These Swedish guys in Time Gallery impressed a lot on me with both this debut album and their second album and sadly last album titled "Kaleidoscope" as well. Listen to the arrangements on the album and You will surely agree with me. My favourite tracks on this album are "Echo Park" and "Same Kind". (Listen to that great piano intro in a true "Bruce Hornsby-style" how beautiful it is!) Listen how all the songs are build up musically! They´re so well played by these great perfectionistic musicians and the vocals are amazing! What a voice! The song "Valerie" was very much played on the Swedish and Danish radio stations as well. Not only me was impressed of this album and the guys in the band, but their debut album's great producer KEITH OLSEN as well for example. So much as Keith Olsen released it as the first recording on his own new record label called Kore Records, distributed by Atlantic Records. By the way, did You know that Tommy Funderburk also appears on this album as well on backing vocals? If You're listening real close to it You can hear it. But the guys in the band unfortunally forgotten to put Funderburk's name on the cover! I was at that time living very close to these guys in Time Gallery in the same town (Malmoe) and they were great friends of mine and I have heard a lot of true unbelievable stories about these recordings that I very much will take the oportunity to share with You guys out there if it's okey. Keith Olsen was very proud of the guys in Time Gallery so he used to play it for all his musical friends. For example the great composers Tom Kelly, Billy Steinberg, plus Rick Springfield who also was that impressed when he heard these recordings so he had an idea of having the Swedish group Time Gallery as a backing group on his forthcomming tour in America at that time! Unfortunally they never toured together. But guess if those guys in the band was exited when the idea came up! And about 2 years later me and the guitar player of Time Gallery called Fredrik Bergengren was invited to a release party in Stockholm when the great American group GIANT was about to release their album "Last Of The Runaways" in 1989. We were having a beer, or in fact LOTS of beers, together with the guys in GiIANT Dann Huff, Mike Brignardello & Alan Pasqua in GIANT but never told them that Fredrik was a musician as well. After some more beers my quite shy friend Fredrik was telling the keyboard player of GIANT ALAN PASQUA that Fredrik was playing guitar in a Swedish band who have been in the States and recorded an album in Keith Olsen's studio, but Fredrik never told the name of the band that he was playing in. Alan Pasqua then point his finger to Fredrik and asked if the band that Fredrik was playing in was called: Time Gallery!! Guess if Fredrik and I was shocked that they knew their name! Guess if we have laughed a lot over the years to that great moment that night together with GIANT. The group only made one more album, then they split up. Now most of them works with music, as for example studio musicians and composers. The keyboard player Johan Stentorp who also was writing quite a lot of the songs, was later on one of the members of the Pop duo called Trampolines who had some success in Japan.

Discazo de estos suecos a lo Toto ! Tienen un nivel buenísimo entre el Aor y el Westcoast con toques Pop. Los temas del medio (4,5 y 6) son impresionantes pero todo el disco es muy bueno. Si les gusta Toto ni dudarlo.

Thanks for the story Bjorn. Saw your name on the special thanks on the insert to this cd. I enjoyed the story and with the samples I became interested for a while now. Just got this cd yesterday after a unwholesome ebay battle and it sounds really good. I keep playing it right through. Not as hard as most Giant. This is more up my streets. It still rocks but is probably nearer westcoast genre even though still at the same time sounding melodic AOR european. 'Valerie' reminds me of some song by a great band called Bogart Co. who a kind guy in Germany introduced me to (thanks to him). Nice buy
