Besides
Besides is the collection of my b-sides. And that’s about it. My b-sides has been my playground, my experiments with different styles, what cover-experiments became and the home of songs that didn’t suit on any album. Many of the b-sides are quite jokular or has certain witty points. Anyway, collecting them on one album seemed a good idea, and to release them at the same time as the singles collection “Single-Minded” was logical. So the songs on Besides are the b-sides of the songs on Single-Minded.
This collection is a very exciting collage of styles, ideas, covers and alternative songs. I think that if you’re about to do a cover you should either have a new and different idea about how to perform or arrange it, or you should do it much better than the original. I have tried to make my covers as I have done with my own songs, and in many cases I have succeeded to do an alternative version. This is the musical idea, and the rules for the playground that b-side-making is for me.
