Re: New Swedish hiphop album made completely in Linux!

[Gabbe Nord <gabbe.nord@xxxxxxxxx>]

Set and Jostein, my fellow Swedes, ett riktigt riktigt stort tack till er båda! :D

Julien: Funny, one of the things I always look forward the most when posting songs to these lists are your thought through and excellent feedback and impressions, thank you very much! It's always a pure pleasure reading what you have to say.

Hahaha you got me with A Change of Heart, I did manage to sneak that in here too, like in everything else I've done ;). And yeah, you're perfectly right about the drums, I will keep that in mind for the future, thanks!

Oh, right, the track names! I probably should've made some format where I didn't have any of the Swedish special signs. No worries! I'll make sure I think about that too in the future.

Thank you very much again for your comments! And thank you very much again Set, Jostein and Harry, for your comments!

Hello Gabbe!
  First of all thanks for an interesting album. And thanks for all the different download possibilities. I used the torrent and it worked very smoothly. This is very much appreciated!
  So the album. I found it to be captivating. Not all the way through, but there was enough difference and change between the songs, to be curious for every next track. And my, there were a few surprises.
  I love the occasional meditative passages, reminiscent of some of your earlier solo productions. Very good wordplay as well. No, just joking. :-) I don't speak Swedish. But sometiems it reminded me of nothern German speech melody, comparing it to Fettes Brot in my mind. One of the last tracks - the one with solo vocals most of the time - almost put me in mind of some piece from Tuva I once heard.
  Also the change in drumkits and arrangement - partly orchestral, very electronic, acoustic guitar feel, etc. - was pleasant to the ears and mind. - I had to smile, when I discovered, that you were able to recycle bits of Change of Heart once more. :-) There were other movements, parts of riffs, that reminded me of your handwriting.
  One detail I stumbeld across in almost every song: why did you mix the drumkits so quietly? Very counter-intuitive. The tracks do have punch, but they could have had more of a raw edge of a drive with the drums mixed more prominently. I recognise some Hydrogen kits here. :-) But thanks anyway, for not using the TR-808 kit as so many hiphop artists appear to do in recent years, not that I follow the scene closely. Perhaps they did stop doing so a while ago. :-) Still, I'm glad to find the old school of percusive elements. Yet as I said: not boring or repetitive amongst the pieces.
  Nice work! I'll be listening to it again in portions. By the way, sorry for not quoting tracknames, but there were a few characters, which I couldn't interprete. I could read them, but didn't know, which letter of the alphabet with which accent they were. I hope you will forgive me.
  Thanks for sharing this album so freely!
  Warm regards
         Julien
