Unreadable Passport Anticipation, CD, recorded 2014

Having taken a year off - due to Juniors career-developments -The Cheese once again headed for the Playground Studios in Wrocław. The album title inspired by the eventful trek from Copenhagen/Bornholm/Wrocław to Malmoe and Katowice and back again. The album - which coincidentally marks the 25th anniversary of the Hue/Cheese band - is the usual mix of songs inspired by Mikkel's personal life and some lyrical absurdities in the form of Friggin' Reality. The fifth track is a moving and deeply personal farewell to one of Mikkel's friends, who sadly passed away.

At the controls, Grzegorz Stefański of Playground Studios once again tried to keep calm during the three days of mayhem that eventually produced the 14th studio album of the group, surpassing bands like The Beatles (12 albums) and U2 (13 albums) in artistic creativity. Pink Floyd (15 albums) appear to be the next target for the hardworking quartet from Rødovre :-)

Better Than Puke, CD, recorded 2010-2012

The 2012 recordings marked the final part of the first Polish Trilogy. Contact with the Playground Studio had been re-established and the sound was better than ever! The Cheese recorded five new tracks. Four more tracks, including the great tracks „Friend” and „Jack Is On My Back”, from Mikkel and one track from Michael, the quirky - and this time slightly less forgettable - „Driving To Bhutan”.

Shortly after these recordings, the Playground Studio moved into new premises after an agreement with The Cheese and their Polish football outfit, and negotiations for the recording of the 2nd of a total of 18 Polish Trilogies went on their way.

The CD also included all the previous 13 tracks recorded in 2010 and 2011, thereby making it, by far, the most comprehensive single CD in the Cheese discography. The five tracks from the 2010 session was remastered for added listening pleasure.

Jack Is On My Back, Video, recorded 2012

As another new first in Cheese history, director/filmmaker Agnieszka Bekalarzyk shot the official video to the „Jack Is On My Back” track. This track was chosen by The Cheese members using one of the traditional voting procedures, that has stopped this band from evolving for the last 24 years :-)

Vacuuming Ole Ritter, CD, recorded 2011

In November 2011, The Cheese once again found themselves in a recording studio in Wroclaw, Poland. This time in the Disease Studio, that turned out to be the only way out after a massive communication failure with the guys from the Playground Studio - that was used one year earlier.

Although cramped into a 25 sqm studio and in a setting that looked like something from Sarajevo in the early 90's, the Cheese managed to put down 7 tracks in only 28 hours, and it was recorded in a quality that was better than ever.

Six fantastic tracks from Mikkel's ever growing songbook and one „made-for-the-occasion” track by Michael, was extended by the first ever „re-mix” to appear on a Cheese recording. The infamous Dr. Phil tracked down Cheese frontman Mikkel using an army of taxies and intense internet-stalking, and convinced him to record an exciting new version of „Sit Here Alone” in a completely new style!

Shittin' Bricks , CD, recorded 2010

In October 2010, Morten, Morten and Mikkel decided to surprise The Cheese's Polish resident Michael for his 41th birthday. The weekend resulted in five freshly recorded tracks - none of which had been previously recorded in a professional studio.

In an action packed weekend, The Cheese - helped along by PlayGround Studio's fantastic staff - managed to record the five tracks following a 2-hour rehearsal on friday evening, a marathon 14-hour recording session on saturday and three hours of mixing on sunday afternoon.

This collection of songs is a record-breaker in many ways. It was the first proper studio-production of all four members since 1997. The Cheese produced it's first ever musical video to accompany the track "Stranger". It was the first time ever all four members of The Cheese remained - relatively - sober throughout the entire session. It was the first time the average guitar-solo lasted under one minute and also the first time a majority of the tracks started with a drum-break. For Morten Steen - personally - this album also meant he broke several records playing "Tiger Woods 2011" on his iPhone...

This record is planned to be the first half of a full-length CD to be finished in 2011 named "Shittin' Bigger Bricks"... maybe!

