The Golden Dawn is a project involving musicians, composers and singers who live in France, Germany, England and the USA. All friends who have known each other for years Of the lot, Rob has worked as a professional musician for many years based in France and Werner has worked professionally in England. The others are all music lovers and players with David now starting out on his musical journey at university after playing in his school band for several years, and Gege, who has worked in too many countries to list here, is still the great sound engineer he has always been as well as being an inspiring drummer. The line-up is: Paul acoustic guitar, electric guitar & vocals, Werner, acoustic guitar, electric guitar & vocals, Torsten, acoustic guitar, electric guitar & vocals, Rob, electric guitar, bass guitar & vocals, David, bass guitar, Gege, drums and, last but not least, Jochen, with ideas, support & jam sessions on his various guitars. Because of the nature of the band the line-up varies from two to five in general. For example, Girls Care was recorded by three of the band, Werner, Torsten & Rob, and Round & Round was recorded by two of the band, Paul & Rob. Both recordings were first and only takes. Indeed TGD like spontaneity, live playing, open arrangements, one shot takes, improvisation, interesting sounds, atmosphere and grooves.

Story behind the song
Quite a long piece, mainly put together by Paul before working on it with Rob, and then Werner during the recording session. Paul does vocals & plays his Sundown acoustic guitar on open tuning, Rob plays his '70s Mustang through a Cry Baby Wah & a Boss DD-3 Delay, then into a small Laney, pushing overdrive for the guitar solo at the end, and also plays the Les Paul bass through a Hi-Watt 100W stack on the (only) overdub track, recorded the day after the live session, and Werner plays sonic strings on the keyboard. The recording was engineered by Werner, mixed by Werner & Rob then mastered by Rob on his Magix set-up. Drums kindly provided by Fred Frizzle who never misses a beat.
