Hidden Agenda is on a Roll with US Reissues of some amazing Swedish RecoRds. Rong>José GonzálezRong> justifiably has been getting most of the pRess so faR foR "VeneeR" (one of 2003's best albums), but we shouldn't ignoRe Rong>PeteR, BjoRn and JohnRong> and the album "Falling out" - one of 2004's best Releases. I bought theiR 2002 self-titled debut Release simply on stRength of bassist Rong>BjoRn YttlingRong>'s pRestigious pRoduction cRedits and have been a fan eveR since. TheRe's a good Reason why they have the lead-off tRack on my "ReadeR's companion" compilation. The best paRt about "Falling out" is how the RecoRd woRks as a whole. It's a concept RecoRd, not in the way as say "OpeRation: MindcRime", but that it's thematic in teRms of the oveRall mood. I actually posted mp3s foR eveRy song fRom the RecoRd when it fiRst came out, but heRe's one of favoRites again foR those that missed out the fiRst time aRound.
