Umm..has anyone got past the front page? if so,how? Or is it really an April Fool? (Gullible Dave here :I
Interesting effect on my Mac which I only get with Expos? (which you MS folks wont have) which is the magic circle shows up when you run the cursor over it.But maybe that's obvious on Windows.

I managed to get past the first page indeed. I browse with Mozilla in which the site works fine.

The site looks great daniel and the song catalogue is very nice. Now for a pictures section; that would be a great addition! ;)
the website seems a bit small though in size; could you not make it a little wider, i think most people at least use 1024x768 screen size... I like to see the page a bit larger ;)

but a very good job Daniel!

Yes,have checked this on a couple of computers now.Works on Explorer and Mozilla but NOT on Safari (Mac OSX native browser)-all you get is the old message about the webcard.Can you remedy this Daniel?
BTW looks very promising.I wish you luck getting all the lyrics,I think you need access to the horses' mouth for some of them. [:o]

Just had a deeper look.
Your comments re the albums are spot-on,Daniel! Really apposite! I think you have a future as a writer,never mind as a web-designer! What you say about 'Dynamite',for example,really catches the essence of that album,similarly 'This is'.
I'm looking forward to your thoughts on ASCHE,my all-time favourite album!
and MOAC of course.
(One tiny quibble-your English is fantastic except that 'its' (in the possessive sense,eg ' its mood is black') has no apostrophe.A good rule of thumb is that an apostrophe often designates a missing letter,so 'it's Tuesday'='it is Tuesday' whereas 'it is mood is black' makes no sense.Plenty of us English get this wrong all the time.) :)

Hello. I've been laying low for a week or so about the website. Just to await some reactions. Thankyou all. I will work on the website today and during this week to complete it.

BIG THANKYOU TO ALL OF YOU!!!

I don't know for sure why some people don't seem to get past the old interim site. I think it is that you have to clean your cach? so that your computer recognizes the new index-file. Usually you do it by entering the site and pressing the F5 key.

<b>sound world</b>: thankyou thankyou thankyou thankyou ... that is the nicest thing to hear since it was just in that department I was the most unsure. You know what? Funny thing: I'm perfectly aware of the difference between "it's" and i"its". However, I need to work on my brain - typing finger communication. Thankyou so much for pointing it out. I thought I had corrected all of them.

<b>kuhn</b> & <b>Paul</b>: Thanks for the help with the songlist. I have searched far and wide for all of Stina's song. I obviously missed some. Could you please tell me in which releases the songs were featured.

Little Star (Steve B-Zet Edit)
People Are Strange (U.N.K.L.E. Radio Edit)
Untitled (And She Closed Her Eyes Demo song)
Common Miracle
Sov Du Lilla Videung
The Miracle
We're In This Together

I'm particularly curious about "Sov Du Lilla Videung" ... I sang it manytimes when I was in pre-school. Very cute song, and now that I think of it, very appropriate for Stina.
I won't list radio appearances though. The idea with the songlist is to catalogue her recorded work. If I were to consider radio live appearances I would have to feature a lot of different stuff... in the beginning of her career she did do a lot of radio stuff in sweden. Still aired regularly I think.

_____________________

Now, these are some things I need a little help with.

<b>{1}</b> It would be nice to have the lyrics for all the rarities. Maybe someone who managed to score one of the rare releases could have a try at typing out the lyrics? The songs are:

First Day In Spring
Greetings from the Old World
The Thing About Fire
Walking Too Fast

I have given Failing To Fly a try but some words escape me... are the lyrics featured in the booklet of the japanese edition?

Failing to fly is what I do
I'm doing fine
???
Failing to lie is what I do
Can't help being true

Failing to die for one more day
Failing to give ???
I guess I'm used to breathing out,
to laughing out loud

Failing to trade my soul for the keys
Faling to trust authorities
And without ??? no way they see you
But I'm not on my knees

Failing to melt in with the rest
I never passed a normality test
I'm not alone
My failures in life
I like that the best

<b>{2}</b> Also - I could really use a mail-adress to V2 or Stina's management or something to present the site to them and put it up for consideration for stinanordenstam.com, of course it will depend on them if they really want an outlet and if they're ready to feed news and more official material to the fans. I think it was <b>wirbel</b> or <b>pgss</b> or both that made contact with them at some point. You could sent me a Private Message here on the forum or an e-mail to daniel.ocampo.daza@gmail.com

Thankyou very much again. I will be working on reviews for ASCHE and MOAC plus a little biography today.

// Daniel

'Untitled' sounds to me far more like something left over from the Laswell/Fier sessions that produced "The Photographer's Wife".The instrumentation and style give it away...
There's also the songs broadcast by CQD from the Skeppsholmen gig roughly contemporaneous with Fasching-another version of 'Why don't we...',another of 'Miracle' and three others from MOAC.
Will Stina ever deign to sort out these discographic mysteries?
And as for the lyrics...I defy anyone to really get 'Slow Piece'(collab. with Vangelis) for example.
We had a good crack at 'Common Miracle' at CQD... :arrow:
