Per’s comment on re-releases.

The reason why EMI is re-releasing and re-mastering all the Rox albums is because they are out of print in some territories. Also, the sound was not up to date. Some albums are really old, folks! So… it’s not EMI’s intention (or Roxette’s for that matter) to make these albums “collector items” or fill them with demos and unreleased stuff. We’ll find other ways to do that, trust me.

Cheers, P.

“Antichrist” creator listens to Roxette

Have you ever seen “Dogville” with Nicole Kidman, “Dancer in the dark” with Björk or the latest controversial film “Antichrist”? They were all directed by Lars von Trier, an Academy Award-nominated Danish film director and screenwriter. He is closely associated with the Dogme 95 collective, although his own films have taken a variety of different approaches. And why do we post it here? In one of the latest inteviews he said he listened to Roxette while working. Marie Fredriksson & Per Gessle as the sources of inspirations?
