"There is a definite classic rock vibe on some of the tracks... a tip of the hat to groovin', funkin' '70s rock songs, but ones we have bought into the here and now."

| Saturday, April 1, 2006 - Europe album news | An update from Europe:
"Hello everyone,
We're now getting very close to start recording our new album. We´ve decided to work yet again in good old Stockholm. The rehearsal and pre-production will take place this spring, starting in May and we're aiming to have the album recorded and mixed by July. The plan is then to have the CD ready for release in October/November.
The production will be handled by us (Europe) and it will be recorded and engineered by Pontus Nordgren, who was also our live sound engineer during the Start From The Dark Tour.
At the moment we have about 15-17 song ideas. Joey (Tempest, vocalist) is writing in London. (Guitarist John)Norum in LA. Mic (Michaeli, keyboardist) , Ian (Haugland, drummer) and (bassist Jon) Leven in Stockholm. We will probably record 12 tracks for the CD. Everything is running very smooth and there is a chance we'll meet up for one more writing session before we start the pre-production.
We have a really great feeling about the new album, and we can't wait to get started so that we can get out on the road and see you guys again.
All the best & Rock on!
Europe"
