	>	norsk newspaper 'aftenbladet' published an article about Nils Petter's solo tour & the upcoming album. fabulous Anne made a rough summary for us non-norwegians (with question marks....about the content): "it says that this Remakes album is Molvaer himself who is remixing stuff of other people (Frost and Sidebrok and others). It's not people who will remix _one more time_ the stuff of Molvær. (This album is coming out in February.) So it seems that the discussion in the forum was based on a misunderstanding... THEN in fall 2005, Molvaer will release a new solo album with new compositions and he's also working on the sound track of this french movie "requiem"
