Linn & Freddie - Waiting For Spring
(promo CD/LP/Digital) Homegrown HGCD003, 2009-06-26
Linn & Freddie first met each other in the studio back in 1998. Later Linn sang on the track On My Way on Freddie's EP Moving Amongst The Madness (Swedish Brandy 2003). They became good friends and kept on working together in the studio off and on simply because they enjoyed it so much. The collaboration reuslted in the four track EP Wonderlust (Swedish Brandy 2004) and after that two songs on Freddie Cruger's album Soul Search (Jugglin'/Ubiquity/Tru Thoughts 2006). Now it's time for the Linn & Freddie album Waiting For Spring. All songs are written, arranged, produced and mixed by the two of them and was made out of pure love for good music.

Various - Shapes 09:01
(2xCD/Double vinyl with Double CD) Tru Thoughts TRUCD194/TRULP194, 2009-06-08
Tru Thoughts' first Shapes compilation of 2009 is a rather massive 29 track double CD collection, featuring a selection of current highlights, remixes and exclusive tracks from acts including Quantic and his Combo Bárbaro, Bonobo, Belleruche, The Bamboos, Nostalgia 77 Sessions featuring Keith and Julie Tippett, Kinny, Stonephace and all the excellent artists currently signed to the roster, of which there are far too many to mention in one coherent sentence. Suffice to say, over the two discs - arranged into 'home listening' and 'DJ' modes - there is plenty of great music for your ears and dancefloors, from minimal soul through downtempo beats and lush jazzy vocal tracks to floor-filling basslines.

Elsewhere there's stunning music out of Canada from Alister Johnson, Scrimshire on the bossa tip for his mix of PTH, dance floor funk from Jamie Finlay and Lack Of Afro (remixing Middlewood Sessions), brand new Colman Brothers latin jazz heat, and a killer jungle workout of "Step Forward" courtesy of the mysterious Chief!!

Don't know what happened to this, if it ever will be released or not... Here's what Freddie was saying about it on MySpace:
Freddie Cruger feat Linn "Pretty Little Thing" will be released on a 12" inch from Tru Thoughts in march-april incl. remix by Karizma, also with instr and acapella versions. Incl. I will also add a unreleased bonus track as a treat.
Me and Linn are putting togheter an album witch we hope to be finished with in april-may and it will probably be released by Tru Thoughts later this year. I am also working on some songs with very talented Donn Thompson out of Philly, we are planing to release a 12" ep in 2007. I also hope to make some new songs with Athony David that last time he came to town went home with about 20 beats of mine to write to, he is crazy talented to, i feel blessed having the opportunity to work with this people. I am also will be doing some dj gigs this spring, where you can find in my calender on my page. I hope you will be on the look out for this forthcoming releases, and with that i want to wish you all the best in 2007!
Peace, love and togetherness