Little School Rehearsals , CD, recorded 2004

The Little School Rehearsals were part of the build-up to the live-performance in Wroclaw, Poland on May 2nd, 2004. The CD consists of 14 tracks, with several takes of the classic live-repertoire.

The recordings were made using a 30-dollar microphone and a Sony Minidisc-player... and the result is a surprisingly clear sound that pretty much reveals the level of playing at the praticesessions and - naturally - the concert that followed.

Nine Months The Birth Of A Band, CD, recorded 2003

The Nine Months album was a solo-effort by Mikkel Steen/Michael S. Hansen but is generally recognized to be part of The Cheese catalogue.

During a three-day holiday visit to Poland the musical-like concept album was thought up, rehearsed, recorded and mixed. The story of the musical being basically an autobiography of The Cheese's career...

Revolution In Your Balls , 4-CD, compiled 2002

Inspired by The Beatles Anthology, The Cheese set out to compile all the material that had survived the last ten years of partying, drinking, moving around and being stowed away in various garages and lofts.

The result became the 4-CD compilation Revolution In Your Balls, consisting of 47 tracks and one interview recorded in the early days.

The material was digitalyy cleaned and compiled at the Voiceland Studios in Wroclaw, Poland.

Cheese Odessey 2001, CD, recorded 2001

A doubtful musical performance recorded in a run down studio in Copenhagen a few days after the New Year 2000/2001 festivities. The quality of the sound and the general playing itself leaves much to be desired - but the CD is interesting as it marked a "new beginning" after the guys hadn't touched an instrument in the same room for a couple of years.

It Stinks, CD 1997

The – for a long time – final album of The Cheese was also – by a long way – their best. Recorded at the Ole Steen Studio in the autumn of 1996 and winter/spring of 1997 - The Cheese returned to their roots and worked in the basement at Kongeslusen no. 21, in the Copenhagen suburb of Hvidovre. The same spot where The Cheese had held all their practice-sessions since 1989.

The initial setup of the studio equipment was done by Lille-Ole, a studio technician from the Ole Erling Studio (see The Sky Tape) who later became famous for his involvement in one of the biggest corruption cases to hit Denmark in the new millenium. After the equipment was set up, The Cheese were, for the first time ever, alone and did almost all the work on the album themselves...

Michael: I pull out this album at least once a month and I am still not tired of it... There are so many different things going on and the songs are still not outdated - as many songs from the earlier albums are, for example all our hour-long mamooth-solofilled-heavy-metal-ballads...

I know it didn't really sell and we never got it out to as many people as we meant to, but in a way I am very proud that I played part in the making of this CD. I wonder if people like Aqua or Britney Spears or can pull their own shit of the shelf in a few years and listen to it feeling as good as I do about It Stinks... Probably not, but then they are millionaires and isn't that what being a musician is all about :-)

Junior: My only "official" album with The Cheese. We taped all the basic tracks in november/december 1996, following that I went off to Jutland in january 1997. The three others added vocals and from time to time sent me the latest versions for me to hear and comment on. During a short visit back in Rødovre i the Easter of 1997 I added percussion and vocals on a number of tracks. For me that was a pretty "concentrated" session. The other guys had quite a lot more time to play around with and that can definately be heard on the finished album... I mean this in a positive way!

Invite Your Friends Over For Tea, tape, recorded 1992

Once again The Hue ventured into the VMC Studios in Grondalscentret in Copenhagen. This time with a little more money and a little more time than they had at their disposal when recording Black Hole. Invite Your Friends Over For Tea was the second album The Hue recorded with the engineer Kim “Ørering”. This time helped along by his apprentice/assistant Sonja “Oppenhagen” who - as you could only expect from The Hue - found herself taking part in the actual music itself...

The recording quality was superb and this tape probably presents the most technically well-balanced sound The Hue/Cheese achieved. Definately better than the later recorded It Stinks.

Tim's presence on the album can be felt with the keyboards adding new possibilities to the sound. Sampling was also a new technique The Hue made use of on this album.

As before, Invite Your Friends Over For Tea was issued on tapes, but for the first time, The Hue charged the fans for the tape. The price being 50 Danish kroner.

