ONCE THERE WAS A TIME WHEN SPACE AND TIME WERE ONE

Once there was a time when space and time were one. Okey, that sounds very spiritual and I believe it is subject like that that should be discussed when you listen to My brother the wind, the Sweidsh modern psychedelic band which now has released their third studio album. This album could be a real success with many admirers and a get lot of appreciation. The cover is a lovely painting which fits my romantic point of view very much and the heavy containless music that it contains is interesting as well.

This is a totally new record and one person before me has written about it and though it was a masterpiece. "My brother the wind" is Swedish progressive super band with members from Gösta Berlings Saga: the guitarist and flutist Mathias Danielsson, from Anekdoten: the guitarist and mellotronist Nicklas Barker and from Magnolia the bassist and congaist Ronny Eriksson. The drummer in the band is Daniel Fridlund Brandt who also plays bass on one song. This music is dominated by guitars and the use of them are very talanted and the sound is light. On a first listening I though they reminded me of the fantastic guitar of Fairport Convention's Richard Thompson.

The music of this record is heavy, slow, hypnotic and certainly good to party with. The songs are long and ambient. They are nice to listen to but for me I don't hear anything that drives it. It doesn't contain melodies or structures for me to gather aroud. I would therefor, according to my taste and opinion don't call this neither interesting nor esepcially good music. I admit it's a lot of musicality here and fot being in this subgenre maybe it's awesome. I recommend listeners to at least pick one song and listen to it and I think "Epilogue"(6/10) or "Song of Innocence part 1" are the best. The others are unfortunaltely either annoying or uninteresting for me. The record is't bad so I won't go under two stars.
