New Grove Project - Brill [CD]

8 years after "Fools Journey" the follow up "Brill" is finally out. And this time NEW GROVE PROJECT hit the big drums. In best Scandinavian progressive manner we get 7 tracks of good music, ending with the 24 minute title track. My mind goes to FLOWER KINGS & IQ as well as hints of ÄNGLAGÅRD, to mention a few. But what could be expected from a band with the line up of Ingemar Hjertqvist: Vocals, John BoBo Bollenberg (BOLLENBERG EXPERIENCE): Vocals, Fredy Schnyder (Ex-THONK, NUCLEUS TORN) on guitars, mandolin, hammered dulcimer, keyboards, & grand piano, Andre Schornoz (SWISS GAMBLERS) on bass guitar, Hasse Bruniusson (Ex-SAMLA MAMMAS MANNA & FLYING FOOD CIRCUS) on drums and percussion, Jode Leigh (Ex-ENGLAND): Drums, piano and synthesizers and spoken words and finally Pär Lindh: On Hammond organ, grand piano and mellotron !!! Swedish progressive rock in the vein of the Flower Kings or Anglagard.