Black Hole, tape, recorded 1991

Black Hole was The Hue's warm-up for their Invite Your Friends Over For Tea tape. In many ways Black Hole is a little preview of what was to come a little year later. The tape was recorded in the VMC studios in Grondalscentret in Copenhagen. The most professional of the studios The Hue ever used.

Mikkel and Michael sported brand new Samick-guitars (Gibson look-alikes) while Morten also purchased a Samick bassguitar. These instruments became such an important part of The Hue's sound that they were used exclusively at recordings and concerts even seven years later when the band recorded It Stinks.

The Hue managed to get four tracks down - limited financially to a small number of studio-hours. The sound infinately better than any of the two first tapes, and that not only because The Hue had become a tight little setup.

Once again distributed on tape - which was the "demo"-media of the day back then - Black Hole is still around today in it's original version.

The Skytape (Skybåndet), tape, recorded 1990

Recorded at the Ole Erling Studio in Ballerup, Copenhagen, Denmark in the autumn of 1990. This recording was done in slightly more professional surroundings and the general sound is a lot better than it was on The Hue I. On this recording The Hue had 16 tracks to play around with, but never used more than 9 or 10. The recording technician was Lille-Ole - see also It Stinks - and of course Ole Erling - a Danish cult-figure - popped by to see who was making such noise in his basement.

Again the recordings were issued on cassette-tapes and distributed at great speed, they were out so fast that The Skytape today is even harder to get hold of than The Hue I. This despite the fact that they were issued in a larger number.

The first issue of the tape came with a booklet “The Skybook”, complete with lyrics and a black cut-out dot designed for the listener to jump along the lyrics much alike the wellknown “Karaoke-ball”.

The Hue I, tape, recorded 1990

Recorded in the Ole Steen Studio at the basement of his home in Kongeslusen 21, Hvidovre, Copenhagen, Denmark in February 1990. These tracks were recorded on a Fostex 8-track tape reel recorder. All mixing and engineering was done by the experienced Ole Steen, while all arrangements were done by the band itself. Mikkel played his cheap Fender guitar, while Michael appears with his 99-dollar Epiphone. Morten Hansen borrowed a bass for the sessions while the only well prepared member of the band was Morten Kuhlmann – who set up his own kit especially for the sessions.

The initial sound was pretty good – this is purely recording-technically speaking – but over the years the original material has been copied a number of times and the result can be heard on this compact disc.

The performances themselves left a lot to be desired. It is clear that this material saw the light of day very early in the guy's careers. But there are plenty of memorable moments that overshadow the obvious lack of musical and technical skill.

The Hue I was released on a very limited amount of cassette-tapes, that were distributed amongst friends and family, most of these tapes have since vanished and it is rumoured that original tape versions of The Hue I, will fetch up to 150 Danish kroner - that's almost 20 US Dollars!

It Stinks, CD 1997 The – for a long time – final album of The Cheese was also – by a long way – their best. Recorded at the Ole Steen Studio in the autumn of 1996 and winter/spring of 1997 - The Cheese returned to their roots and worked in the basement at Kongeslusen no. 21, in the Copenhagen suburb of Hvidovre. The same spot where The Cheese had held all their practice-sessions since 1989. The initial setup of the studio equipment was done by Lille-Ole, a studio technician from the Ole Erling Studio (see The Sky Tape) who later became famous for his involvement in one of the biggest corruption cases to hit Denmark in the new millenium. After the equipment was set up, The Cheese were, for the first time ever, alone and did almost all the work on the album themselves... Michael: I pull out this album at least once a month and I am still not tired of it... There are so many different things going on and the songs are still not outdated - as many songs from the earlier albums are, for example all our hour-long mamooth-solofilled-heavy-metal-ballads... I know it didn't really sell and we never got it out to as many people as we meant to, but in a way I am very proud that I played part in the making of this CD. I wonder if people like Aqua or Britney Spears or can pull their own shit of the shelf in a few years and listen to it feeling as good as I do about It Stinks... Probably not, but then they are millionaires and isn't that what being a musician is all about :-) Junior: My only "official" album with The Cheese. We taped all the basic tracks in november/december 1996, following that I went off to Jutland in january 1997. The three others added vocals and from time to time sent me the latest versions for me to hear and comment on. During a short visit back in Rødovre i the Easter of 1997 I added percussion and vocals on a number of tracks. For me that was a pretty "concentrated" session. The other guys had quite a lot more time to play around with and that can definately be heard on the finished album... I mean this in a positive way!

