The Windmill - To Be Continued

Norwegian band THE WINDMILL was formed in the fall of 2001, with Jean R. Viita (keyboards, vocals) as the instigator and and Morten Clason (sax, flutes, guitars, vocals, keyboards) and Arnfinn Isaksen (bass) as additional founding members. Bent Jensen (guitars), Vidar Kleivane (drums) and Erik Borgen (guitars, vocals) were added to the line-up shortly after, and for the next few years The Windmill was actively rehearsing, writing material and performing live when possible.

In 2005 they started the recording sessions for their first album, with new man Svend Hjalmar Borgen handling the sticks after Kleivane's departure. These recording sessions would take a lot of time, with many ups and downs and a lot of discarded material. Along the way sticksman Bulle called it quites as well, and he was replaced by Sam Arne Nöland in 2009. 

Towards the end of 2009 the recording sessions for the album was finalized, and mixing began. In March 2010 the songs were sent off for mastering and then finally to the CD printer, and in May 2010 To Be Continued... was released, the result of 5 years of hard work. In the final stages of the production another band casualty came to be, when Jensen decided to call it a day. He was replaced by Stig Andre Clason (guitars) in the summer of 2010. 

Studio Album, released in 2010
