THE FLOWER KING

Being as behind on things as I have been over the years I didn't stumble upon the music of Roine' Stolt and The Flower Kings until I became aquainted with the internet. Finding them is one of the greatest of my discoveries in the past few years. I first heard this album when I was stationed in Afghanistan in 2009 and hearing it helped me out a whole bunch! Just like the best FK stuff this is a rich and exciting recording. The title track is a wonderful beginning and everything that follows is no less enjoyable. It must have been glorius for many other old-time prog heads to hear this in the middle of the 90's, a decade crammed with garbage pretending to be music. I'm glad I was able to catch up and with other epics like Space Revolver and Stardust We Are I can hear that the legacy of prog is in good hands! Thank you Roine'! You deserve a statue!
