[landovers]

Wooah, never heard of this before!

These guys do so many side projects, it can be hard to keep track of everything... not that I'm complaining :P

[Uceroy]

The first I hear of AoM, but I definitely like it :)

[a7fsoad2]

They may have carried what remained of the prog flame throughout the 80's, but there were other better bands part of the same movement such as IQ. Marillion to me is no better than what Yes and Genesis were doing in the 80's.

[vivelavidarocka]

Are you talking about the same Marillion I'm familiar with?: Best New Band in England and sold out world tours? Marillion kept Prog Rock alive at a time nobody cared about doing good music, and Genesis/Yes were doing Invisible Touch and Owner Of A Lonely Heart. Marillion were the only act, back in the 80's worth listening to. Besides King Crimson, that is. Did they had some 80's pop elements in their music? Absolutely, but then again, they were an 80's band that decided not to do bullshit music.

[jpirard]

people, most of the classic prog bands RE GONE> WE should thank the powers of the universe for all these great bands. And BTW, disparaging Marillion?????They have progressed consistenly. AOM does not sound like the Flower kings any more than FISH OUT OF WATER sounds like YES. someof the same style, sure, but come on!!!

[StupidProverb]

So...this is derivative of The Flower Kings, which is derivative of Marillion, which is derivative of Genesis.

So originality has been killed by being removed three degrees. Cool.

[marmas58ink]

1st AOM I've heard. There is a 'channeling PG' aspect. But it's not like he's 'renditioned' Elvis to do Love Me Tendr & Hounddog over a whole album. The creative element is pretty high seems to me. They pretty much 'makes it new'. It's hard to be entirely original. (I'm listening to the clips again now and... like I said!) Roine's style shows thru too. Theres much to like

He's not totally aping PG-in-G, & even if he were.. I wish they'd done much more -Joking & derivations aside I DO like this

[marmas58ink]

I got the cd, its good. What PG, & the attitudes he struck, might have said, but never did! But the music is strong and original enough that that perspective soon recedes. (There's a lot of things Gen-PG never got round to saying, lots of musical terrain they never crossed together.)

It's 78mins. Only about 1/3 is like that. 1/3 edges fairly close to FK territory. Stolt is lead singer on about 5 songs. But here he gets out of a rut, if that's what FK came to rep. to him. Fresh, fairly creative.

[Swededame]

@StupidProverb

Such bullshit. Roine and Pat are of the same generation. They are both old school Genesis fans and that´s one of the mutual influencial sources. Get your facts straight. Are you also saying that all heavy metal is derivative of Jimi Hendrix, and thus lacks of originality as well?

[a7fsoad2]

@StupidProverb What the HELL!?!? Marillion were a cheap imitation of 70's prog bands, but they had as much in common with 80's pop and boring rock and roll than real 70's prog. The Flower Kings are the REAL thing, I believe they truly bring back the feeling of late 60s psychedelic/late 70s prog...

[a7fsoad2]

@StupidProverb How can you even compare FK and Marillion? Marillion were a cheap attempt to reproduce 70s prog in a generation which was never ever going to accept it, even prog fans barely cared, you had the neo-prog scene and that was it until prog metal began in the mid to late 80's, then eventually prog rock came back on to the scene too. FK are very much a part of this revival and have genuinely succeeded in bringing back the feeling of late 60s/early 70s psychedelic/prog (unlike Marillion)

[GhostriderDuck]

Roine Stolt's a Genius!!

[MrProgrock]

Wonderful!

[ProggerProd]

Great concert in NJ!!! You guys blew the roof off the theater!!! You are all Amazing musicians!!! More music please!!!!

[Tentacleed]

I agree with suzartfam ... and not to mention that this is really boring, yet another TFK spinoff -.- ZZzzzzzz ....

[paulnery]

A great band ! Great music, Nad ia an amazing singer!!

[floydianslipp]

I'm an old Prog man from the 60's 70's. I can close my eyes and go back to my youth days.....

[rdoogie]

I REALLY like the voice effects. Wild!

Grandma always said "tell us what you like, not what you don't like".

[suzartfam]

I REALLY dislike the use of the voicebox. It's very contrived and there's just no way to distort Roine's voice to make it morph into Peter Gabriels....so they shouldn't force the issue so much. I'm tired of the preachy-ness that keeps coming from these guys. Oh well. FloKI had their day in the sun.

[Radharc]

I believe Nad is lead vocalist on this project, not Roine.

[ProggerProd]

Yes. Nad Sylvan of Unifaun is the lead singer and when Roine does sing, he sounds like himself.

[fingerboy18]

It's not even Roine haha! Show some respect. They do look at this channel you know :)

[Noilliram]

Better than most FloKi-stuff.

[flowerking01]

F'ing Great!!!

[zauberstimmchen]

omg... I'm delighted and speechless... you made my day, my week, my month and maybe my year... Mercy & Mercury is so fucking (speaking with Nad's word!) brilliant... counting the days until Loreley!
