“Times they change”…but not that much!… A slightly heavier sound (what a great guitarworking!!!), a more evident similarity to the early Harem Scarem, but overall a bunch of great songs and an exellent performance for your second masterpiece…Am i wrong?
Absolutely right man!!! That was our intention. In fact, we pursued a more heavier sound. You know, guitars all around, melodies evywhere...but maybe, the most important thing here is songwriting. We paid much attention to the songwriting. We took some time to write solid songs, always trying to bring people something new.

The first rate quality of this brand new release proves that the guide of Mark Mangold was important but not necessary….
Mark Mangold did a good job with our fisrt album. We are really proud to have Mark involved in the that project. But, this time we want something slightly different from our fisrt one. We had a real good material to deal with, so we just let ourselves go. We are really proud with the result. We spent many hours in the studio trying to do our best, and at the end, it was worth the waiting...

Three years have passed by since your wonderful debut album…What have you been doing in the meanwhile?
We spent many time writing songs and arranging them the best way we could. We started from zero, we had to show that we are here to stay. That’s why we did our best to bring people the better songs we were able to write at the moment.
We don’t know if this is enough for being considerated popular, or a real good band, but we don’t care anyway. We do what we do because we love it.
Furthermore, we have a new label called Vicious Records, so we had to deal with all that stuff too.

“Times they change” is released under Vicious Records. What went wrong with Vinny Records?
Did any further Label offer to you a deal for this album?
We had different options at that moment, but we decided to give Vicious Records a try. We liked the way they talked about 91 Suite and their plans for us for the future. Everything is fine with Vicente Corral from Vinny Records, he is our manager right now. Vicente took that decision by himself.

Will the album get a worldwide release (including Japan) or do 91 Suite just aim to the european market?
Well, it is been negociated at the time we speak. We hope to be in Japan, as well as, any other part of the planet.

Any plans for a regular live tour?
It will depend on whether people buy or not the album. We, of course, hope to be anywhere we can, but these days, it is not easy for a band to arrange an european tour.

91 Suite have got a solid reputation as the best Spanish AOR act ever. But how much is AOR followed in your Country? And how much support by fans can spanish bands count on? In Italy we have some excellent musicians and bands (such as Eva, just to name one), but seems like “foreign is better”. What’ s the situation out there?
Similar to that, we guess...It is not easy to play Melodic Rock in a country like Spain or Italy...maybe everywhere in the world these days. Spain is not different in that sense. We have real good efforts such as, Nexx, Airless, Eden Lost...but people don’t pay much attention to this kind of music anymore. We hope that everything can change in the near future.

As far as i know both of your albums have a spanish version as well…Why such a choice?
Not really, it is only that we recorded the spanish version of some of the songs in the album. We have five tracks in this second album, but not included in the international version. The reason is that Spanish is really important worldwide, though we chose English as the linguistic vehicle for 91 Suite music.

Over the last few years many promising AOR acts from Spain appeared on the international scene, often thanks to your previous Label Vinny Records, but seems like many of them didn’ t survive the second release…What’ s the situation right now?
There are several bands working hard right now, Nexx, Eden Lost, Airless...they are trying to bring their music to the people who love this specific style. Some of them lost in the way, but it is something natural, they got their own lives and problems to deal with. Vinny gave us the opportunity to make a dream come true now everything depends on everyone and his own views.

Some spanish communities of rockers seem to be the most active sources in the filesharing websites….What’ s your opinion on this matter? As far as i know cds are too hugely priced in your Country…
Nowadays, bands have a way to promote their music without spending so much money. But on the other hand, it lacks some kind of regulation. Of course, it is important to have all this kind of stuff via internet but we guess there are several ways to protect music from illegal downloads or stuff like that.

I know you recently went to Barcelona in order to shoot a videoclip: what song is featured and when will it be released?
It is going to be released along this week. The song is called Seal It With A Kiss, and it is going to be our first single from the album. Everyone will have the opportunity to download it from our website www.91suite.com.

What’ s your goal with this second album, and how would you rate it in comparison to the first highly acclaimed one?
Maybe it can be...try to reach even more people than we did with our first album. We want people to know us, to know our music and then to decide whether if they like or not. We also want to play live everywhere we can. Of course we like our first album, but maybe it was something less mature.This is a logic evolution to a higher sound from the band itself.

A last curiosity: what did the hell happen in that…”91 Suite” you chose as the band’ s name???
Nothing really...hehehe... well, at least nothing more than in any other room...No, it was just the sound of the word. We liked it, so we took it.
