Product Description For more than a decade Sweden's now legendary progressive rock giants, The Flower Kings have dominated the new worldwide Prog revival. Originally drawing from obvious influences such as Yes and Genesis, the Flower Kings have evolved into a seasoned and mature band who's sound is now as recognizable as that of their mentors. A sound that has come to be adored by fans and press alike. Over the years The Flower Kings have experimented with various approaches to their writing, arrangements and instrumentation, but The Sum Of No Evil represents something of a return to their roots and traditions. The result: This is The Flower Kings at their best - melodic and timeless progressive rock played by masters of their instruments. The bonus disc on the Special Edition contains four additional tracks as well as a making of The Sum Of No Evil .
The Sum Of No Evil, September 29, 2007 By A. Schultz (New York) The Flower Kings have returned, once again, with a magnificent album full of spiraling notes and intricate details. In a return to the earlier roots of the band, this album can described as following in the grand tradition of Stardust We Are and Retropolis, but it also hails many of the virtuoso qualities found on Unfold The Future. This is largely due to the presense of the percussion great Zoltan Csorz combined with bassist extrordinaire, Jonas Reingold. There is no denying that this "powerpack in the back" is a force to be reckoned with! Add to the mix the talents of Hasse Froberg on vocals and guitar, and the genius of guitar master/composer, Roine Stolt and his partner in crime, Tomas Bodin on keyboards, and you have sheer musical brilliance! Although the band has stated that the Sum Of No Evil is a return to the bands roots of Symphonic Prog, Jazz enthusiasts will be delighted to know that there are still some of the offbeat improvisational pieces, like Flight 999 Brimstone Air, that are still invovative and seriously fun! The album begins with an epic, One More Time, which is a musical whirlwind in the grand tradtion of The Truth Will Let You Free. It leads into another grand epic, Love Is The Only Answer, which has a chorus that harkens back to Stardust We Are -- Close to divine, it is! Trading my Soul is a retrospective with brilliant guitar work by Master Stolt. The Sum Of No Reason is a summation of all that came before in the grand TFK style and tradition. The Jazzy Brimstone Air is followed by Life In Motion which is full of all the love that was put into this album. Yes, the Sum Of No Evil does equal LOVE, and there is no shortage of heart on this record! As for the bonus Disc: Please note, The videos are Quicktime. Please go to Quicktime dot com to download the lastest edition of the player so that you may watch them on your computer. The two videos were recorded by the band's long time friend, Per Nordin, and were edited by Roine Stolt himself. They are rare glimpses inside the studio workings of the band. Zoltan enthusiasts will be thrilled to witness his extraordinary talent as he skillfully plays the drums and makes it look oh so easy! The fly on the wall snippets are a fun addition, available only on the Limited Edition. There are also three bonus tracks on the Limited set as well. All three songs clock in at around 5-6 minutes each, but are pure nuggets of gold and are well worth the extra ducats. This recording will mostly be hailed as perhaps one of the finest albums ever made by the Flower Kings. But time will only tell as these fellows seem to still have lots of music left in them!!! |
