UNFOLD THE FUTURE

The FLOWER KINGS have been releasing some fairly epic lengthed albums (2 CD) over the past few release ("Flower Power", "Stardust We Are"...) with "Unfold The Future" adding another double CD to their repetoire. Lineup includes the usual suspects Roine STOLT - vocals, guitars, keyboards, Hasse Fröberg - vocals, Jonas Reingold - Fender bass, fretless bass, Zoltan Csörsz - drums and Tomas Bodin - Grand piano, keyboards. This is a highly innovative and carefully crafted album with a melting pot of ideas and styles. For this prog rock fan the opening track "The Truth Will Set You Free" takes the cake and makes the whole CD an essential pick up (I think the Classic Rock Society voted this track "the track of the year" also !). The big difference on this album is the addition of young Hungarian talent Zoltan Csorz' who has added a new Jazz injection into the band. The end result is still classic symphonic prog with an added twist of fusion. As you would expect the overall sound is quite polished with some superb musicianship and band interplay.
