The one and only album from this band from Sweden.
The band was a quartet with a lineup of drums, percussion, bass, guitars, cello, Chapman stick, synths and vocals.
This album is a bit of an oddity... It was first released on LP on a local Swedish label before Musea rightly re-released it on CD with two bonus tracks some ten years later. This review is of the CD as it is still available.
Symphonic prog in the vein of Camel is what we get here.
There are some faint Eloy and ELP influences here. Even some Mike Oldfield influences. But most of this one hour long album is sailing close to Camel.
There is not much vocals here. But the vocals is good.
The music is pretty much mid-tempo with some pastoral and lyrical bits. Each instrument here is being full utilized.
The music is both comfortable and giving. There is a lot of interesting details here and that makes this album both a hidden gem and a good album.
This album is highly recommended to all Camel and symphonic prog fans.
