The third album from this artist from Sweden.
Tomas Bodin did the keyboards and some vocals here.
He got help from some guests who provided percussion, drums, bass, guitars, saxophones and vocals.
Tomas Bodin is the keyboard player in The Flower Kings and the other members of this band plus some other guests helped him out there.
His first two albums was more like trials & errors albums. Not everything there was up to standard. So my expectations were pretty low when I put on this album.
I was in for a surprise.
The music here is a mix of psych rock in the vein of the final three Pink Floyd albums, symphonic prog, fusion and neo-classical music.
The album is indeed a sonic boulevard. Evert sixty five minutes of the album.
The music is really good throughout even though there is pretty big differences between the genres this album covers. The highlight here is Roine Stolt's smoking hot guitar solos. Guitar solos worthy a guitar hero, although that is the last thing Roine Stolt wants to be. He is too modest.....
There is hardly any vocals here. The vocals is more like voices and used as instruments.
The overall quality is indeed good and this is an album well worth checking out.
