We rarely play compilations during this part of the show, but I have been lately listening to this one rather a lot. It reminds me of the best 80's music mixed with the best of the 90's music, but it's 21st century music. The band made a ton of great songs, but the also had a great knack of picking good singles. One of our all-time favorite Swedish bands, and sadly quite under the radar in America. This band will someday see some more cult followers surely....they are too good not too demand your attention. "And you can feel the sunshine fading. And it's too soon but you're stuck waiting"
