Reviews
Sweden's The Flower Kings represent the finer elements of progressive rock as they artfully expound upon the early-'70s, much beloved British Canterbury Scene amid dashes of psychedelic rock and to a lesser extent, jazz fusion. With this 2000 release, the musicians continue their forward thinking ways, as they touch upon disparate elements amid complex arrangements and tenacious ensemble work along with the occasional nod to contemporary jazz, thanks to multi-instrumentalist Ulf Wallander's tasty soprano saxophone work.
(Glenn Astarita All Music Guide, 10/21/2003)
Flower Kings- Unfold The Future ..the 25 minute long finale Devil's Playground`, which deliberately borders on the atonal, using a Zappa-like basic thread and which culminates in a fantastic tenor saxophone solo Like John Coltrane meets Bruford-Passage by guest musician Ulf Wallander
Laura's sax is a key courier in the delivery of Ulf Wallander's distinct sound.
Pink Floyd-Wish You Were Here
align Shine on You Crazy Diamond: Part I to V: This is progressive rock with bluesy guitars, jazzy drums and a progressive overtone provided by the keys. This gives it an almost psychedelic feel. Unfortunately, I'm one who only knew Pink Floyd from their mainstream success. The first time I heard I heard this song was the cover by Transatlantic. A funky sax enters the formula later in the game then leads the way to pick up the pace. This was new to my ears as none of the members in Transatlantic provided a sax. This may have been a good place to invite Ulf Wallander into the studio for a visit with the boys.
