Notes:
After her duo ‘September’ featuring Phil Mills stopped, Roos continued playing, both solo and in group formation. She played monthly gigs in café ‘Marleen’ on Singer-Songwriter nights for a while, recording songs occasionally. In 2010 she decided to compile the songs closest to her heart, picking tracks from live recordings and various sessions. Dissatisfied with earlier mixes, Phil Mills remixed several ‘September’ demos for the release, which was mastered by Michiel Cornelisse and released under Roos own name. ‘Unknown Falls’ is about African rivers, which Roos frequwntly crossed while visiting South Africa, her second home. ‘Strongest Man’ is about her former Gouda basketball-trainer, who had great influence on her musical education and who recovered from serious illness recently before the album came out. After the release, the album got great reveiews and Roos expanded her gigs to Denmark and the UK.
