Fireworker is a wonderful album full of sometimes slow keyboards, occasional opera-type vocals, and sometimes featuring violin and mandolin.

It's generally relatively soft and mellow, but that's contrasted with it's heavy moments. This album drips with atmosphere. While I find some of their earlier stuff a bit droning and depressing, I don't find that here. Not to say that there aren't sad moments, but they don't control the album. The music itself has enough variety to keep one's attention. It may get slow but it never gets boring.

Only five tracks, but like a lot of prog, two of them are extremely long. My only complaint is the nature of the vocals. Ohme isn't a bad singer, but I'm not a huge fan of the Radiohead-like vocal style. But everything else shines through, and it makes a great listen. 4 stars.
