This album is sprung from the greatness of several people, without whom, I never could have made this happen. I dedicate Ambessa's Dream to Andreas Hedström. Our friendship has taken a leap into the future. Your words linger on, and through the process of mixing this, it feels like you've been there. (Is it too slick?) You lived your life in an honest way, never denied your perfections nor your imperfections. Thank's for the conversations, and for inspiring me to live my life truely. And Henry Gibson, thank's for the musical moments I had the chance to experience with you. It will stay with me for as long as I live. I'll never forget when you gave me that Hathaway-album. You were truely an extension of a man. Thank you for believing in me. And Anne - Thank's. Mom, Dad, sisters, brother - You've allways believed in me going my own way. and though I know I sometimes have been hard to reach, you have been there for me. I love you very much. And Dad, thank's for being a part of this, it feels good to meet you in music. Love you very much. Olov, you enlight me with your critic mind. You are a true friend, but then we made a pact, didn't we? Jakob, you really move me with your music. Never stop, keep on playing! Erik, thank's for adding to the more abstract parts of this album. I'm really happy to have you on it. Inspite of our differences, we connect. I hope we continue playing together. Magnus, we all doubt sometimes (I know I can) but if sometimes you do, just take a listen... From day one you have been there for me. I will never forget that. Love your solo on 'Make it happen'. You are a great musician and above all, a great friend. Siz- Can you hear the viola? Love ya! Calle, thank's for your participation, you contributed unselfishly and were always a pleasure to be around. I hope we will record more together! Gladys and Consuelo - I just love you guys! Never a hesitation. You added the gospel to my music. Chuck, you once gave me the biggest compliment I ever got. And at the time I really needed it. Thank's. I have the deepest respect for you and your music. I really appreciate you beein a part of Ambessa. Love your solo on 'You Got Me Dreamin'. Andreas, everything you do is groovy. I've been thinking of what you said about dedication, 80/20. But then it's nice to know you have a job, right? Rafael, I really enjoyed our sessions together. It was a pleasure both mixing and record the stuff you did. You made my dream come true in many ways. Thank's. Marc - you participated without hesitation allthough things were rough for you. I won't forget that. You really made it funky! Mats, you are a pleasure to jam with, it's nice that we play as often as we do. You are a great musician and friend. Derek,

Mr D. Boy, was I surprise last time I saw you! Remember when we lay your bass on 'Father'? Long time, but then we have known eachother for quite some time now. And this is just the beginning, right? Take care. Andy, thank's for helping me out with the mythology. Your voice frame the entire album. You made it an entity. Janosh, though you can be hard to handle, you are, together with Sven, one of my best friends. I will be there for you whenever, never forget that. Sara, Marit, Anna, Tinna, Jonas G (yeah, I know, but you played once, right?) sorry for beeing such a annoying person, taking every opportunity to record you and all, but didn't it come out OK? And Anna, thank's for your wonderful improvisation on 'New Beginning' We didn't know eachother then, remember? Anders, I really enjoyed spending time with you. Your positivity made it easy. You are a great musician and a true artist, I hope we could get together again sometime. Marcus - thank's for the Tropealicks! Leon, you brought Africa to my vision. You never hesitated to help me. Thank's. And Aboubacar - you made my poem come to life. Maria, it feels good to have you as a friend, and I know you feel the same way. Thank you for always encouraging me.

A special thank's to Mattias, for helping me out with the graphics, you're the best! I think we connect in a lot of ways, and I will be forever thankful for the work you have done.
