Gösta Berlings Saga

Back in 2007, we participated on a compilation CD released by a dear friend of us on his label Great Northern Recordings. The CD was released in 157 copies, each handnumbered and with the actual CD attached to a vintage seven inch record with a golden spider painted on it (look above). Very beatiful little thingies. The other three bands that participated was ASS, Erik Enoksson and Detektivbyrån.

The two songs recorded by us for this compilation was “Sorterargatan 2″ and “Polska från Vinsta gård”. Both songs were recorded, mixed and mastered quite fast and sketchy in our own Studio Pelikaan. Due to the fact that this Compilation sold out more or less already at the release party we thought it would be good idea to make them accessible once again in electronic format.

To get some more background, these songs were recorded after Tid Är Ljud was released, and is our first recording with Einar as guitarplayer. In a way you can see this as our Garage Days Re-Revisited-recording. Yes, I am rudely enough comparing Einar to Jason Newsted in the way that album served as Metallicas way of testing the skills, and presenting their new bassplayer. Howerever, we knew already at first rehersal with Einar that he was a keeper, so its not really a fair comparison.

However these songs serve as a good document in time of where we were then, trying to find our new identity as a band. Parts of “Sorterargatan 2″ obviously became “Sorterargatan 3″ on Detta Har Hänt. “Polska från Vinsta gård” however is a totally different story, that would probably not have fitted on any of our albums, but is none the less a good song, but much more folk/jazz-jam than you probably ever heard us.

Enjoy.
