one of the rest.

 

Storm Corrosion – Ljudet Innan

Storm Corrosion. I’ve been waiting for this collaboration since I first heard about it a little after PT’s last concert in Athens. Mikael Åkerfeldt & Steven Wilson promised they would be writing some music together which wouldn’t be for the fans at all; they would be making it for themselves. With this album, the trifecta of Grace for Drowning – Heritage – Storm Corrosion is complete. The duo’s work of the previous year has been phenomenal, incredible. Magic. I wonder what would have come out of all this if they had strived to make music for someone other than themselves…

The title of the song is Swedish for “The sound before”.

The sound before… the Greek election results? Doing some Java with the ulterior motive to get on with my life? This crazy love I’ve been waiting to share my all with? Realising that this is the first day of the rest of my life or that the Present is all there is?

The sound before. No more needs to be said.

 

Downsides of Denmark

A Dane criticizes Denmark and the Danes. We gape at this apparent contradiction in terms and, when we’ve got over the shock, sit back and enjoy.
