MIKE GARSON and STRASSE

The oustanding, Jazz/Avant garde pianist, Mike Garson worked on Strasse song Crashing (2009). Garson best known for his work with David Bowie and Nine Inch Nails. How did the collaboration with Wonder-Mike happen? Strasse fans contacted Garson with the wild idea of him co-labbing with Strasse.
”He (Garson) had heard some of our earlier songs and seemed to like them. Specially the instrumental ones", says singer, Ryden with a grin. Contact was made with Garson. Unfortunately, the Strasse album, Transylvanian Flower (2004) was just about to be released, so there was no time to let Mike in. New songs for the Half Past Animal album was sent to Garson; “Cool vibe, I’d love to play on it”, Garson replied. And so he did. Crashing, available at: Itunes, Amazon, Cdbaby.
