FIREFLY

This is a very lovely hippie rock record! The fantasy oriented covers with romantic theme and light pastel colors fit the musical style of this album perfectly. The keyboards and guitar paint an airy and comfortable sound walls, and the compositions are emotional and mostly glad. The most memorable tracks for me here are "Been Away Too Long", "Wise Man" (which was also being played at their 2005 Helsinki concert) and the title track "Firefly", which is totally marvelous rock suite in three parts. I wouldn't recommend this for those who seek angst from music, but the fans of softer art rock should like this.
