Album:
Singer/songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Patrik Linman has been part of the Finnish music scene since the early 80s – starting as singer in the band Action. While a lot of his work is in writing, producing and behind the scenes, his debut album - Linman ‘Heaven Calls’ made a strong mark on the scene when released back in 1992. Due to a limited pressing it has since become a much sought-after collector’s item, fetching big prices each time a copy surfaced.Now thanks to Patrik and producer Clas Holm, Linman ‘Heaven Calls’ is getting a full makeover.The album has been remastered by Clas, giving the songs more punch than the original recordings.As a special bonus, the first 500 units will come with a second disc of unreleased demos and recordings made by Patrik across the years, 2002-2016. The style of these songs matches the melodic rock brilliance of the album.JK Northrup has jumped in to remaster these new gems.New Artwork from Arnaud Leger updates the cover and contents.Patrick Linman started his musical path by being a bass player and singer in Finnish rock band Action in the early 80´s.