Invite Your Friends Over For Tea, tape, recorded 1992 Once again The Hue ventured into the VMC Studios in Grondalscentret in Copenhagen. This time with a little more money and a little more time than they had at their disposal when recording Black Hole. Invite Your Friends Over For Tea was the second album The Hue recorded with the engineer Kim “Ørering”. This time helped along by his apprentice/assistant Sonja “Oppenhagen” who - as you could only expect from The Hue - found herself taking part in the actual music itself... The recording quality was superb and this tape probably presents the most technically well-balanced sound The Hue/Cheese achieved. Definately better than the later recorded It Stinks. Tim's presence on the album can be felt with the keyboards adding new possibilities to the sound. Sampling was also a new technique The Hue made use of on this album. As before, Invite Your Friends Over For Tea was issued on tapes, but for the first time, The Hue charged the fans for the tape. The price being 50 Danish kroner.

Black Hole, tape, recorded 1991 Black Hole was The Hue's warm-up for their Invite Your Friends Over For Tea tape. In many ways Black Hole is a little preview of what was to come a little year later. The tape was recorded in the VMC studios in Grondalscentret in Copenhagen. The most professional of the studios The Hue ever used. Mikkel and Michael sported brand new Samick-guitars (Gibson look-alikes) while Morten also purchased a Samick bassguitar. These instruments became such an important part of The Hue's sound that they were used exclusively at recordings and concerts even seven years later when the band recorded It Stinks. The Hue managed to get four tracks down - limited financially to a small number of studio-hours. The sound infinately better than any of the two first tapes, and that not only because The Hue had become a tight little setup. Once again distributed on tape - which was the "demo"-media of the day back then - Black Hole is still around today in it's original version.

The Skytape (Skybåndet), tape, recorded 1990 Recorded at the Ole Erling Studio in Ballerup, Copenhagen, Denmark in the autumn of 1990. This recording was done in slightly more professional surroundings and the general sound is a lot better than it was on The Hue I. On this recording The Hue had 16 tracks to play around with, but never used more than 9 or 10. The recording technician was Lille-Ole - see also It Stinks - and of course Ole Erling - a Danish cult-figure - popped by to see who was making such noise in his basement. Again the recordings were issued on cassette-tapes and distributed at great speed, they were out so fast that The Skytape today is even harder to get hold of than The Hue I. This despite the fact that they were issued in a larger number. The first issue of the tape came with a booklet “The Skybook”, complete with lyrics and a black cut-out dot designed for the listener to jump along the lyrics much alike the wellknown “Karaoke-ball”.

The Hue I, tape, recorded 1990 Recorded in the Ole Steen Studio at the basement of his home in Kongeslusen 21, Hvidovre, Copenhagen, Denmark in February 1990. These tracks were recorded on a Fostex 8-track tape reel recorder. All mixing and engineering was done by the experienced Ole Steen, while all arrangements were done by the band itself. Mikkel played his cheap Fender guitar, while Michael appears with his 99-dollar Epiphone. Morten Hansen borrowed a bass for the sessions while the only well prepared member of the band was Morten Kuhlmann – who set up his own kit especially for the sessions. The initial sound was pretty good – this is purely recording-technically speaking – but over the years the original material has been copied a number of times and the result can be heard on this compact disc. The performances themselves left a lot to be desired. It is clear that this material saw the light of day very early in the guy's careers. But there are plenty of memorable moments that overshadow the obvious lack of musical and technical skill. The Hue I was released on a very limited amount of cassette-tapes, that were distributed amongst friends and family, most of these tapes have since vanished and it is rumoured that original tape versions of The Hue I, will fetch up to 150 Danish kroner - that's almost 20 US Dollars!
