    " I started the recordings in Sjöbo, a small village outside the little bigger Ljusdal in Hälsingland up north. I rented an Adat recorder and whent up there in the middle of September -94 to the cabin that I share with my brother. I stayed for a month and recorded. Seven channels with guitar and one channel for the sequenser. Two microphones; one Shure SM58 and a condensor micerophone. A 30W Marshall Artist and some dist.boxes. An electric bass Höfner from 1963, my brothers. Yamaha SPX90 & 900fx + one DX7 and eight TX7 synthesizers. One 386 PC with Voyetra sequenser plus Golden programme. My intension was to stay for two weeks, but I couldn't go home, I enjoyed it too much, I had a super nice time, and fun. In the beginning of summer 1995 I went to Koppom with my car packed once more. After a couple of days, Hassan - Jembe, Jörgen - Drums and Patrik - Bass joined me. I preffered real drums and bass instead of the synthetic instruments.
    Anders and I mixed and trixed with effects and defects until we were satisfied. Together with Eva and Nikolaj we named the tunes in English so that also our foreign friends would understand a small amount of what it is all about." Kenny Håkansson
