Yeah, I should have said 'I think it's a fantastic album'. And yes, if you don't like Thomas's voice I can understand you wouldn't like the album. But I do so that's ok :-).
And sorry for starting a new thread...

sorry for sounding hard, or like a police or something.
happy you like it,
I'm proud the guy is Swedish, there's not so much with that quality coming from here...

I adore this album..although I prefer the original release to the "revised" edition. For one, the new version has removed the track "Where's the High?" which is one of my faves. The two new tracks are good esp. "For Now", but I think it's a shame the other track was taken off. Also, the new mix sounds a bit flat, sounds as if it's been compressed a little too much. I recommned the original version if you can find it...I think the label was Clearspot records if I'm not mistaken. I also love Thomas' voice.

The intro and other piano-parts remind me very much of Paul Buchanan's solo-album "Mid Air". The electronics later on are subtle. Nice. I noticed one songline has nearly the same notes as Hallelujah (Leonard Cohen).
