Warm hearted thanks to my dear friend and the great producer
Alex Perez Camacho (X-Gene).

This album would simply not be possible for me to make
without your brilliant mind, and your very hard, dedicated work.
You. Are. The. Best!


Very, very special thanks to:
Morgan, Steve, Mattias & Kai, for your incredible playing
and your great contributions to this album.
I’m lost for words – really.
Just ...
thank you so very much, guys!


Many thanks to:
Thesz Andersson, the Perez Camacho family,
Kristian Lampila, Rob Hakemo, Tony Jelencovich, Svein Jensen, Sandarna Transporter, Simon Strand, Jörgen Lohengrin Cremonese,
the admin. guys in The-Unreal-Allan-Holdsworth group.

And finally, thanks to:
all my friends and my family who have supported, inspired and encouraged me through my good times and my bad times.
So many of you - but you know how you are.
