I was hoping for Tobias Lindell again. His production on LLAE, SRF2013 DVD and all the other stuff he has done for the band, have been just great  According to Ian's reply to me a few days ago, the band will make some press release or facebook statement about the studio and producer, and since they're only a few days away from starting recording, it must be one of these days I agree. I also loved Mr. Lindell's work on LLAE. Beside the quality of the songs, that was very high I think, his contribution has brought it to an higher level. I was delighted with the orchestral arrangement which was, for what I can remember, his idea. And the overall production is probably my favourite in the second stage. But I also think that one key to success is to confront with as many professionals as possible. So far it has worked very well. |

Hallo michaelj, ent and everybody. Joey Always follows his favourite artists and this time of course they`ve picked Dave Cobb to be the producer.. (see Rival Sons). Just like last time when he was in for Kevin Shirley. Wait and see for yourself. Take care CL

// Europe
EUROPE SIGNS WITH UDR RECORDS German-based label delighted to announce signing of Swedish rock legends Swedish rock group Europe have signed with UDR Records for the release of their as-yet-untitled forthcoming album in early March 2015. The recording commences this month in Stockholm. Europe’s front man Joey Tempest “We’re really excited to be working with the people at UDR. A very credible label and I am impressed with their work building a future and a solid foundation for their Artists” UDR President/owner Ulrike Rudolph expressed her delight in capturing the band for the label. “We are always looking to expand the label’s stable of bands with quality, not quantity, and Europe represent the finest in supremely written hard rock music,” said Rudolph. “They are a group who refuse to rest on their past and continue to grow as artists and musicians, so we are absolutely delighted they have come to us.” Production on the new material will be handled by Dave Cobb (Rival Sons). “He is one of few producers out there who is saving rock ‘n’ roll,” said Joey Tempest, “when we first heard Pressure and Time by Rival Sons, we just went ‘who the hell produced this stuff? It’s got tons of heart and soul, it’s cocky, it’s got that swagger, it’s alive and real.’ That’s the journey we’re on with Europe, trying to dig deeper to find more soulful expressions and play straight from the core! So we’re extremely excited to bring this guy into our team.” The multi-platinum, 20-million-plus selling quintet, recorded 1986’s smash-hit The Final Countdown and toured the World playing sold-out concerts while cementing their place as one of the biggest rock bands of the ‘80s. After re-grouping in 2004 with the ‘classic’ line-up, the band continued their success into the 21st century with Classic Rock Magazine stating upon the release of their last album in 2012, ‘Europe are one of the greatest rock bands on the planet right now.’ In 2015, Europe will once again take to the road as they begin a UK/Ireland tour in Dublin on March 2nd (their first visit to Ireland in 25 years). More dates to co-incide with the albums cycle will be announced shortly including territories the band has not visited in some time. |

So, new prducer is Dave Cobb (Rival Sons)
New label is UDR Music (Saxon, Alice Cooper)
To be honest, Don't know anything about them...
But They are NEW in EUROPE career: which means that, once again, EUROPE decided to surprise us !
It's something I like with this band : they never sleep on their laurels ; always reinvent themselves. It requires a lot of courage and creativity !

It requires a lot of courage and creativity ! What is surprising, too, is that it seems they are going extremely fast for the recording of "EUROPE TEN". From what Ian is saying, it looks like they are recording several songs in the same day... As far as I remember correctly, for BOB recording it was not so quick : only one song a day, wasn't it  |

Here is what he wrote few minutes ago on his FB page: "We finished recording the basic tracks for the album yesterday! Now we're focusing on overdubs, solos and vocals. Maaaan this album will kick your ass, i know cause my ass is all sore!" If the guys could only imagine how good it works to involve us fans in this way, letting us feel closer to them, they would probably update sites, and blogs, and twitter etc. more, more frequently....  |
