comment...: |
TWICE A MAN planted the seed for "The Coloured Breeze Is a New
Dimension" with the song 'Dahlia', a 'new' track that was written to
complement the compilation album "Songs of Future Memories". For three
years, the Swedish dark electronic trio fertilised and nurtured the germ
bud until it had taken firm root in their musical heritage and began to
send offshoots to find new sonic spots beyond any previously built
garden walls. "The Coloured Breeze Is a New Dimension" is an organic
entity that creates something new by re-combining its musical DNA in
various ways. As a result its tracks blossom in many hues of electronic
colours. TWICE A MAN have always been pioneers. They spearheaded
electronic music in their native Sweden. Long before it was fashionable,
the Swedes positioned themselves as environmentalists. Musically, they
have been lovingly described as "Ultravox on weed – also melancholic but
without the saccharine pathos" or "like a sad Gary Numan, but with a
warm, organic touch". There are also gentle echoes of TANGERINE DREAM,
KLAUS SCHULZE, and THE HUMAN LEAGUE among many other possible
references. When singer, guitarist, and keyboarder Dan Söderqvist teamed
up with synth player Karl Gasleben in 1977, the duo formed COSMIC
OVERDOSE as the first electronic band in Scandinavia, which grew into
TWICE A MAN. During their remarkable career, the Swedes released a
multitude of full-length albums that include special projects and two
compilations. They also played countless shows, and went on to create a
soundtrack for 7 full-evening theatre performances at The Royal Dramatic
Theatre in Stockholm, music for movies, exhibitions, dance performances,
and computer games. The natural world remains as a strong presence in
the lyrics and sound of "The Coloured Breeze Is a New Dimension". It is
the musical equivalent of TWICE A MAN seeking comfort by allowing their
minds to wander into nature, art, and towards friends and books to get
away at least for some time from modern evils.

Twice a Man are an electronic music group based in Gothenburg, Sweden,
comprising members Dan Söderqvist and Karl Gasleben (born Ingemar
Ljungström). Dan and Karl met in Gothenburg during the early 1970s when
they played in groups Älgarnas Trädgård and Anna Själv Tredje. The duo
was formed in 1978 as Cosmic Overdose. After changing their name to
their current title in 1981, Twice a Man released their first album,
Music for Girls, in 1982. <a
