Reviews:
This is exquisitely classy, polished, virtuoso keyboard and sundry rock elements. It is upper crust prog rock. What a great ride this is!
PLP is 100% pure class, fine art rock, complex, moving. This is as good as symphonic rock gets. Highly recommended!

Ever since I heard the first Pär Lindh Project CD I was totally blown away by the sheer power and musical skills. The latest album, ¨Mundus Incompertus¨, proves that Pär and his band are just getting better and better. Stunning is the only word I can think of - its so powerful! I just got to take my hat off to this man. Need I say more - HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
- Liv G. Whetmore. Impressions Magazine
Mundus Incompertus is already a very serious candidate for the title of the best 1998 prog album. It will quickly become a classic. This record goes beyond progressive. it summarizes in 45 minutes what intellegent accessible music is and should be.

This new album is the rightful sequel to Gothic Impressions. The titlesong is a true masterpiece if ever I heard one. Drummer Nisse Bielfeld and guitarist Jocke Ramsell deliver a doom metal taste. Lovers of pure classical music are also welcomed to this outstanding release by one of the worlds better composers.
Progressive world
It is rare, nowadays, to find a rock musician that is exciting, original and evocative. Most rockers contend themselves by being ¨someone¨else... It is dishearteningly painful to see a new generation of rock stars be exactly like the old ones. Sure they need to learn from the early masters but, having done so, they need to progress and expand rather than stagnate and imitate.
One of the rare exceptions to this trend is Pär Lindh, a classically-trained, modern thinking Swedish organist par excellence and the new giant of symphonic rock. His current album, Mundus Incompertus, is truly a masterpiece of classically inclined, resplendently succulent, unique feast for your inner sanctum. Swirls of powerful organ changing into sweet guitars and harpsichords in acoustic elegance. Magdalena Berg´s resplendent operatic voice offers a glimpse of a mysterious, northen lights-illuminated nordic paradise. Beyond being just an album, this CD, like expensive brandy is an experience to be savoured slowly but passionately. Extra highly recommended.

Mundus Incompertus recieved higher points than the new albums by for example Metallica, Motörhead, Pearl Jam, Joe Satriani & Bon Jovi in Japans leading rock magazine (and the worlds biggest rock mag) BURN 1998.
STUNNING AND INCREDIBLE NEW DISC FROM PAR AND CO. THE WORD
"MASTERPIECE" COMES TO MIND AS
THIS IS BY FAR THE BEST WORK FROM HIM. INCREDIBLY DYNAMIC
CLASSICALLY-BASED KEYBOARD-LED
HEAVY SYMPHONIC PROGRESSIVE, COLORED TASTEFULLY AND
EFFECTIVELY WITH OCCASIONAL PASSAGES
OF VIOLIN, RECORDER, AND OBOE, IN ADDITION TO HIS KILLER
BAND. THE VOCALIST MAGDALENA
HAGBERG IS ESPECIALLY NICE ON THE TRACKS SHE IS FEATURED ON.
THE BAND HAS A DEFINITE '90'S
POWER TO IT, THOUGH THE MUSIC IS CLASSIC PROGRESSIVE AND
THIS COMBINATION MAKES IT EVEN
MORE POWERFUL AND URGENT! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!!
HARD ROCK.
Third and so far best work of this Swedish keyboardist. Par
has captured the spirit of the 70's and his influences
from Keith Emerson are very clear.
The CD consists of three tracks. With the first track, Baroque
Impression No. I we have a killer instrumental with a
strong drum presence. The Crimson Shield is the perfect track
for the magic voice of Magdalena Hagberg, which
shows all the marvels of the lyric influences. Add a nice
arrangement of harpsichord and the tune is complete.
Mundus Imcompertus, a 26 minute suite, is a nice voyage to the
actual progressive rock made in the Sweden, that
marks a strong presence with its hard influences, and a new
trip to the 70's. The bass of Marcus Jäderholm is
astonishing, as the tons of keyboards layers of Par Lindh. The
female backing vocal and guitar and drums form an
instrumental never heard before.
