Patrik Lemberg's comments on "The Next Time You'll Come To Town"

 

This song has no mikseri comments, since the recording was finished in

early September 2003, so I thought I'd add some commentary myself.

Before we started recording this song we had not yet played it with full line-up.

This is the case with most of these recordings. 'FFF Wizard', e.g., was

recorded during our first rehearsal, before some of the members had even met.

Bass and drums were recorded for `Next Time' early in the summer, vocals

and trumpet were added a month later, and in September KeBu found time to

record Rhodes and synthesizer in order to mix the song.

The song has developed into a longer and longer jam every time we have played it.

It usually lasts around ten minutes when we play it live because of (or thanks to)

extended solo lengths (solo-turns often end with 'fours' between me and Kenneth).

This particular song is starting to work better every time we play it live, as opposed
to this early version, since there are no musical limits of exploration for one who solos
upon a simple one-chorded groove, which the song now features.

To me this recording is just a taste of what the song can be (and should be).
