"U'N'I" ：

"This Time Tomorrow" ：

Anders Nelsson眾多的作品中，Inspiration年代的"I Still Love You"及Ming年代的"Reasons Why"是筆者較喜愛的兩首。估計"I Still Love You"亦可能是Anders的至愛，因為該曲在他以往曾領導的三支樂隊期間，都有不同的灌錄版本。而本地歌手蔡國權於八十年代中也有把這歌經由林振強以中文填詞及命名為"長夜"，收錄於其個人《蔡國權精選》大碟内，當時也頗受本地樂迷喜愛。

Kontinentals年代的"I Still Love You" ：

The Inspiration年代的"I Still Love You"1:04分試聽版:
