Dragon Records are proud to present this eagerly-awaited double-CD with
Steve Dobrogosz and Berit Andersson which features 33 songs, all except
one composed by Steve Dobrogosz. Several of them have never been released
before. The material as been selected from three deleted Dragon
productions: "Scary Bright", "The Final Touch" and "Jade", as well as
"Skin Balloon" produced by Sand Castle Music. Music critic Lennart
Blomberg writing in G÷teborgs Posten exclaimed: "Steve Dobrogosz is a
genuine 'songwriter'. If he had lived in an earlier era I am convinced
that he would have been as famous a composer as Gershwin, Kern, Porter
etc." All the song lyrics are printed in the booklet and among the
musicians taking part are Putte Wickman, Joakim Milder, Anders Jormin,
Mats Ronander and Alex Riel. Almost two and a half hours of wonderful
music. Balsam for the soul!
