4 stars This is a very pleasant symphonic album.

If you ever have been in love in love with the early ''Genesis'' this album might suit your shoes pretty well. Of course, there is no vibrant vocals in here (they use to be scarce overall in their music) but the music is so nice and tranquil that with no doubt, it will lead you to reach the peace of mind.

This short piece of music is best experienced as a one track kind of record. It is very difficult to point out one particular song. The opener ''Overtyr'' sets the pace to the work and I really like the way it is paved: a remarkable, beautiful, harmonious piece of sweet and beautiful music. I guess that even if you are dummy as I am in Swedish, you know that it means ''Overture''.

So, I guess that we are confronted with some kind of concept album. This first release is full of tact and plenty of great musical moments are awaiting for your curiosity.

I won't call this a masterpiece since it weakens a bit towards the middle part; but globally it should please any early seventies symphonic freak. Since I am one of them, I will rate this album with four stars.

Early ''Camel'' and ''Fruupp'' fans will be delighted.
