Finally! It's been a long road for us, but our first song Alias Modesty Blaise can now be heard on our MySpace page: http://www.myspace.com/kulingvarning. Check it out and let me know what you think! If you have a MySpace page, add us too!

Cheers, Andreas

Funkee stuff, Andreas! I especially like the horns. And the drumming. :-)
I'm not a fan of the singer though, he sounds a bit plain, but it could be the recording, too (cos he sounds a bit muffled and indirect.)
How did you record the stuff?

@Skitz: I know it's bork-bork-Swedish, but I trust you will spread the music to everyone in England anyway. :)

@Analog-X64: Hehe, that's a very nice compliment! Please share. ;)

@Romeo: And the drumming? Wohoo! :) There's actually no horns there. 'Just' four layers of soprano sax. We recorded the music ourselves in a studio one of the guys have free access to. It's not 100 percent professional sounding because we don't have a lot of experience in recording real instruments, but it's good enough. Do you have time to do some mastering? Just throwing out a question. I'm sure you can do lots more than I have.

Sweden's newest pop sensation :lol:

Still, at least I know the "trummor" in a famous Swedish band... agree with the others, it's funky!

Yeah, really,and I like the snare sound, too, it sounds old-fashioned in a positive sense although it's a bit too loud in the mix.

Ah yes. (Isn't "horns" a synonym for brass and woodwind sections in pop music?) :confusion:

Hehe...it's not that I wouldn't like to but I believe i really got no time for this at the moment, too many other projects I have to finish in the first months of this year.

@Merman: Sounds flashy, eh? ;) And by the way! I read in RG that your book is out. Have I completely missed out on the promotional emails? We need to talk about this in a private mail Andrew.

@Romeo: Thanks for the feedback, and I knoooow you're busy. :)

@Trace: Nice comparison although I can't recall that many funky Amiga tracks. Thanks for the comment. Make sure your kids gets some funky music in their lives!

DaFunk, thanks for the kind words! I will interpret the lyrics live on SLAY Radio for you some time in the future. ;) I will also send you the audio files we talked about earlier. They're stuck in the studio at the moment...
