They are on Winter Skies, in the chorus after the solo... Of this info I'm 100% sure, but they are as noticeable as Kotipelto in I Have a Right (SGHN)

Oh yeah, he was there

But I find it somewhat useless when they have each other as guests in the far distant background where you can't even tell it's them

Yup. From the Wikipedia article:

And then Timo came to Sonata a second time to do backing vocals on tracks 1/2/5/6 as well, but that's audible. He's basically in every chorus on those songs doubling Tony's voice. Tony I can't hear on Polaris at all.

Thanks for the info, I would have never thought Timo sings "I have a right", I thought it's all Tony's voice. It's really hard (or even impossible) to divide their voices in this song

Seeing as how they're not doing so well lately, it's not like they have too much to lose, so why not

Better than Pasi probably. I loved Pariah's child but the production was quite ass.

i take your word, i will happy to build a supreme sonata artica in post production

well, i need admit, sonata artica is a good band, stratovarius too. Bud the sound is a lot to one band

including, you can have a tons of variations to build extra material based in sound jobs, live sounds and extra versions.

I'M OPEN!! I CAN GOT YOUR VISION TO YOUR MUSIC AND WORK!!

I didn't notice it on I Have A Right. I'll have to go back and listen again.
