P�r Lindh and Bj�rn Johansson

Symphonic Prog

This is probably one of the most overlooked album of the past year. I'm not a Tolkien fan at all, but this music inspired by one of his books is truly outstanding. It's all instumental music, and the number of instruments used to record this album is really impressive. The music reminds me MIke Oldfield albums, so if you like Ommadown, Amarok or even Voyager (as I do) you'll find a lot of pleasure on "Dreamsongs...". The whole album is varied, you can find mandoline, flute, horns, and of course keyboards and a gentle guitar played by Bjorn Johansson. The drum parts are also very nice. I wouldn't say it's a masterpiece of progressive music, but in my opinion it really deserves 4,5 stars.

Well, well well...finally i actually searched for this album in progarchives and searching for some swedish bands i founded "LINDH P�R AND BJ�RN JOHANSSON"; i got this album without any expectations since Pard lindh jobs didnt sound enough original for me. This is the Best, and i mean it, Best instrumental Symphonic CD you will ever hear. Like The Return To Forever Romantic Warrior is a must have for Jazz/fusion, this is a Must have for symphonic. The musicianship is just incredible, and this time thank god Par lindh hired other musicians to play flute and other instruments, and it gives it so much more emotion to the record. I've been throug a lot of symphonic albums, and this is not a regular one, it has that magical essence when you hear it, work of art is maybe the most appropiate word for something that might sound boring for some musicians/non musicians. .... Bjorn Johansson vibrator solos are amazing. Im not a LOFT rings fan but that never stoped me of thinking this is a masterpiece.

Stay Class

4.80 out of 5 starsy
