The eight album from this artist from Sweden.
Tomas Bodin did all the synths and programming here.
This album is a true solo album.
This album is also a rework of a movie soundtrack from 1922... A hundred years old movie soundtrack.
The movie is one of the classics in the silent movies genre. A new version of this movie, with new actors and as a normal dialogue movie was released last year.
The 1922 version had a soundtrack normally played by a piano player in the movie theatre. It was later attached to the movie.
Tomas Bodin has taken the old score and re-recorded it with his modern instruments... make that a synth.
It is more or less impossible to review this movie soundtrack as it was written more than one hundred years ago. This is not progressive rock and hardly neo-classical music either. It is some sort of cinematic music stucked in the past.
There are a few decent stuff here. Nevertheless, this music sounds hopeless outdated, one hundred years to late. One and an half hour of this music is verging to being torture.
This is a half-decent album but nothing more than that. It is a borderline turkey, though. This is an album well worth bypassing.
