Classic Rock Magazine: AOR

Classic Rock (presents) AOR #9 feature an ALIEN interview,
talking about the upcoming Firefest (10th annviversary show)
performance... and of course the new album in the making.

Also, Ken is on the (15 track) CD sampler "AOR: Supersonic",
coming with the magazine - in Chasing Violets "Deception In
Heaven" (of the Jade Hearts album).

Keyboards... check!

Last two weeks have seen the Alien production come alive
with Jimmy's mighty keyboard arrangements!

Although the lion's share of the sounds for the album are
created, uniquely by Jimmy, with modern technology -
we enjoyed blending a few vintage keys in the production.

Although mainly based on the Wandroph signature Alien
type sounds... there'll even be some B3 organ, Stanway
grand, Rhodes etc. in there (if you listen closely). ;)

Studio diary: Bohus Sound peek

Work in progress!

Alien finally started recording the new album last weekend.
Drums were cut at Bohus Sound Studios Aug 1st-3rd.

Toby did an awsome job, so did Bohus Sound drum tech/
in-house engineer Stefan Karlsson. Great fun!!

Alien 80's Artwork

For the first four 7" singles, as well as the
Scandinavian version of the debut album,
we chose airbrush pieces by Gothenburg
artist Anders Holmberg for cover artwork.

Here are some Polaroids of the originals :)
'Only One Woman' was made /w our logo in
the actual paintings!

Ken Sandin /w Graham Bonnet

Ken performing the epic "Only One Woman" with
original singer Graham Bonnet (Vienna, April 2013).

The Gibb brothers penned song became a hit and the break-
through for Graham (the Marbles) in 1968.
Same song did the same thing for Ken, in 1988.
Now, two further decades have passed... still epic!!

"Got me some cool stories on the origin of the song!" //Ken
