PS. For those who don’t speak Italian we can also mention that DHH was one of the finalists for the Italian Prog Awards’ prize for Best Foreign Album. In the end, the prize went to Kotebel for their album “Ouroboros”. Congratulations!

Live on radio!

On Thursday the 18th at 8.30 PM CET Sveriges Radio P3 will broadcast the live recording of our show at the Eurosonic festival in Groningen (NL)!

We have had the opportunity to hear the recording as well as to come with feedback regarding the mix and the result is something we like a lot. As we played for 45 mins and the radio show is only 30 mins we had to cut a little in it so two or three songs are missing, but who knows – perhaps we can use them somewhere else in the future. In the end, we chose three lengthy ones; Sorterargatan 3, Västerbron 05:30 and Svenska Hjärtan (extended live version).

There should be no problems listening from abroad but there doesn’t seem to be a translated version of the website, so it might be good for you to know that “Lyssna på Webbradio” at the top opens the live web radio and “Lyssna” in the yellow field opens the latest P3 Live broadcast. The archives are on the right side of that link.

Great new review: 6/6 in ProgressoR

New reviews are still coming in and the latest one we found out about is from the old-timer ProgressoR. 6 out of 6 stars and with quotes like the one below we are obviously very happy about it all.

Stellar instrumental performances and high quality compositions combine beautifully [...] The end result is a brilliant piece of work, one of the best efforts of 2009, and a CD I suspect will be regarded as a classic production in the future.

PS. Stay tuned… in the next few days we will reveal something exciting happening next Thursday, March 18th.

Zzzpotify vs. Grooveshark

Most of us in the band use Spotify every day to listen to music we like, both old and new albums. One of the newer albums that we perhaps would not listen to daily but really would like to see there is of course Detta Har Hänt.  More than 6 months after its release it is still not online, making some people confused, asking us if Tid är Ljud is the one that has generated some buzz lately.

We are not really sure whether you need to have a contact on the inside or not to get an album on Spotify in connection with a cd release, but what we do know is that Detta Har Hänt can be found on Grooveshark meanwhile. Below is a widget with all the songs, so if you haven’t got the album yet – check out our webshop in a new window while listening and get inspired to $CONSUME$.

P3 Guld – over and out + webshop

The P3 Guld cermony was held this Tuesday and no, we did unfortunately not win. But we are of course happy and proud to have been nominated at all. And the winners, Switch Opens, are both good and using mellotrons. And that is a good thing as well! Congratulations!

We have had a small problem with our webshop for some time, a problem that seems to have been bigger than we realized as quite a few people have been bailing out from ordering in the last minute according to our weblogs. No wonder when it was only possible to enter  Sweden as the shipping country.  This is hopefully fixed now, but please let us know if you run into any other problems.

We have also put up two “value packs” if you like the idea of saving some money. In short, you will either get all or most of the shipping for free, depending on where you live. And some good merchandise as well. We (and the record company) seem to have about 15 copies left of Tid är Ljud in digipack and if it ever gets a new pressing it will probably be in jewel case. So if you don’t have it yet, make sure you get one of the last copies now. The same goes for the canvas bags. We have about 30 of them left.
