Notes
This is the special edition made for Japan of the Mats/Morgan band's seventh album. In addition to the regular CD, there is a 2nd CDEP included that is about 22' long of material from Morgan's archive of live and studio work, all mixed together to flow as one long track. I can't say that I personally consider it essential the way the 'real' album is, but there were only 330 copies made world-wide, and we have only 30 to sell! [Cuneiform]

==============================================================

Mats Oberg (keyboards) and Morgan Agren (drums) first began playing together 25 years ago (!!) when Mats was 11 and Morgan was 15. Originally very influenced by Frank Zappa, they actually played with Zappa in 1988, but while some of the Zappa influence remains, they have long since found their own voices. In the mid 90's, they began releasing CDs on Morgan's UAE label, eventually forming a stable band, which has been amazing audiences in Europe and the USA since 2001, and which consists of Mats and Robert Elovsson-keyboards, Jimmy Agren-guitar, Tommy Thordsson-bass and Morgan-drums. All players with superb playing ability, the quintet plays as a well-honed, cohesive unit, with more developed compositions than in earlier works, showing the band arriving at its own voice in progressive jazz/rock, with a modern-sounding blend of complexity, composition, chops and beats. Thanks For Flying With Us is their seventh album, their first release outside of Sweden and their first studio work since 1997. This is a great album by an absolutely monster band who await the world's discovery!

"Remarkable technical expertise and playing skills"-Bill Bruford
"They played unbelievable, just unbelievable."-Frank Zappa
"Absolutely unbelievable, they drove me right out of my mind, it was so good. Buy their albums."-Mike Keneally. [Cuneiform]
