INFO: In a roundabout way, the writing of The Race's new album, Ice Station, began even before The Race had recorded their previous album, If You Can. One of the first songs written at that time was "The Shortest Way to China." "I remember really loving that song," says singer/guitarist Craig Klein, "but no one else in the band at the time felt the same way. It was strange because I wrote all the songs for the band and had never had them reject one like that before." There was a record to make, though, and ultimately, when the writing process concluded for If You Can, the band had twenty songs to choose from, so Klein moved on and left the song behind. "In retrospect, I realize that it wouldnÕt have fit on there. That was a completely different kind of record than Ice Station."
