"You Don't Know" is sharif's first single ever. This single version is one minute shorter than the album version, and you don't even realise it. Computerized guitar riffs that sweeps all over you. Soft as snow but warm inside. The B - side is an instrumental piece that just didn't make it to the album. Listen to it while bathing in your bath tub surrounded by black candles. Music for a Daydream Nation.

The second album from the dull "sharif" has no limits. Even though this record was recorded with no boundaries even sometimes without bandmembers, it gives more answers than asks questions. The band is unspeakable so the music speaks for itself. So much water has drained the band since the first album, so many sorrows and so many bottles. Birds, Bristol, Violence, Moss (Eagerly Awaiting Anytime), Inst., Dub, Sand, Kärnvapen, Friendship, Alcohol, Nuclear, Siaseet.

This was the first Adrian Recordings' release ever. Sharif was from day one a dysfunctional band. Nothing has gone better since then. Sharif knew by that time who Mark Kozelek and Nick Drake was but they hadn't forgotten the alternative 80's with bands like Sonic Youth and Einstürzende Neubauten. Other favourites by that time were The Velvet Underground, Tindersticks and Eric's Trip. If you then add some jazz drumming and some soulvoice improvising, you should be able to guess what the album sounds like
