Lineup left to right.
Reviews:
Roine Stolt together with another cornerstone from Swedish
progressive rock, Par Lindh can be heard on 'Fool's Journey' by THE NEW
GROVE PROJECT. The pivot on which everything hinges is Ingemar
Hjertqvist, a Swede who now lives in Switzerland.
The remarkable things on
this album is the collaboration of drummer Jode Leigh, the man who
used to be behind the drumkit with legendary band England (yes, the one
that released the ever splendid 'Garden Shed'). His typical way of
drumming (he uses no snare) gives the NEW GROVE PROJECT a unique sound
that has to be situated in between Flower Kings and a more
rhythmic Par Lindh. In 'Preulde' the sound of the organ is rather dominant whereas in
'My uncle' it is the brilliant drumming of Jode getting all the top
marks ! The
instrumental title track 'Fool's Journey' kicks off as refreshing
as Vivaldi's 'Spring' from his 'Four Seasons' opus with mainly Roine
Stolt
demonstrating his many skills whilst often getting close to the
sound of Steve Howe.By using Par Lindh the band could record in his Crimsonic Studio which also gave them the possibility to use an authentic Mellotron MV and Hammond B3. In the new song Decision elements from the ´old´Genesis melt together with Happy the Man and England in order to deliver something new and unique. An interesting project that will surely evolve in the future.
