A DROP OF LIGHT

A Swedish band that stayed under my radar for at least 40 years. And rightly so. Except for some really beautiful delicate parts in the very long 18" first song, the style of this album is pompous and replete with platitudes. Plenty of female vocals in the "Lord of the Rings" variety, plenty of folksy influences in the Anecdoten vein. I can't see much freshness here, especially when the synths presets are heavily switched to saxophone. Those whishing to hear a much more creative approach to classical progressive music should give a listen to Infinien, Thieves' Kitchen or Yuka & Chronoship.
