background
"One of Charlie Burchill's hidden treasures. E55
one of our 'silent road songs.'"
"Based on some experience of traveling the European auto route which passes through the following
cities: Helsingborg - Helsingør – Copenhagen – Køge – Vordingborg – Nykøbing Falster – Gedser - Rostock – Berlin
– Lübbenau – Dresden – Teplice – Prague – Tábor – Linz – Salzburg – Villach – Tarvisio – Udine – Palmanova –
Mestre – Ravenna – Cesena – Rimini – Fano – Ancona – Pescara – Canosa – Bari – Brindisi - Igoumenitsa – Preveza –
Rhion – Patrai – Pyrgos – Kalamáta. From Helsingborg, the route was supposed to continue northward through
Sweden and into Finland, although there, for practical and sentimental reasons, it retains its former number,
E4." - Jim, 3rd October 2012
The song was first written and recorded during the Killiney sessions between May and August 1992. The version
released is actually an edited and slightly overdubbed version of the demo.
