The debut album from this band from Sweden and USA
The band is a seven piece big band with a lineup of drums, percussion, bass, guitars, keyboards, saxophone and vocals.
This band is the lead by the Swedish musician Karl Lundeberg and has been released through his record label too.
The band is also a supergroup with members from Toto, Electric Light Orchestra, Ringo Starr Band and Asia. Melodic rock/AOR bands, in other words.
And that is what I thought this album would contain. Melodic rock. Well, I was a bit wrong.
Sweden has a great symphonic prog scene with the likes of The Flower Kings. Their last album is not dissimilar to what we get on Fascination Curve's debut album.
Add some melodic rock and some AOR too to this album.
An album I have to say has really positive surprised me. The sound is the rich Scandinavian symphonic prog so many of us really enjoy. Most of the music is in this vein too.
The vocals is very good and the quality musicians is adding a lot of interesting details and good work on these five songs.
The music is mostly very good and that is my rating of this album.
This album is one of the best surprises of the year.
3.5 points
