The album was mixed by Pelle Saether at Studio Underground in Västerås and will be released by Grooveyard Records on November 24 (Janne's birthday). A web site will also be launched at www.mountainofpower.com. In the meantime, you can hear four song samples at the project's official http://www.myspace.com/mountainofpower.

The current album "L.A Concession" was actually released in 2000 as a strictly limited "private pressing" on CD-R only. when this album appeared on eBay, prices usually ranged around 150.00 €. Finally, this extraordinary production finds its way into the record stores and mail orders as an official release. The CD now includes 4 previously unreleased bonus tracks, a new full colour booklet with lyrics which make this great fully remastered album even more attractive for all AOR / Westcoast and melodic rock fans!

This is the 6th album that Tommy has worked on with Frederic and he has again produced several songs and plays guitars and keyboards as well.
