Baxter are, like so many good bands these days like Jay Jay Johanson or Krom, from Sweden. They are combining drum n' bass loops and Nina Ramsby's hypnotic strong - to melancholly softly voice to a new, addicting sound. In 1996, Ricky Tillblad, one of the Swedish recording industry's pre-eminent designers, dub/raggae aficionado, and the man behind the Stockholm dub club "DubDeck", met Nina Ramsby, former guitarist and lead singer in the band salt. At the time, Nina was looking for design and graphis arts work to finance her musical interests. She began working at Ricky's design firm F+, and in their off-hours, the two began writing music together That same year, Ricky bumped into Carl Herlöffson - guítar player /engineer/ producer extraordinaire and head of the Indie Label Primal Music - at his club. The chance meeting resulted in Ricky signing on as partner in Carl and his brother's label. By late '96, Ricky and Carl had become a prolific production team working as "Eclectic Bob", cutting instrumental club-oriented drum & bass tracks for Primal Music.
One fateful day, Nina came into work at the studio and was introduced to Carl, bringing about the convergence of all three of the forces, destined to become Baxter. For the next three months, Ricky, Carl and Nina spent all of their spare time in the studio experimenting with sound, writing and recording, and before they knew it, they had completed the better part of an album. By the spring of '97, all that was left to do was a bit of polishing and mixing on the tracks. In the fall of '97, the three of them -- with a new name, Baxter -- sent out a 5-track promotional CD (comprising selections from their full length album). Almost immediately, major US labels were calling, raving about the band. After legthy negotiations and numerous overseas flights Baxter decided that Maverick Recording Co. was where the 'vibe' was.

Television I wish I had Seen you in front of your T.V set I wish I'd seen you When you blew up What seemed to be the whole world to you I wish I woke up When you were sad I wish I had Seen you in front of your T.V set All alone in your room You blew up your television The whole world to you And less of you is left On your own in your room You blew up your television The whole world to you And less of you is left I wish I had Seen you in front of your T.V set I wish I'd seen you When you blew up What seemed to be the whole world to you All alone in your room You blew up your television The whole world to you And less of you is left On your own in your room You blew up your television The whole world to you And less of you is left I wish I could take you outside and I wish I saw the rest of you here I wish I could take you outside and I wish I saw the rest of you here On your own in your room You blew up your television The whole world to you And less of you is left I wish I could take you outside and I wish I saw the rest of you here... ( Repeat both 'till the end )

Ballad of behaviour
And it seemed You were on your own I was sure But I think I denied it anyway And it seemed You were on your own I was sure But I think I denied it anyway It seems that I need you It seems that I do It seems I could call you It seems that I could And I am so much closer now I will wait for the right way to tell you what I feel It seems that I need you It seems that I do It seems I could call you It seems that I could Wish I could tell you what it's like I haven't been here in many years I never thought of you like this I haven't been here in many years It seems that I need you It seems that I do It seems I could call you It seems that I could It seems that I need you It seems that I do It seems I could call you It seems that I could
Political
It will take some time for me To get the point of what Was wrong with this I saw it was Too many cold Too many scared And bold and failed Turn on the lights And watch me run You will follow me to the end You will see I will take care of everything And I will make you better off I assure you And you won't even be around And you won't say a word to cope And I will ask the better ones How come you lie How come you ain't a part of us You will see And you will always watch for me You will see And you will always watch for me Turn on the lights And watch me run You will follow me to the end You will see And you will always watch for me I will take care of everything And I will make you better off I assure you You will see me You will see And you will always watch for me You will see me Turn on the lights And watch me run You will follow me to the end You will see I will take care of everything And I will make you better off I assure you You will see You will see You will see You will see me
Possible
Never thought it was possible to be down here again And never thought it was possible to be Never thought it was possible to meet this way again Isn't this the way it oughta be now, to meet me here I can only see what life will be outside to leave me here Never thought it was possible to be down here again And never thought it was possible for me to grow 'Cause if you take back the empty cold I will be there for you I will be there for Never thought it was possible to be damn here again And never thought it was possible to be Never thought it was possible to meet this way again Never thought it was possible Never thought it was possible Never thought it was possible
All of my pride
Even if I have to go This will always be my home You will always think of me Wishing that I always would be there Even if I have to go This will always be my home I will always be a part of you Call my name and I'll be there I'll give away All of my pride I will take off This is what I say before I go I’ll return myself to you Will you regret your weakness too I did excuse myself to comfort you Never judge my love again I'll give away All of my pride I will take off This is what I say before I go I'll give away All of my pride I will take off This is what I say before I go
So much I've heard
Restless I am waiting for the moment I'll be done again I wish you all had something to talk about today except me and you And you turn out to be a queen Like a rocket’s red glow So why don't you leave my backyard There is so much I've heard There is so much I've heard There is so much I've heard Take me, home now make this yours Take me, home now make this yours I wanna see you Far away now Like a rocket’s red glow The less sad I am, the more I’ll be So why don't you leave my backyard There is so much I've heard... Take me home now make this yours...
Oh my love
I have a sorrow It never leaves me alone Grief is a burden I can rely on There is a place Look for me there There is a place Look for me here I'm under my willow Crying my sad song for you My willow a place I need When I'm not in the mood There is a place Look for me here There is a place Look for me there Oh my love Don't take it too serious Oh my love Oh my love Oh my love Don't take it too serious Oh my love Oh my love I have a sorrow That never leaves me alone Grief is a burden I carry lie on There is a place Look for me there There is a place Look for me here Oh my love Don't take it too serious Oh my love Oh my love Oh my love Don't take it too serious Oh my love Oh my love Oh my love Don't take it too serious Oh my love Oh my love Oh my love Don't take it too serious Oh my love Oh my love
