Today Susanne sent uncut & lo-fi to the factory. It will be finished in about a week. I talked to Bill Öhrström today and he seems like a nice guy and keen on playing. I sent him a copy of Reformed with all the keys for the harmonicas. Everything then seems to be ready for the concert!

Tonight I also bring you a concert from Underbara Bar. Alvaro had the opportunity to join us. Though he was a bit dissatisfied with his sound and volume afterwards. And yes, the harmonica is a bit too low on volume. Anyway it is what it is. With this kind of music one may never know what will happen! That's the way we like it!!!

Everything is ready for the release of "uncut & lo-fi". I am very satisfied. I have had a lot of help with photos and recording from my girlfriend Susanne. Thank you! You are the best! Peter Åkerberg is a photoshop magician with great taste in graphical design. The cover expresses what is on the record, lo-fi(ness). Tomorrow all the material will be sent away to the factory.

While awaiting the record enjoy the a concert from Stampen:

Pedro Martinez is playing the percussion on Amanita Muscaria and Thru breaks. He happened to be there and of course I asked him to join in.

Hello fellow reformers!

Intense is the word. We have had a gig date confirmed by Club Somebody Please Help Me on the November 9. The concert will take place at Engelen in Gamla stan (Old Town). Alvaro won't be able to join us so his place will be filled by Bill Öhrström, a legend in Swedish popular music. In the mid-sixties Bill turned down an offer to become the lead singer in an English group. This group later became The Who!!!

Here is a clip with Bill Öhrström singing and playing the harmonica. He's got IT!



Details about the concert will follow.

Hi everyone!

Busy times. I am negotiating the deal for the new album, which for the moment is called "Uncut & Lo-Fi". I am also considering physical reissues of Easy, Concierto en Altxerri and Reduced & Maximized.

Here is another clip from SFC. This one is the last track from the Reformed album and is called Scapegrace. Be patient! The picture will appear after 26 seconds.



Take care!

Welcome new ones and old ones!

Here is another clip from SFC. This time it's our final number on that concert, the magnificent composition, Hellstone by Kullrusk. On drums, the outstanding drummer, Janne Kullhammar, who did a great job bringing an enormous amount of pure energy to this one. Thanks Janne! You are great!



For the moment Peter Åkerberg and I are working on a Reform live album. It will be very raw and without cuts. It will contain a selection of nine tunes, which will not be the ones with the best sound nor with the most equilibristic solos but with what defines Reform: ENERGY

Look out for it!

If you have any suggestions on anything just contact me on info@reform-music.com

Take care!

Hi there!

Here is another clip from SFC. It's Unmajor and it was made in January during a jam with Peter, Anders and I. Peter came up with the melody, Anders with the rhythm and I with the bass line. That version was published here on the blog a while ago, but here comes a reminder:

Hi again and thank you for having enjoyed Spooky! It is always nice to see that there is some action out there!

There will soon be more from SFC.

At last I publish Alvaro's re-mix of Desert (from Easy). It turned out very nicely I think and he has captured the mood of the composition and shortened it a great deal. Originally it appeared when we were doing a sound test in the studio during the recordings of, what turned out to be, Easy. I was in the control room and as soon as I heard what was about to happen I pressed play on the A-DATS and went into the studio room to join in on percussion along with Anders.

Enjoy!

As the first, still unreleased, record was finished Glasson continued playing the clubs of Stockholm. Glasson was obviously a great success since it rapidly gained a following. This lead to the recording of the second album, also called Glasson, was recorded.

The recording of the first record had been an ordeal because of poor recording conditions. Glasson had decided to record everything by themselves, which meant too much experimenting. Yes, the first record turned well, but as it was finished I remembered that all the material had been moved between more than six different computers after it was first recorded on Johan's portable studio (on which Reduced & Maximized was recorded).

The second album was recorded in the spring of 2007 at Real Music Studio by Per Ängkvist (who also recorded Reformed), a very reliable technician, nice fellow and an out of sight blues guitarist. The result was very satisfying and the sound was the sound a a well-rehearsed rock group with a solid style.

This record is not released either, but will hopefully be available some day.

To be continued...
