CINEMATOGRAAF

This is my first entry into Tomas Bodin solo work. And solo is the right word, since the guy wrote, produced, mixed and played everything on this album. You can tell by its title and covers that it was music inspired and/or written for movies. Even though it is not really my cup of tea, in that field, I can tell he is highly succesful. His work is full of imageries and movements that ressemble many moods and shifts of some screenplay. But above all the music in itself is enjoyable and very well done. I really liked the way his played and programmed his many keyboards to get away from commonplace or boredom.

Not really essential, at least for me, but a very fine CD by one of prog´s best new talents. He proves he is one of the true elements that made The Flower Kings so special. If you´re into instrumental prog, this is a must have. If you´re not, you should give it a chance. My rating is somewhere 3,5 and 4 stars.
