There are now 14 CD's of music which contains all I've ever written and more, since a CD with cover-songs also is included. Now go there and Listen your heart out!

May - 2009 - From late 2008 we've been talking about playing a concert on behalf of the DK-Prog-List's 10th anniversary. The Prog-List is discussion group on the internet, which is meant to bring together people who are interested in Progressive Rock. I've been member of this list since its start. Finally in April 2009 after som obstacles, we were able to carry out the concert. Go the the picture-secton to see pictures from the concert or watch a video in the video section.

August - 2008 - After I completed Major Arcana, I wanted to write some light music - some simple pop songs. But I soon started experimenting - not in the progressive vein. I wanted to do something completely different. So I started experimenting with Drum'n'Bass, Trance, Electronica etc. It resulted in 12 songs which are contained in the CD "In Statu Nascendi". Go to the Discography and the samples section to learn more.

March - 2008 - I've added The Great Divide to the Remix & Remaster series. The Great Divide epic itself has been added a whole new section. Go to the samples section to see and listen.

Preben Krogh 17.03.1956 - 01.09.2006

January - 2008 - I have just recieved some sad news. Preben Krogh, who played with us from 1983-85, has passed away. Actually he died in 2006, but we haven't been in contact with him since he suddenly left way back then. A Friend of his stumbled across this page and sent me an email telling the sad news. Preben's contribution to Poppsykosens music was a beautiful and sensitive song called Requiem for a Junkie. In the memory of Preben Krogh I have put his song in the listening boot. Check it out.

January - 2008 - Right after the release of "Brave New World" I started writing music. This time I did not want to just write some new songs, so I just started writing for the fun of it to see where I was going. When I had written like 20 minutes of music, I thought, however, I needed to come up with a theme, a story or.... I needed something to write about, a frame to contain this music. So I went searching for an idea.

For many years I have owned a deck of Tarot Cards (Raider Waite). The Tarot Cards are divided into two series: Major Arcana and Minor Arcana. While Minor Arcana is almost similar to normal playing cards (4 colors), Major Arcana consists of 22 unique cards. I organized the music I had written so far and connected it to some of the cards and started to write more. I also went through Tarot books for interpretations of the cards to get ideas for the lyrics. Only three of the cards are instrumental.

In between I worked on the Remix and Remaster series. I also worked with a friend to make him put vocals on the songs, but in the end he could only find time to make some test recordings. These recordings ended up as the bonustrack on the album. By the end of 2007 I decided it was time to finish the album so here it is. Go to the listening boot to hear it.

April - 2007 - The next CD in the Remix & Remaster series is ready for you to enjoy. Go to the samples section to listen and to the Discography section for more information.

March - 2007 - Finished the first CD in the Remix & Remaster series. Sinking was the first CD where I started using Cubase for both Midi and Audio. The last six songs on Sinking were recorded by using Cubase, only the first four songs was not recorded this way and thus I had to re-record guitars and vocals. Jørgen Houmann, lead singer in Poppsykosen, has put down vocals on two of the songs. Back in the 90ties, I didn't have som much space on my harddrives, so I burned a cd with the recordings. Now I've got plenty of space and the old recordings have been loaded into Cubase again (a much more recent version though) and have been treated with the newest plugins and VST-instruments. Go to the sample section to listen.

February - 2007 - Created a profile on Myspace go to www.myspace.com/poppsykosen to see. 

December - 2006  - Now follows my last album "Brave New World" in the listening booth. Right now I'm remixing the albums "The Great Divide" and "Magnum Opus" also for the listening booth - hopefully for you to enjoy - Merry Christmas!!!

November - 2006 - I've made the whole album Plane of Justice available for listening on the sample page - enjoy!

October - 2006 - I've moved Web-Hotel. Now I can have more songs in the listening booth for you to enjoy. For now I've just revamped the listening booth to contain more songs. The content will come later.

September - 2006 - I've decided to put the title track "Brave New World" from my latetst CD in the listening boot. So go there and enjoy.

July - 2006 - I've decided to be satisfied with the current mastering of Brave New World and I've added it to the Discography page. Go see the Discography page for more info. the Listening boot will also have a song from the album soon.

June - 2006 - Yes, there will be a Bonus track. The little song I wrote 25 years ago has been rearranged and recorded and mixed. It's from the period I wrote in danish and it's called Søndag det' dejligt, which means Sunday it's lovely. It's a bit quirky lyric dealing with a sunday afternoon on an old people's home.

May - 2006 - For almost a year now, I've been writing and recording new songs. The songs are of course for my next CD, which I've called "Brave New World". I've named the CD (as always) after one of the songs on it.
It was my intention to write some less complicated songs as opposed to the last CD, where I dabbled with odd meters in many of the songs. I'm afraid that the songs did not get less complicated despite that they mostly run in 4/4. Well I guess one can't win them all.....
The tracklisting goes like this.
1. Intro Psyk 2 - back in 1984 I wrote the first "Intro Psyk". It was meant to be an instrumental starter when we we're out playing. This Intro Psyk starts off the new cd.
2. Out Of My Mind - a song about the necessety of getting rid of bad thoughts.
3. Who Can Say? - is dealing with the vast Mind-Body-Spirit movement/maket in which some people, to me, seems much familiar with, perhaps too much to be reliable.
4. Brave New World - this song will be the title song of the CD. It deals with the book written by Aldous Huxley. After been reading it last summer I felt like writing a song about the story line.
5. Remember? - A song about remembering who we really are - if it's possible.
6. Lost - about getting lost in the search for the meaning of life.
7. Outro Psyk - an instrumental closing of the CD.
Bonus:
Will there be a bonus track for this CD? At the moment I'm looking into a song I wrote 25 years ago. It was an idea of making a little piece for 4-voice choir. If it turns out well - it'll be added as a bonus track.

October - 2005 - Added two songs to the listening boot. Plane of Mischief and Plane of Justice. Enjoy!

April - 2005 - I have now finished the new CD and named it Plane of Justice. Go to Discography to see details. Further more I've put a song ("Afterwards") in the listening boot and removed the old one which was an old mix - it appears on the new CD in an entirely new mix and remaster.
