Just found this (note to self: be more observant on the forum). Well done yet again, Tone and Terrë !! I'm happily floored they are considering a double cd for their next release (yay!!). The Musta Jää soundtrack is wonderful, so to have an entire disc with their slower, moodier classical sounds would be great. And they sounded pretty definitive about staying as a trio and not "training" a new cellist to join the band, so that puts an end to that speculation. I was a little surprised that they will continue to use vocalists on the albums and live (how do the European fans feel about that?) I guess if they're happy at the way things have worked out with their singers on this tour, that's all that matters (some of them have been quite good).
I know a particular contentious point in the interview seems to have been resolved, however, I would just like to send a friendly reminder to people to extend the same courtesy to Eicca (and the others) as you do to fellow forumers for whom English is not their first language. Lots of times someone will have a hard time with a particular word or expression to try to explain what they want to say, and we give them the benefit of the doubt by trying to understand the gist of what they are saying and not assume the worst possible meaning. Sometimes we can be too polically correct and find fault where there shouldn't be any. For anyone who has had problems with things he has said, please think of Eicca kindly. He deserves no less. Thanks
