New CD's in my record collection: "Free - The Columbia/Arc Recordings 1976-1988" by fabulous US singer Deniece Williams. It includes eleven remastered albums filled with amazing music from the seventies and eighties. Highly recommended!
Don't miss mine and Larry Forsberg's synthpop project Eurotix's latest EP including "I Forget Myself", the song that was originally recorded as a demo for Melodifestivalen (Swedish pre-selection to the Eurovision Song Contest) by my old alter-ego Bimbo Boy. We decided to re-record it, with new vocals and a more Eurotix-ish sound.
The EP also includes three brand new tracks: the Alphaville inspired "A Memory", "My Shining One" and a Hi-NRG remix of the fan favourite "Will You
Remember Me?".
