2003 version was only released in Japan.
Includes a live video of "Broken".
Keyboard solo on "The Gun" by Mikko Härkin.
Track 1 is from the EP Successor, track 2 is a re-record from the demo Friend 'till the End, track 4 is a re-record from the demo Agre Pamppers, and track 5 is from the single "Broken".
'Takatalvi' is a Finnish word literally meaning "backwinter", i.e. a cold spell in the spring. This is a short period of time when it suddenly gets colder and often snow will cover the landscape for a couple of days or even for only a few hours.
Takatalvi is considered by some to be a remake of Successor. It contains all the tracks from the album except for "FullMoon (edit version)" and the live tracks.
