Oh dear,the dreaded 10th anniversary is looming.

Ten years. Still so good to listen.

That also means we're ten years older?

That also means we're ten years older?

....and it also means that we've managed to survive the last ten years.

Funnily enough, Parliament Square came up on my iPod during the 10th anniversary. Must be 5 years since we met up there!

I don't expect to hear any more music from Stina now, which is a crying shame. But I'd love to hear all the half-finished things she did for 'Coming soon', the soundtrack for 'Tarantula', and any of the other stuff around the time of the release of TWIS-which, remember, was mostly made a couple of years pre-release.

And I'd love to know what it is she's doing now in any arts field, because I bet it's interesting if nothing else.

[RobB]

I've wondered if perhaps Stina has returned to teaching?

But whatever she's doing now,it must be very low-profile as nothing seems to be making it out on to the internet,which for any 'named person' is quite difficult to achieve unless they are working at home in complete isolation.

Of course, she could easily be working under a different name?

I do think we'll still have a new album from Stina in the future. She's still only 45 and quite a few artists these days can go ten years plus between albums.

Btw, our London get-together was on Saturday 10th April 2010, so not quite yet five years.

Good point here. Let's hope it will be the case for our beloved Stina.

[RobB]

.........and the 11th anniversary has been and gone without any news of a new album.

Am I downhearted?

[sound world]

Um...it's so long ago I've forgotten what it's the anniversary of?

[RobB]

I'm hanging onto the hope that there still will be cds around if we ever get a new album.

Its ironic that the last song on the last album was 'The End Of A Love Affair'.....with making music presumably?

[RobB]

Another 10th anniversary......this time it will have been 10 years this month since the release of Filur's 'Into The Wasteland', the title track of which features Stina's most 'recent' (sic) recorded contribution. (I'm excluding the various odds and ends done for the soundtracks of radio plays,installations etc).

Wow......Abba finally got together again last night and performed live for the first time in 30 years.

Who knows, we might finally have a new Stina album released this year after all?

[RobB]

Oop's.....just realised that I've missed the dreaded 12th anniversary.
