EL-AHRAIRAH [AKA: MUSIC INSPIRED BY WATERSHIP DOWN]

I really thought "Attic Thoughts" was one of Bo HANSSON's best. For "Music Inspired by Watership Down", he decided to do another album similar to "Lord of the Rings", that is recording an album inspired by a book. Unfortunately, I really thought BO HANSSON really ended up in a dead-end here, really adding nothing new or surprising that he hadn't already done better on previous albums. It's not a bad album, but I really got a feeling he wasn't really going anywhere. The songs are quite a bit longer than anything he's done before, and I don't have complaints of the length of songs. Just that it's a bit lacking in inspiration. It's just good as well that this would be his final album (until he released an album in 1985 called "Mitt I Livet" before going in to seclusion once again, with rumors of poor health). Definately start with "Lord of the Rings" and work your way forward before coming here.
