I'm Always Thinking Of You - MLTR

n 2008 its been twenty years since MLTR played their first live-concert. The band celebrate their anniversary by releasing their seventh studio-album. The album is titled Eternity maybe a good indication that the band plan to make music for as long as they still find joy in the process.

The many classics from MLTR are still heavily rotated on the Danish radio stations. Hardly ever does a day go by without DR P4 (Denmarks largest radio channel) playing one or more MLTR tunes. This qualify MLTR as one of the absolut greatest popmakers. Their writing talent is still used in on Eternity, which adds potential smash-hits such as When Tomorrow Comes (first single) and Sweet Surprise, to the already great hit-material.

With a global recordsale of nearly 10 million copies since the debutalbum in 1991, the story of MLTR is not only a story of the greatest international act ever to come out of Denmark, but also a story of an exception among artists! Opposite many other international acts MLTRs way to success has never been about scandals, divorce, drugs or an extreme way of living. Its always been about music! About an incredible gift to write great pop songs and about being able to get through to their audience securing the band a rising fan crowd as well as record sales.

MLTRs music has been described as the Scandinavian light meeting the classic international popsong. Refined through the years by great artists such as The Beatles, Eagles, Elton John and Billy Joel.

It all began in 1987 at a high-school in Aarhus. Singer and keyboardplayer JASCHA RICHTER (born 1963) drummer KÅRE WANSCHER (born 1969) and guitarist MIKKEL LENTZ (born 1968) form a small café-band. All three are great music lovers and they decide to form a more serious band using the songs Jacsha Richter has composed. In the Spring of 88 SØREN MADSEN (born 1967) who is a guitarist agrees to join the band as a bass-player for a single rehearsal night. He stays on and MLTR is a reality. The group have their debut in Aarhus in May 1988 and later the same year they compete in a big talent competition in Aarhus. MLTR win and find their new manager among the judge panel. Mr. JP ANDERSEN sees great talent in the young quartet.

The next two years the band tour intensely. They perform everywhere in Denmark and keep developing their repertoire, their work on music and their vocal harmonies which are an important element in the groups sound. And they get the record deal, they so badly wished for. MLTR spend the next months in the studio recording with the Danish producers Jens Hofman and Oli Poulsen and in September 1991 they release their debutalbum MICHAEL LEARNS TO ROCK. THE ACTOR is one of the songs on the album and this great ballad plays an important part getting the album to the top of the Danish charts in January 1992 where the record goes number 1. The song travels faster than the band and goes number one on the charts in Norway, Sweden, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore and The Philippines . In 1992 MLTR tour intensively in Denmark they are the new big hit in their homeland and they visit several countries in the far east. Along the way Jascha Richter writes the songs to the second album COLOURS which already is released in October 1993.

Once again the bands unique sence for the great ballad secure the success. SLEEPING CHILD really kicks off the MLTR-mania. The next 18 months are spend touring most of the world and the record sells more than 1 million copies. COLOURS is released in most of Europe and in the far east. SLEEPING CHILD and the next two singles 25MINUTES and OUT OF THE BLUE go to the top of the charts and the band receive many gold and platinum albums. In Thailand the crowd goes mad when the band in November arrives to Bangkok. MLTR play a show for 12.000 fans at The Phoebus Concert Hall. As the perfect ending to a perfect year MLTR receive the prestigious RSH Award in Germany and are honoured The Best Performing Act of the Year at the SEA Grammy Award in Singapore.
