TOMAS FORSSELL – Nya tider (Avanti, 1980)

Swedish vocals
International relevance: **
 
Tomas Forssell's second album kicks off with the excellent ”Snålblåst” – a 'listen up!” after his so-so debut album ”Ingenting står stilla”. ”Nya tider” can't quite live up to its initial promise but it's a better album than the previous one, with better songs and more vital performances. It almost sounds like a lost Nynningen album, only less dogmatic. No wonder – Forssell was a member of said band, as were Bernt Andersson, Nikke Ström and Torsten ”Totta” Näslund, all present on ”Nya tider”.

The album was recorded in 1979, except ”Snart ska en morgon gry” that was recorded in April 1977 – probably an outtake from ”Ingenting står stilla”.
