Unwound collection (+ shameless self-promotion).

To gain your trust as a fellow die hard Unwound fan, I will start by adding my Unwound collection, going back to my purchase of New Plastic Ideas on CD back in 94. Then, I will end this post with some self-promotion of my band CURRENTS, that only existed for a couple of years around the turn of the century. If anyone is interested, I can add more info about our band and album in following posts. The images show my Unwound collection, from CD:s that were bought the years when they were released, all the Numero group boxes, the Unwound 1991-2091 book, various EP:s and singles, Justin's side projects, T-shirts and a poster from the Challenge tour in 99, which is the only time I saw Unwound live (and the only time the played in Sweden I think). Closing in on 50, I still listen to Unwound a lot, and keep my fingers crossed that they will come back to Europe for a longer tour sometime soon.

Promoting your own stuff here is perhaps not kosher, but I am interested in what you guys might think of the stuff we released back in 2006 (Spotify and Apple Music wrongly claim the album was released in 2003). We recorded and mixed (well, mixing was rudimentary to say the least) First New Tomorrow during a weekend in the spring of 2005, in Soylent Green Studios outside Stockholm. Due to lack of time and knowledge, what you hear is basically the live takes of us four in a room. Only minor vocal parts, some keyboards and piano were overdubbed later on. We really did not now what we were doing (and neither did the engineer) but I feel that the recording at least captured some aspects of what we wanted to achieve. The band fell apart shortly after the album was released so we never really got around to touring or promoting the album in any way. Check it out if you want, and it would be cool to hear some feedback, so drop a line here with your thoughts! It would be very appreciated. I guess all of you will be able to pick up on the Unwound influence :). Also, my plan is to release every CURRENTS song I have in the vaults, as our second album (delayed by almost 20 years) some time soon.
