Mand Af En Tid is the second solo album that Mike Tramp has recorded in Danish.

In Mike’s Own Words: “I will be the first to admit that I am only repeating myself and stating the obvious with my second album, where once again I sing in my mother tongue (Danish). I am exactly where I was with the first album, but it is also exactly where I want to be, and the true purpose of making this album, in a time where making a new rock’n’roll record would be doing it for yourself. After 46 years living and existing under the Rock’n’Roll banner, carrying and dragging along the logo of my previous bands, and at times feeling that I am running from my past.

The facts are that at home Mike Tramp doesn’t wear spandex pants, studded leather jackets, wield a sword like I’m part of Lord Of The Rings, or sleep in a coffin. I get up in the morning, avoid shaving or paying attention to my hair, make a pot of tea and sit down at the piano and let my mood and memories be the start of a new song, an honest expression shielded from the state of the world and the state of today’s music business.

For Mike Tramp’s album, the singer reworked tracks from his former band WHITE LION and now presents them in a new guise. Mike explains: “For me, the period from 1983 to 1991 was a unique experience. Everything I did then, I did for the first time, and even if it was more than exciting and adventurous – when it came to an end, it was more than the end of a band, it was also the end of a special period of my life that I was experiencing. In the following 20 years, I dealt with this period of my life in small portions, but I never felt 100 percent comfortable with it. I just couldn’t force myself to imitate what I used to be. Well, in 2023, I recorded an album with WHITE LION songs that are as close to the original as possible, but still bring in small new parts that I think are right today. I’m not 26 anymore, I don’t sing like 26 anymore and I wouldn’t do the songs or myself justice if I tried to sing like that.”

There was no plan to do it, not on paper not on a wish list, maybe just when someone asked. Will you ever do an album in Danish. I would answer yeah, maybe one day, not giving it more thought, until that day suddenly unexpected came around. One of my best friends who know all about my life and also happens to be the author of my biography “Vagabond”, Lars Daneskov. One day sent me the lyrics to one song. I had never in my entire career sung other peoples lyrics or written music to lyrics, so this would now be the first time. As I read the lyrics, which was as close to something I would have written myself if I had been fluent and comfortable in my mother tongue. It opened a door to another room or another world I had never been in before. I was drawn to explore this journey which would for always be a For The First time, now also the title of the album. For it to be completely different and separate from anything I had ever done. I started composing the music and the melodies exclusively on piano and it allowed me to go to musical places I had not been at before, as lyrics to song by song was sent to me. This album and journey had to stand on it’s on and not be compared, not even in the slightest form to what Mike Tramp had done before. I was not thinking about an audience, I wasn’t thinking about how it would end up. I just followed something natural, almost a reservoir of things I had kept for this day, melodies and styles that would never had fitted my rock career, my rock’n’roll life. But this is as much Mike Tramp as White Lion, Freak Of Nature ever was. It might just be this one and only time I climb this mountain. The songs are about the place I come from, how I grew up and how the world was back then. It is my story, but unfortunately for my international fans. It can’t be translated to English and have the same meaning as when I sing the words of my mother or the sound of the streets I grew up on. With all that being said. I would still imagine some fans finding this album interesting, I personally considered some of my finest songwriting.
