Jeff Lynne-Armchair Theatre

A little appreciation to a record that layed its tracks on my life.

When Jeff Lynne's only solo-album came in the beginning of the 90's,it sort of came

from nowhere, it sounded like nothing else current at the time, was a look backwards

at 50s and 60s music, and was at the same time timeless and futuristic, in that it dind'nt

spind like anything else on the radio.

But this is Jeff Lynne, retro, timeless, and unique.

Awesome production, great guitarsounds, mixed up with strings,piano basses and sometimes

synths and arpeggios.....:P

Only a true genius can pull this off, in my opinion..

After that i started discovering E.L.O's songs, and i heard that these songs were fantastic aswell.

I fell in love instantly.

Great chords, great harmony-singing, beatles-esque-type of songs...

I think that the only cd-record that i have actually ruined due to playing too much,

is Armchair Theatre.:)

Me and some of my friends have actually had dedicated nights where we only

listened to Jeff Lynne, E.L.O, and the "ZOOM"-Dvd.

Not unlike a Star Trek-convention i guess...

So far,so good....

Well, as they say, so far so good!

And, thus far i haven't sold a gazillion copies worldwide, but i'm getting 99%
good comments from the people who have heard it,
and it's people of all ages, people who normally listen to all kinds of
genres otherwise, and pretty much everyone have found their own favourite
on the album,and all of the songs has it's own fan!

Goody!-Me like!:)

I'm noticing the benifits of getting not tons of money, but the surpised, happy
faces of people who like the music!-Awesome!!

I also got a mail from David Bash, from International Overthrow,and who, appearently works as a music-critic and has quite a name,who was
"most impressed", and wanted to write a review, so i sent him a copy!

Take Care,Dino.

-Yeeeeeyyyy!!

-Yeeeeeyyy!!!

Today, i finally got the call from TNT that my cd's were here!!

"I have made an album, therefore i exist"

No, but seriously, today is a good day,

but now begins the impossible(?) work to try and get people to

become aware that the album exists.

Sending around to radio-channels, and music-critics and more....kind of fun though...:)

Later, Dino.

The Record.

I guess everyone needs to have a reason to why they exist.

I guess i was wondering a little about what was mine.

I knew i was good at writing songs.

I wondered-how good?

I was getting tired of the way music sounded like on the radio.

I thought that it sounded fake, to plastic, and custom made to sound like

"the song that was on radio 2 weeks ago"

Some people have through the years told me that i have a good , personal voice.

I had thought to myself sometimes, quietly, "i`m gonna save this song for myself,

i`ll record it sometime.Later".

Just because i really could`nt think of anyone else that it would fit.

I thought about what style would i make it?

-What genre, what kind of production,arrangements?

I have always liked 70`s music best.

It seems like all the geniouses reached their peak during the 70`s.

The Beatles, Beach Boys, ABBA, Stevie Wonder, ELO, Elton John and

countless others.

I wanted to use acoustic instruments, as far as possible.

At the time i had only been using samplers and synths, trying to fake

acoustic instruments, with the result, that everything sounded plastic,

and stupid.

It did`nt really make a difference if the melody and chords were great,

it still sounded plastic.

So i decided i wanted to use guitars, and other acoustic instruments.

I wanted it to have a timeless, classic vibe.

Clean, classic pop songs.

I had already had songs realeased with "typically" commercial music,

and had pretty good success with it, and kept writing

random songs here and there in different genres,

but i thought;

- i want to write songs for an album,

with songs in different moods,-sad, happy,pushy, slow..

and still try to fit them together.

Jeff Lynne had since the beginning of the 90s, with his soloalbum, "Armchair Theatre",

been a housegod of me and my friend,

Andreas Aspeli.

I had already recorded some songs, but wasnt really happy with the result.

The production had a bit of vintage-70`s feel to them already,

but both me and Andreas thought they needed a bit of push, punch.

The whole process of writing the songs i think took me a couple of months,

recording voice and acoustic guitar onto a dictaphone,

Producing and arranging, making the songs fit together, took

( probably mostly,`cause i had a steady daytime job, working full time),

-5 years.

When it came to the recording and production process, i had`nt been recording

much at all with acoustic instruments, so it became a trial & error-process,

some songs seemed to take forever before i became satisfied.

I wanted to make it sound both personal and that people would remember the songs after they heard them,and be able to sing or hum along.

And that,my friends, is the story behind "Dino -Fool`s Gold"
