The debut album from this artist from Sweden.
Tomas Bodin did the organ, piano, mellotron, synths and voices here.
A handfull of guests added percussion, drums, bass, guitars, effects and voices.
Tomas Bodin is mostly known for his cooperation with Roine Stolt and The Flower Kings. He has released ten solo albums and they are all up for reviews in this blog during this winter and spring.
Roine Stolt does indeed do the guitars here and some bass. His brother Michael Stolt also contributed on the bass.
The music here is a mix of symphonic prog and cinematic rock. All of this instrumental music.
The music sounds sterile throughout. There are some avant-garde ambient stuff in the middle of this sixty-six minutes long album which does not sounds good at all.
Most of the music is based on organ and synths. There are some good mellotron and church-organ like sounds too here. But these themes are far, far too short.
This album sounds too much like a run-of-the-mill cinematic rock album and that is what it is.
The music is decent enough but not that inspiring. Tomas Bodin must do better on the next albums.
