Well, based on Roine's Facebook comments, I get the feeling he's thinking of taking the "Flower Kings Revisited" lineup into the studio. Possibly. He claims that Tomas' absence isn't a sign of any bad blood, just Roine wanting to forge ahead with a few different people. Of course, Roine is not the type to air bad blood in public, so who knows really.

I have still only listened to The Sea Within twice, and while I enjoyed it, I just never get the urge to put it on. Will probably listen again this week though. I just don't hear anything that jumps out at me or makes me excited to listen again, but obviously the musicianship is excellent and Roine's solos are outstanding as usual. Just doesn't seem to have the magic I am used to from Roine's projects.

Undusting my Flower Kings cds, been quite a while since the last serious and complete listen. 'World of Adventures' this morning, I forgot how strong that album is...

Beautiful, man!

Well I have been spinning it non stop, and - after having a hard time getting into it - am loving every single bit of it. It's not as immediate as his latest Kaipa DaCapo recording for example but sure has much to offer in depth if you ask me. Maybe give it a couple more sessions? Of course then again, I TRIED to like it as I always do with Mr. Stolt's endeavors. On Another note though I Am not sure if the project will continue to blossom. To my ears Daniel's vocal delivery is pretty much the driving force on this record and almost half the magic. Casey isn't a bad singer but he surely is not capable of replacing the intensity that is Daniel's voice....

Aha the batch buying technique..be careful of the CD that never get spun because you buy too many at once..

Is the sea within meant to be a concept album?

Love is the Only Answer is an amazing piece of music.

^ One of their very best indeed (musically) but a bit bleak and sad thematically, though.

Adam & Eve playing right now - I can understand some of the negative comments about 'Rainmaker' or 'Desolation Rose' but not about 'Adam & Eve': Top-notch compositions, classic (positive) Flower Kings sound with every members in superb form. What else can you ask for?

Love it, baby.

Those are easily my fav TFK albums, A&E and Sum....I love the music style, it's not too dramatic or overly produced or such, very good music. Earlier TFK to me is tough to enjoy, I wish they would release vinyl versions.....Those big album gatefolds would be awesome.

And of course..you have all the other cds that Stolt is involved with loads of new stuff for you to listen too...keep you happy till winter solstice...
