The second album from this band from Sweden.
The band was a trio with a lineup of drums, bass, keyboards, organ, electric piano and samples.
Tomas Bodin returned again after his not so great debut album.
He got help from two other members of The Flower Kings on this album.... but not Roine Stolt this time. So this album has no guitars in other words.
Cinematic rock and movie soundtracks is the genre Tomas Bodin has chosen in his solo career and that is what we get on this eighty minutes long album.
The album starts with some sampled/keyboards generated church organs and a psalm sounding piece of music before it moves on to a more classical music influenced cinematic rock area.
Tomas Bodin is a great musician and so is the two others here. The music is more on the dull and pretty predictable end of the scale. The music is very cheesy at times.
We are in December now and the festive season. The music here is for festive occasions, indeed. But it is still too cheesy.....
Nevertheless, this is a decent album and one to enjoy if cinematic rock is your thing.
