Greetings fellow reformers!
It was a nice gathering at Restaurang Lilla Wien last weekend and a nice premier for the "new" Reform with Micke Hujanen on guitar and Mattias Lennestig on keyboard. We played three sets consisting of our own material plus some Grateful Dead and some Miles Davis' tunes.
Friday evening was somewhat "searching", but still satisfying. Saturday night was great. The energy level was on top and, according to me, everyone was playing great! I think this is the best line-up so far. It really feels like a band and not like some musicians jamming together. This time I think we are forming a sound consisting of very open-minded musicians in search for unity.
Well, judge for yourself!
First off is Three Part Dream.
Followed by Downhill. The intro images are kind of weird. The beginning of the song was not recorded on camera so to begin with there are some imagery from the movie Dark Magus, made by me and my brother Anders in the late 90s. Anyway, it is better than a black screen!
Next I present you with the complete first set from Saturday.

On Thursday evening November 18 we had a fantastic rehearsal playing only Reform tunes. Micke Hujanen really got into it and had a lot of suggestions concerning groove and arrangement, but above all he added a fantastic atmosphere both musically and environmentally.
For me, as the band leader, it was a wonderful feeling!!! We are going to rehearse Sunday, Monday and Tuesday also. Everything to give you an as pleasant as possible concert experience on the 26th and 27th at Lilla Wien!
So, here are two tracks from the rehearsal:
Madame Riot Lajath and Tax Vobiscum. Both composed by Magnus Ramel and arranged by Reform.

Hi there reformers!
Good news! Reform finally has agreed on a record deal with the progressive record label Transubstans Records. We feel very satisfied with that and hope that it will help our music to gain more exposure. The work continues with the new record that will hopefully be out sometime in early 2011.
Today I will present you with three more songs from the gig in Gothenburg:
Playing in the Band
China Cat Sunflower
Birds of a Feather
Very intense versions all of them.

Dear reformers!
We had a wonderful time in Gothenburg at Truckstop Alaska and we enjoyed an evening in the great spirit of Grateful Dead. Mushroom Pickers made a great interpretation and so did Den stora Vilan. We also enjoyed rehearsing and Micke Hujanen has been a great complement to the group and really glues with us musically. It is great to know so many wonderful musicians.
Here follows some tracks from the concert:

I also give you Den Stora Vilan doing a "Haight Street type" gig in Gothenburg.
Enjoy!

Fellow reformers!
I am experiencing troubles switching computers from PC to Mac. I have used Vegas for video editing and now I have to switch to Final Cut, I presume. Due to that videos from the Backstage Festival have not been published and no new audio tracks either. I have waited for a special mixer board in order to finish up all the old PC projects and it arrived today, so tomorrow I will start working.
Meanwhile I want to tell you that the work with the tribute concerts for Jerry Garcia in Gothenburg and Stockholm is in progress. We rehearsed with the basic unit yesterday and it went very well. We also played Birds of a Feather by Phish. Peter handled the vocals brilliantly! Micke Hujanen did a great work on guitar and it was a wonderful experience playing with Mattias Lennestig from Reform 1,2 and 3 again. Great to play with dedicated musicians who really put an effort in studying the songs.
Here follows Nuclear War from the Backstage Festival and Birds of a Feather by Phish:
Take care and stayed tuned for more updates!

Fellow reformers!
A lot has been going on. The plans for the Jerry Garcia celebration is in the making. Reform will play in Gothenburg on September 25 and in Stockhol on October 2.
While waiting for all the material from the rehearsals and from the Backstage Festival, which was a success, I'll give you some other things to enjoy. Among those one complete song from the soon to be released album by Berglund, Kullhammar & Bergman Trio.
To begin with I present you with a previously unreleased version of The Uncle Urri Suite.
Wasa Exprextra with Gunhild Carling from Mosebacke on July 25 2010.
Wasa Exprextra performs Mr Clean by Freddie Hubbard at Södra Teatern on June 2 2010.
Electrizoped with BKB Trio recorded on July 18 2010.
A long report from the Backstage Festival will follow when I present the first video with the Mountain Men from the event. Until then...
Take care and enjoy the music!

Hi there!
The gig at Mosebacke became a very appreciated circus act conducted by Gunhild Carling.
Tomorrow it's time for the fourth Bacsktage Festival. Anders, Peter and me have rehearsed and we are going to perform as the Mountain Men. We are going to play five songs:
It's late (Bergman, Bergman, Åkerberg)
Lady With a Fan (Grateful Dead)
Shy Away from the Higher Tension (Henningsson)
Divine (Kemppainen)
Nuclear War (Bergman, Nyhlin)
The third song is a cover from Ulf Henningsson's new album, Whatsoever, which was recorded in July.
The fourth song is written by Jukka Kemppainen. I don't know how, but it ended up with Jörgen Löf and me in the late nineties. We made a recording and then nothing further happened. A couple of days ago it surfaced when I was looking through some old stuff and when I listened to it I realized what a great song it is. Thank you Jukka Kemppainen! (Who is also a very good guitarist).
The fifth song has been with me since the early nineties. A guy named Petter Nyhlin and me used to jam together at my parents house. Petter and me made many songs and then we, unfortunately, lost contact. We saw each other once in Stockholm but the creative magic was gone. During the nineties Petter had a very good group called The Smash Hit Wonders. Hope he is ok wherever he is and whatever he is doing!
Take care!
