A Dan Swanö Project- I NEED YOUR HELP! Yes, YOURS!

[Jim LotFP]

'allo...

One thing that was said earlier, I agree with...

Dan's website needs a comprehensive list of everything he's performed on, and EVERYTHING HE HAS PRODUCED.

In chronological order!

YOUR job, is when you come across a CD that has Dan Swanö's name on it ANYWHERE as far as production or performance, post it here. Name the artist, title, and WHEN IT WAS RECORDED... that info is often in the CD... for example, this Novembre CD I'm looking at, Arte Novecento, was recorded in Unisound in February 96.

I'll keep track of the database...

My goal is to have a comprehensive history of Swanö and Unisound that can be archived somewhere for reference.

Help from Dan would be appreciated too.

 

[Skaldir]

Yeah, we could do it.
I can't really remember, but I think Dan had that kind of list sometime in the past.

But I think we could share work. I offer myself to do a list from his Unicorn-stuff first.
Someone else can do a list of EOS or Nightingale. Which he's mostly fan of. Then it gets faster.
I'll be back later with me Unicornlist.

And I found a mistake. Tonight's Decision isn't recorded at Unisound. It's recorded in Sunlight Studios 1999 02-04

 

[Skaldir]

Some information on the missing ones. Jim, you should make it chronoligical, otherwise it turns to chaos. ;-)

Edge of Sanity Unorthodox 1992

Infestdead Jesusatan 1998 12 - 1999 01 Moneymaker Studios, Örebro

 

[Jim LotFP]

... I have all of this information in Excel, actually, so I can sort it any which way I like, so the problem is going to be presenting it, not recording it neatly.

 

[Jim LotFP]

And just a note, I'm looking for the year/month that something was recorded, not released.

Thanks...

[Skaldir]

I've heard that Dan has a guestbook in which every band he recorded has to write something in.
That would be a good help. But sadly, Dan has such a lack of time.

 

[wardwarf]

Hmm.. I noticed a few that you didn't have there:

Proboscis Stalemate March 1995 Unisound

Ghostorm Frozen in Fire October 1994 Unisound
(Dan did backing vocals on track 1 "Fraud of Dark" as well)

[Skaldir]

There are two Nightingale songs missing. The cover songs.

Nightingale "Return to Fantasy" (Uriah Heep) from CD "A Black Mark tribute" 1997

Nightingale "C'est la vie" (Greg Lake) from CD "A Black Mark tribute Vol. II" 1998

Both songs are really good, by the way!!!
