The second and final studio album from this band from Norway.
The band was a quintet with a lineup of drums, bass, accordion, guitars, organ, piano, flute and vocals.
The band returned to studio and the record shops two years after their good debut album.
The debut album was a mix of folk rock and hard rock. So more of the same... ?
The folk rock element has largely gone. It has been replaced by symphonic prog. The hard rock element is still there and there is also some eclectic prog here.
There is no denying that the addition of guitarist and flautist Fezza Ellingsen (St Helen and Akasha) has added a lot to this band. It has given their music a lot of solos and harmonies it did not have on the debut album.
The music is also much more complex, much more symphonic and eclectic. It is also a lot more quirky and has added tonnes of more debt and details to their music.
There is a lot to be enjoyed here. It is indeed a very good, bordering to a great album.
This album is essential for those who loves the Norwegian progressive rock scene.
