Art Of Melody Music & Burning Minds Music Group are glad to announce all the details of "TAFKATNO", new official studio album by Danish westcoast master, Michael Kratz. Following the great feedbacks received by music press and specialized media after the release of his previous solo album "Live Your Life", followed by the special collector's 3CD package "Live Your LIVE", Michael is finally back with another AOR/Westcoast  work of art.

"TAFKATNO" features an outstanding list of special guests including Christian Warburg (Paul Young), Bruce Gaitsch (King Of Hearts, Madonna, Peter Cetera, Chicago, Elton John, Joe Cocker, Lionville), Torben Lysholm (Pangea, Mysterell, Acacia Avenue), Davide Gilardino & Luca Carlomagno (Mindfeels) and Janey Clewer (Peter Cetera, Bill Champlin, Michael Bolton, Michael Sembello among others). The mix was done Kawer Studios by Kasper Viinberg and Kratz himself, with mastering handled instead by Torben Lysholm @ SnakeRock.

"TAFKATNO" is scheduled for release on September 24, 2021 via Art Of Melody Music / Burning Minds Music Group. A special personalized edition has been created by Outward Styles in a very limited quantity of 30 copies, and will be available exclusively on the Burning Minds Music Group's official online shop. CD graphics have been designed by Aeglos Art (Wheels Of FireAirbound, Raintimes, Alchemy, Room Experience), with booklet featuring introductory liner notes written by Bengt Isaksson (Westcoast/AOR Music Network).  Cover artwork concept and design thanks to Michael Kratz.
