Roxette
Travelling

This is an album with songs, demos and live performances that didn't make the "Charm School" album! Very good songs and interesting live arrangements!! These Swedish guys never disappoint their fans!!

Following the trend set since their previous album (Charm School), Travelling reflects the new Roxette sound: more improvisation, less production. The sparkling, and slightly overproduced, sound of the early Roxette albums is missing here, and Trevelling is closer to the 60s than to the 80s. Less synths and distorted guitars mean more drums, acoustic guitars, flutes, saxes and even an autoharp! Even if it was conceived as the follow-up to the successful Tourism (1992), the live tracks on Travelling are just a minor detail as we can say this is mostly a studio album. Most of the material here is superior than Charm Shool, in my opinion.
