JONAS LINDBERG & THE OTHER SIDE, Swedes who release a musical slap in the line of a SPOCK'S BEARD and a
boosted FLOWER KINGS.'Secret Motive Man' melodic progressive rock with a Celtic touch, with a guitar solo that tickles the mind. 'Little Man' with acoustic guitar and mandolin, boosted by a heavy solo which takes up the 70's title. 'Summer Queen' long spatial intro, folk-country tune with vocals from Jenny; halfway through it drifts heavy prog with Jonas's voice, it evolves and it rises with various arpeggios, in short superb. 'Oceans of Time' for one of the classic prog, vocals, breaks of musicians with Hammond, it's fresh, varied, bucolic; the instrumental goes on many classic paths, great art. 'Astral Journey' plays on the bucolic and pastoral side again, folk limit in which the instruments have a field day 'Why I'm Here' the shortest, most impactful and consensual title. 'Miles from Nowhere' for the slap of the album, 5 drawers with symphonic and theatrical opening, organ in front; acoustic at the start before the melodic flight, the titles are not chained enough and precisely lack progression. The finale is more symphonic and tortured, more attractive, twirling, in short, beautiful music without concession. Very good album which changes a little the common chords with excellence of the melodies, an instrumental virtuoso side, great flights; it's beautiful from the start but quite repetitive, well in the retro prog sector in my opinion.
