Visual before the opening section returns with religious harpsichord and male vocal. Next, flutes, incidental tuned percussions, vibes, piano, and multiple female vocals lend the song an angelic (Perhaps all the vehicles are at a traffic stop.) Then the full rock band kicks in with a bass-heavy complex weave of many instruments all seeming to beĭriving their own separate courses-though on the same wide boulevard. "Bortglömda Gårdar" (14:03) opens with 80 seconds of "harpsichord" sound over which male voice singsĭelicately (in Swedish) as other instruments and voices make small, subtle contributions. "First Step" (02:03) what starts out as a Russian-sounding solo piano expression becomes a brief and quite Such a well constructed, fully "orchestrated" song! (9.75/10)Ĥ. The following section of staccatoĪnd centerless interplay reminds me quite a little of the talents and style of JACOPO COSTA and his LOOMINGS andĬAMEMBERT projects as well as all his contributions to other AltrOck Productions bands (Yugen, Not a Good Sign,įactor Burzaco, Empty Days). The 'tron work in the seventh minute conjures up pure King Crimson 1969. As vocals, trumpet andįlugelhorn play with this main theme, the bass, drums, 'tron, vocalese, and percussion work is sublime-at times The melodic riff repeated from the fourth minute on is a wonderful earworm to latch onto. Though the opening three minutes is quite ominous in a Zuehlish way, "Omen" (12:59) an orchestral masterwork-definitely putting on full display the orchestral training and talents ofĭrummer/percussionist Erik Hammarström. Magma reference in the title also-or only-meant to cite the French Zeuhl band?) (9.25/10)ģ. Cool song-especially great if one forgets the title. To quiet down and then slowly, inexorably build and release over the ensuing fifteenth and sixteenth minutesīefore suddenly (too suddenly?) subsiding. Vesuvio, I'm not sure I agree with the choice of expression in the thirteenth and fourteenth minutes as things seem The ensuing full-on eruption section is awesome for the way itĬaptures the insidious and unremitting power and course of a volcanic eruption. Though obviously rather ominously positioned. The following andante section of piano, bass and flute is beautiful and unexpected Love the chunky flanged bass and Mellotron over Slow, sensitive development over the following five minutes. The bombastic, almost violent opening is beautifully tempered by the song's "Magmatic Warning" (16:09) a dynamic and temporal display reminiscent of a weatherman's reporting of the riseĪnd course of an Atlantic hurricane. And theīass-that loose, chunky, in-your-face bass! Awesome. The difference maker is the horns and Mellotron. TOTEM ORCHESTRA and KOTEBEL throughout this song. "All Traps on Earth" (18:15) traipsing into Zeuhl territory with quite some aplomb, I'm reminded of UNIVERSAL Musicians on a dozen wind instruments and you've got the foundation of a pretty high-potential band!ġ. Keyboard player, Thomas Johnson, plus drummer Erik Hammarström and Brand's daughter Miranda on vocals =ĪLL TRAPS ON EARTH!
