Confident music is proud to present a comprehensive collection of classic Swedish Opera of the finest variety in the form of a 3 CD / CD-ROM album featuring the music of Gunnar Wennerberg.

Debut album "Tankarna" Possibly a candidate for "most time taken to complete a recording". The album began in a small project studio in our spare time. After several interruptions, name and member changes, and losses of creative impulse, the project found it's way to Confident Music's recording studio where it finally came to life. Now with the expert help of Jan Hellman, the production skills of Erik Bernholm and the support of many good friends, is the album complete!

The Attlerud Band would like to thank the following people for their invaluable contributions: Nana, Mia, Tina, Lisa, Noemi, Magnus, Nils, Roger, Mats...... And many more! Sound samples from “Tankarna”.
