The one and only album from this band from Norway.
The band was a sextet with a lineup of drums, bass, guitars, violin, piano and vocals.
This band from the west coast of Norway arrived in the scene, released this album and then disappeared again.
The album has recently been re-released on CD in the Norwegian retro re-release albums series Norske Albumklassikere and I therefore thought it was about time to check out this album.
Soft progressive rock was what it was sold as when it first time was released.
There is indeed a lot of Camel, early Genesis and Barclay James Harvest influences here. The songs are a mix of instrumentals, Norwegian and English vocals.
The music is pretty melancholic and not particular happy chappy.
The mood is indeed pretty dark and that is helped by some pretty dark vocals.
The quality is somewhere between decent and good.
This album is not among the better progressive rock albums from Norway and Scandinavia. It is still an interesting album and well worth checking out.
