A large(ish) overhaul of BenGranfelt.com started yesterday. So bare with us if things don't work that good all the time. Today we have one change, the Forum has been reverted (back) to a good ol' Guestbook - so check that out!
Other scheduled updates include: the equipment page, optimizing the site for bigger resolutions, launching of Sprucefield.fi and maybe something else also... you'll have to wait and see!

Greets, Micke

Hi all and a Happy New Year,
the site seems to be working great on the new servers (a month now without any major problems) - and also the galleries are almost back online. Still some content missing, but we're getting there.

Unfortunately the Blog doesn't work at the moment soi I'm posting here instead!
 
I've been mixing 5 new songs at Werne Studios with Manne Axberg who also mixed "All I want to be" and "Sum of Memories".
The songs are;
Julie, a rock song that reminds me a bit about Deep Purple mainly because there's a cool duel solo between me and Kasper. So far the heaviest song we have. I found this song on a cd by the band Paste from Munich... our version is totally different.
Make up my mind with my heart (not sure about the title yet!?), a shuffle bluesy song. A nice change since we haven't recorded any shuffles before. Also has a bit of guitar harmony after the solo for a change. Still not sure if it will make it on the album since it's so different.
Prelude This Soul of mine, A very Pink Floyd style epic with a cinematic intro, total time 9 mins and 3 seconds :-)
Dead in the Water, a cover of the David Gray song. I'm very happy with our version.
Suburban Blues, An instrumental "jam", only 2 parts but great with different dynamics. Nice wurlitzer solo from Kasper...

The next bunch of songs will be recorded in september and mixed in october.It's so nice to play new stuff again and most of these song will be in the set list for the autumn gigs.
Unfortunately 3 gigs have been cancelled from our autumn tour.It's too late to schedule new gigs but we're already talking and booking for march-april next year in Finland. Germany is also being booked for February.

Take care and all the best,Ben
