Regarding this new album it is all an experiment and in fact quite daring , What we have now recorded and on it's way is a material of around 2x60 minutes . We're still not sure if we wanna make it a double or single yet. Bandmembers have contributed a bit more than normal and it is mostly recorded together live in Medley studios in Denmark . It will consist of 15-17 songs ranging from 3 minutes to 21 minutes . Vocals are equally shared between me and Hasse Froberg ,there might be a chance of other guest appearances ...but even rest of bandmembers join in some choirwork. The songs are perhaps a bit more mellow and sometimes very psycedelic leaning more towards Walrus era Beatles than ELP or Genesis prog . We have a few instrumentals and some real quirky stuff but not really jazzy ,more like avantgarde or freeky prog stuff ,plus more of the cinematic drama .....and we have bombasm !!! Mr Bruniusson mention both Gentle Giant and King Crimson when he heard a few of the songs he's supposed to do a bit of marimba etc. on .....I suspect he's right. There is a throwback in the Keyboard department to classical progsounds , We've used both real distorted Wurlizer and Grandpiano a lot ,moogsounds and of course Tomas gorgeous hammondplaying ,to top it there is more mellotron than ever . So I guess what I'm saying is that this will sound less 2006 and more 1974 ...in a way . Personally I view this as our "White Album" and stylisticlly it's probably closer to FlowerPower or Retropolis than UTF or A&E.,that's how I hear it . That's all for now , A list of songs and details will soon be up on www.flowerkings.se Roine"
