They began talks with A&R executive John Kalodner. According to Gunnar, they met with Kalodner "every month for a year", during which he filtered the songs they brought him until they had enough for an album.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Gunnar Nelson: The Nelson Interview )〕 Most of the songs of the album were co-written with Marc Tanner, who was introduced to the band by Tom Vickers. Gunnar Nelson described the collaborating process in an interview as "magical" and praised Tanner for being "very supportive of our own instincts and our melodic sense".〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Popdose Interview: Gunnar Nelson )〕 Tanner also produced the album.〔(the Rain'' booklet )〕 After a year of meeting with Kalodner without being signed, Matthew and Gunnar met with him alone, against the wishes of their managers, and played an acoustic version of "(Can't Live Without Your) Love and Affection". Kalodner was so impressed that the band was signed the next day.〔 As they prepared to record, Matthew and Gunnar started assembling a band. They settled on drummer Bobby Rock, Joey Cathcart, Brett Garsed, and Paul Mirkovich.〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Bobby Rock Interview )〕 Mirkovich also contributed an "Interlude" to the album.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「After the Rain (Nelson album)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
