Odyssey - Re-Inventing The Past CD

Dan Swano should need no introduction. As one of the cornerstones of the Swedish Metal scene, he has performed on over 30 different albums with bands as Edge of Sanity, Bloodbath and Nightingale. Swano also performs a wide range of instruments: vocals, drums, guitars and keyboards. And of course he is well known for his production jobs (Dissection, Opeth, Katatonia, Dark Funeral etc.).
On the Odyssey album Dan makes an old dream of him come true, covering his all times favourite songs. On this album "Reinventing The Past" Dan covers track of Rainbow (Eyes of The World), Sandra (In the Heath of The Night), Depeche Mode (Shake The Disease), Uriah Heep (Gypsy), Candlemass (At The Gallows End), M.S.G. (Lost Horizons) and U.F.O. (Cherry).
All instruments are performed by Dan Swand of course he did the entire production at Unisound Studio, Orebro, Sweden. Guest lead guitars by Dag Swano (Dan's brother and also in Nightingale) and Omnium Gatherum guitarist Markus Vanhala amongst others. Bonus to the album is the Odyssey mini CD from 1999. Odyssey back then was Dan Swanl vocals, drums and keyboards, Rick Gustafson (ex-Memory Garden) and Kenth Philipsson (The Project Hate) both on guitar. The EP has long been out of print and is a much-sought-after collector's item. Swan-mastered the original tracks and according to the master himself, it sounds like its completely remixed. All artwork (cover and booklet) is made by Ivan S. Bragin (October Tide, The Gathering, Hearse).
