Additional Info
Unreleased 2nd album / demo material officially released by German label AOR Heaven.
What you are hearing on this CD is something that took place very early on in a lot of people's careers and it is something we all put a great deal of effort into, so it is extremly gratifying that something has become of it. It is something that you, our fans, have requested. Thank you, Antonio - Talk of The Town 1998.
Thanklist: Lasse Gustavsson and Soundtrade, Fredrik Andersson, Janne Helge Warmoth guitars, Soldano, Tommy Denander, David M. at Estrad Musik, Our families & friends.
Top Of The Mountain (music A. Salueña & words T. Vikström)
Thomas Vikström - lead & backing vocals, Antonio Salueña - guitars, Staffan Linder - bass, Johan Kullberg - drums, Mats Jacobsson-keyboards
Was originally the working title for the album and intended to be the first single, as it is in the same vain as "Free like an eagle" from the first album. Others tried to sing on it but Thomas' vocals felt the most appropriate...
Late For Love (music & words A. Salueña)
Totten - lead vocals, Antonio Salueña - guitar & bass, Johan Kullberg - drums, Mats Jacobsson - keyboards, Annie Guta - backing vocals
Recorded during the second set of sessions at Soundtrade Studios. Features Totten who was the new lead vocalist for a short period. Annie, a great singer &good friend came over and we just had to have her on the track.
Take Me High (music & words A. Salueña)
Conny Lind-lead & backing vocals, Antonio Salueña - guitar & bass, Staffan Scharin - drum programming, Mats Jacobsson- keyboards, Thomas Vikström - backing vocals
This was the first demo recorded for this second album. Conny was the second lead singer to try out. Written during a tour and recorded at our Producers home studio.
Love Touch (music & words A. Salueña)
Thomas Vikström - lead & backing vocals, Antonio Salueña - guitar & bass, Johan Kullberg - drums, Andreas Grill - keyboards, Lena Borg - backing vocals
This song appears on Thomas' solo album released on the virgin Records label. We were aiming towards a more funky style at this point. Thomas' wife Lena helps out on the chorus.
Broken Promises (music A. Salueña & T. Vikström words T. Vikström)
Totten-lead & backing vocals, Antonio Salueña - guitar & bass, Johan Kullberg – drums, Thomas Ahlstrand - keyboards
This was demoed once before at Glen studio. Totten was unsure about the lyrics on the line " please come back to me and hesitated but it turned out perfect. It was a first take.
Reach For The Sky (music & words A. Salueña)
Thomas Vikström - lead & backing vocals, Antonio Salueña - guitar & bass, Johan Kullberg-drums, Mats Jacobsson - keyboards
We had some fun with the intro, restructured some parts and the dry guitar sound on the solo happened quite by chance. At the time there was a rap group working in another studio and we asked if maybe this guy "Swing" wanted to do a rap on it. He came in to the studio after an hour or so with the words you hear on this recording.
You Hide Your Love (music & words A. Salueña) Conny Lind lead & backing vocals, Antonio Salueña - guitar & bass, Staffan Scharin-drums, Mats Jacobsson-keyboards, Thomas Vikström-backing vocals
A song more pop oriented. The song writing at this time was influenced by many different styles as you may hear.
Strange Love (music A. Salueña/M. Lange & words T. Vikström/M. Lange)
Thomas Vikström - lead & backing vocals, Antonio Salueña - guitar & bass, Johan Kullberg-drums, Mats Jacobsson- keyboards
We put a lot of work into the arrangement of "Strange Love" We tried doing it with different singers but it was Thomas power and force that did this song justice. The intro was a bit of experimenting with reversing the analogue tape with backing vocals and adding some delay and reverb
Waiting (music & Words A. Salueria)
Thomas Vikström-lead & backing vocals, Antonio Salueña-guitar & bass, Johan Kullberg-drums, Mats Jacobsson- keyboards, Totten-backing vocals
Originally sung by Totten but Thomas was back in the band again so he did a take. Thomas on lead Vox & Totten on b-vox.
Come On Closer (music A. Salueña & words A. Salueña & N. Geli)
Thomas Vikström - lead vocals, Antonio Salueña - guitar & bass, Johan Kullberg - drums, Mats Jacobsson-keyboards, Lena Borg-backing vocals
Recorded at the same time as "Love Touch". Nestor Geli wrote a lot for other Swedish artists and this was a good opportunity to work together.
Bad Attitude (music A. Salueria & words T. Vikström)
Thoma Vikström - lead & backing vocals, Antonio Salueña - guitar, Mats Jacobsson - keyboards, programmed drums & bass
A very early demo recorded as a rough draft, at Glen Studio, included here because we thought the chorus was good and it had the potential to become a good song
