     In support of their debut album " FUTURE PAST, " ( Which was voted the ALBUM OF THE YEAR, in SWEDISH ROCK MAGAZINE, ) HASSE FROBERG & THE MUSICIAL COMPANION is gearing up for an exciting EUROPEAN TOUR, with the incentive that a NEW CD is…

We did it!!! We hit number 1 on prog album sales on CDbaby AND Ninestonesclose are in the top 10 at the same time. Awesome or what?…

The new album Northumbria is finally nearing completion. Still some work to do but I expect by spring to have it in release. I've posted two tracks from it, the full version of "Northumbria" and "Sounds Good." I'll probably tweak them a bit more before the final album versions, but they are quite close.

Been busy with this and a Tarkus-sized tankload of soundtrack work but I'm soon ready to focus on socializing with the great community on this board and have been…

Dear friends, The first reviews of our brand new MELOTRONICAL are here:

"Each track off of Melotronical is exceptional with perfect craftsmanship that envelopes the listener to hunger for more. The one thing that i feel strongly…

So, the burning question is "How do you get to play gigs in Europe" (please don't say Practise!).

Many promoters are simply not even bothered to speak to you unless you have played there before. Catch 22? Times are tough!

Cheers,…

We have finished recording our our follow up CD to ...Out There and we are now in the mixing stages we hope to have the album ready for release by spring. We have also started working on the artwork and a preview video for our upcoming release.



We can tell you this much the new album is called Contrast, we think the new album is tighter and stronger then our solo effort ...Out There but we will let you be the judge of that.

peace and love…
